Nice Beaver!!!

GW, you really need to wash that beaver out! I mean seriously, there is broken bits of candy and money all up in that beaver! As if the broken candy stragglers weren't bad enough, money is just NASTY FILTHY!

I would definitely be appreciated (and I am guessing that I am also speaking for others who were afraid to speak up for whatever reasons) that the next time you go trotting your beaver around, waving it in everyone's faces, that you first clean your beaver well. After all, there is not much that is less appealing than a filthy beaver!

In all seriousness though, nice gumball machine! Lots of good pics too, dig it!

Nice job Gordon. Neat project. I bought a little Jelly Belly dispenser at a garage sale awhile back.
I tore it all apart to get it cleaned up for Alison, then had to watch a 3 yr. old tear one apart on utube
in order to put mine back together. LOL

.....Picking this lock is easy enough to do, but the problem is you need to pick it for each quarter turn, for about 20 full revolutions.

Reminds me of a trailer lock I have (& couple others I've come across). I've always thought it would
be nice to see this same 'un-threading' mechanism applied to a variety of other locks. The obvious
downside is that it's not too friendly for the end user, but it's downright nasty for the average picker.
