Tooly Vision

[ToolyMcgee]

I was cheated out of my other double spool by the 2 sizes of driver pins. Something I didn't expect to see.

Stanley 60mm shrouded shackle steel padlock.


Not as difficult as I had hoped, but the tolerances are better than average, so I'm going to see about giving it some more anti-pick pins to maximize it's potential. Thanks for watching.

Yeah that's right, another Master No1 video. I know, I know I'm lame, but I happened upon the lock the other day, and suprised the vid came out so clear and I had to post it despite the rake fumbling.

Sorry about the wierd music, they muted my original audio...

You did the first lock quick! Well done!

Loved the view on the second video, how you can see the insides of the lock, you should do more like that, looks amazing!

Thanks. That's the input I needed to finish the spool driver video. Then I can sink this lock to the bottom of Lake Michigan.

Or you can post it to me

Cant wait for more videos, you have good skills

Nice videos.. I think it's neat to see the rake work inside the lock.

Weird music ? I can't hear that. Sounds good to me.

Thanks, I thought seeing the rake work was cool too. That why I posted an otherwise simple lock. I changed the music.

So, here is an average 1105 picked, then an older No30 blade tumbler.

I'll be on briefly later today, but then I'll be on the road, so reply's are going to go unanswered for a few days. As I said in the vid any info on the junkunc bros lock would be much appreciated. Hope you enjoy, and thanks in advance.

In the second video, if you notice, the music's "beat" comes in a few seconds after you start picking the lock, and it has a really nice effect, like you timed it to be like that...

What music is that? I want to steal it.

Actually the music was playing the entire time, just the song didn't pick up until that moment. I noticed, because on the 1105 I waited for it to drop. The second time was chance. It's a band called Apololyptica. A CD I had for awhile, but never listened to until I heard there music in a HallisChalmers vid. Please don't "steal" it. I like free stuff as much as anyone, but anyone who can make a violin rock like an electric guitar deserves the coin. Oh, and register a youtube account so you can leave some comments and rate videos.

I couldn't think of anything to put on the end

My youtube account it "TheShizzleCrew" (amazed that wasn't taken), ill rate you vid/leave comments tomorrow

njce work on the vids... with what/how did you make the tension tool?
feeler stock?
(i have been experimenting with that type,attempting to mimic peterson's)

[ToolyMcgee]

Ok, so this post got a little out of hand. I'd already had most of the project pictures uploaded for a tutorial I'll probably never finish. I took them as a half assed chronology template that never really made sense, but you asked for it.

njce work on the vids... with what/how did you make the tension tool?
feeler stock?

Good knife steel, a dremel, and a grinding wheel. I usually clamp the knife handle close to the middle on the side of a small square board, and slide the board on my work surface with my arm rested to steady the dremel. I pick a line and use a cutoff wheel to sketch it out as best I can, then clean the cut up with the grinding wheel. Addmittedly, not the most efficient way it could be done.



I like to try and use the stamps if I can.


The bottom wrench is ugly, but it works. The top is a more recent attempt to clean up the design.

Not as nice as the pieces of sheffield you've used, but good steel. Here's the top wrench in it's rough cut. The other two pieces are going to become wrenches too, as I find the thickness of the knife a good universal wrench size and the steel springs back well.


I have used feeler guages before, but 2nd hand steak knives are cheaper and I've been lucky recently finding so much good steel to work with to make tensioners.

(i have been experimenting with that type,attempting to mimic peterson's)

The shape is not hard to mimic, and if you had the right thickness you could duplicate it pretty close to true, maybe better, but a prybar or flatwrench w/microteeth would be tough. I remember you cut teeth into some tok wrenches. Do you think you could cut decent teeth in a piece of knife steel?

Tooly your mom called me asking where all her kitchen knives are! Quick what do I tell her

What does that thickness happen to be?
