Corbin Russwin from Selim Impressioned

Selim sent me a 6-pin Corbin Russwin mortise cylinder, along with it came two blanks, so I thought I would give a go at impressioning it. It took a while...as you can see from the key there are some deep cuts. Also the 1st cut being zero bitted threw me off, I spent a while trying to make it mark... Anyway, I got a working key out of it, this shall be a bitch to pick.
I used a vice grip to hold the key, and a set of needle files, round, flat and triangle to make the cuts.
