I'm done with them. Really time consuming to make. I believe xeo and BB each have one. Don't give away the secret if you decide to contact BB. I'm hoping he makes a video of it one of these days.

Hey Fellahs,

So, I think I understand how to go about threading the plug with a tap+die setup but countemilling pin chambers has me stumped?

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).

Keep up the great work Flywheel :)

That is how I did it, Sean.

Brilliant. Thanks so much for putting a video together. Loved these pins before.....
but seeing some segments of you actually making them was very interesting indeed!

Make sure to send me a dollar for every pin you make. :mrgreen: Hell, KP discount...50 cents.

Outstanding job, Flywheel. Too bad you are not making them anymore. Would love to get one of your challenge locks with PIP.

Thank you for sharing here!

Texas Jim is not impressed by the PiP. Watch him make a mockery of the pins by easily picking them in three videos.

Maybe I should send you a nice LOB padlock to do your PIP magic with. Then see if he makes a mockery of it!

You should send me a LOB on general principle.
