By the way, wood chippers are great for pin modification.

Here is the plug before reassembly. This is what BB will have to pick through.
Here we go. This is the final order with pin one on the right and six on the left.

Suggested improvement - countermilling or threading the pin channels to catch those beautiful stepped spool pins.
This was a fun pick, and caught my attention primarily because of deeper and deeper false set. After three progressively deeper false sets, thought control was yet another false set. Appreciate the fun, Flywheel.

Ideas for how can one countermill the pin chambers in the plug? I'd love to be able to cut a ledge out below the lip (like some of the Scandinavian-made locks often have). My only thought so far is to find a small enough dremel cutting bit with a squared off cylinder shape (not rounded) - but no idea if this would work, plus I haven't yet found the right bit (I have one the right shape but too big).
