Creating a Monster

[Logan]

Following Xeo's countermilling tutorial I threw this little project together... (Xeo's tutorial ------> http://keypicking.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=7647&p=66485&hilit=countermilling#p66485)

Thanks to Jeffmoss26 for the 6/32 setscrews and of coarse Xeo for the tutorial and some ideas that will make the lock even more evil in the future.

And now I present you with the Corbin Monster Ring v1.0





The pin configuration will get a bit nastier once I see if I can pick this beast as it sits...
Future configurations are likely to include LAB spools, T-Pins, and maybe some home brew serrated spools.

or you could just use some long bolts and screw them trough all the rings and plug

Oh shiiiiiit.... lol. Nice one Logan! Will it possibly have a youtube debut someday (I hope)?

PURE EVIL!

I'm going to have to do this to my Corbin MR as well it looks like far too much fun to pass up.

Fuck ! i'm drooling , and sweating at the thought of that mofo !
Excellent work by the way !

Thank you everyone for the kind words about the beast...
I just spent the crunchiest 22 minutes of my life getting it open; now to try to get the time down a bit and post to youtube, then replace the build up pins with thin lipped LAB spools and T-pins and maybe serrate the key pins while I'm at it to make it a true masochists dream.
This lock is way too much fun to keep to myself so at some point this coming summer maybe I'll throw it into a pass along or something like that

I guess you really enjoyed those 22 minutes! I'm curious about how was picking it, I may end up tapping one myself.

Congrats

It's a LOT of fun to pick tons of heavy crunching, popping and thunking. I found and still find it very challenging and a great aid in learning to vary my tension and backing off just enough to drop a single pin down. Trying to read the difference between a set and just another serration in the milling has proven difficult in this lock and I'm continuing to work on that.

This was probably video attempt #3, by the end I was so frustrated I was just jabbing and hoping I was going to upload the attempt before this one but by minute 10 I was saying things to the lock that would make the devil blush lol.

Nice idea! gonna be even nastier to pick once you get some more evil pins in there.

If you have em, try a ball bearing in each stack. I have a Russwin like that.

has noone tried threading the keypins? that would be neat in a setup like this... just sayin...
