Cool!!! Good thinking on the cover, now you can just slide it off and rekey as needed for picking practice!!!

Excellent. Can you offer some tips on locating the brass pins/plugs that hold the pins in so you know exactly where to drill?

thanks everyone and to piotr i sanded down the pin side of the lock so i could jest see the plugs then i took a center punch and lightly tappet them in so it leaves a nice little circle to drill on
