Wanted to share the S&G 6730-135 that I mounted up. I've been reading the book daggers wrote (thanks daggers!) and "Safecracking for the Computer Scientist". I think I have enough info to start graphing, but I'm interested to hear about any other reference material that would be recommended. Anyhow, what do you guys think of my mount? I hope my wife doesn't start wondering what happened to our cutting board

Also, thanks Oldfast! I have wanted to learn how to do this since I was a kid... Just never knew how to get started. Your safe chronicles gave me the kick I needed.

The National Locksmith Guide to Manipulation is also another good one to read.

Reading it now! Thanks a million man!

Have you made a successful manipulation of that cutting board yet?

The width of the cutting board makes me think it would be interesting to make a board with two locks, like the one Oldfast made. He does great work, and yes, his manipulation thread is an inspiration.

I am almost without words proud to say that yes I have! Only a little while ago, in fact! When I was working my way up graph three and heard that nose drop, my hands started shaking. This was my first manipulation ever, and I intentionally did not know the combo as I was doing it. I showed my wife how to set it and told her that I was absolutely not to know it no matter how much I begged, pleaded and threatened divorce. I will upload my graphs and documentation after I scan them.

Thank you everyone for your inspiration and support! You have no idea how much it means to me!
