So this is what I am going to be adding to the Oldfast pass along. I am posting a bunch of pics so I didn't want to hijack that thread.
I went to Lowes today and picked up a cheap screwdriver $ .88, a bar of allthread $1.06, and used tools for the rest.
I started by grinding a sharp point on the screwdriver then heat treating it instead of using a file then put it in a vise and secured it and put my pins in a Dremel.
Then I countermilled the plug.
Then I countermilled the cylinder.
Made the caps out of a bar of allthread with a dremel making a slot on the top for a screwdriver.
And this is the finished product.
The lock still functions with the key smoothly. After I countermilled the plug it made it a great deal harder to pick. I have not tried picking since I countermilled the cylinder.
