Mr. Ganesh Subramaniyam from Thiruvananthapuram Kerala, India, made a smallest gold code lock with a height of 3mm, a circumference of 1cm, and a weight of 41 mg. The code lock contains 3 lines of code number from 0 to 9. It sets the world record granted by the world Record Association for being the smallest gold code lock in the world.

I'd like to get this lock into my collection, but afraid it would get thrown out when I brushed up brass dust from impressioning a key!!!

That's amazing! So it's actually a functioning lock?

How the hell did he do that!?

Would guess that he is also a jeweler.

Beautiful work. The secret, of course, is to work under high magnification. In this case probably about a 20X microscope.
