Yep - that will look good, put some colour in the grooves
Brass is heavy so to lighten it (if required) one can drill the inside out, sort of a (hexagon) tube

Dave,
I like the heaviness of brass and making the grooves will remove a fair amount of brass so no hollowing will be necessary.
Here's a quick sketch.

That's funny.... I was just thinking the same thing in stainless!
Ed, as far owing Dave a key chain:

Thanks Dave. I enjoy doing CAD drawings.

Ed,
That will look nice, just have to figure out how to make it
Holding the brass rings equally spaced

Dave,
That's easy. They're just brass and delrin washers slid on to the stub of the main body. The left end cap is press fit onto the end to hold the washers tight against each other. Clear as mud?
Ed
Ok DaveH,
Now I want to see the TV advert.
