Manifoil Mk IV Refurb: A video diary

[MHM]

Well, God help me, I've ended up getting interested in safelocks...and I can think of no better way to feed the obsession than by getting down and dirty with a modern industrial design icon, the Manifoil IV.

I bought a literal bag of bolts - kinda like finding a 1969 E Type Jag in bits in a farmer's barn - and I'm going to spend the next few months working on a lock that very few guys outside the industry are privileged to see.

I'd love to have the input of the guys in this group so please dive in and tell me what you think, what you see, and what you reckon I could be doing better.

Episode one of the project is here.

I think I speak for many here when I say this will be fun to watch! I'm glad you decided to share your project with our forum. Good luck and enjoy your journey!

Well shucks, my laptop hasn't been working for youtube videos for about a month now.
Not sure why, but I'll have to catch up once I get it straightened out. Looks interesting!

Looking forward to the next installment. Heres one I put into a practice set up.
