Twiskee - An Inside Look
There is a seam on the bottom and that is what I tried to cut first; however, as it turns out, that seam runs nearly the full height of the lock body, so that was a nogo and I cut out around the keyway, which turned out to be where I needed to cut. A small hole saw would have been MUCH better, but alas, it was already getting ugly.

The chewed up bottom
The "cylinder" pieces
The barrel piece is what determines how much twist is required on a given key. This is a later version of the lock that would have side milling on the key as evidenced by the bump on it. Keys with the side milling will work on older padlocks with the same twist, but not vise versa. The "cup" piece as you can see here has a little cam on the bottom to move the locking dog when the key has depressed the center button.
The "cup"
Notice the dent, that is what engages the key to turn, so that the cam can move the locking dog.
Looking inside of the barrel with the "cylinder" removed.
The button in the center must be depressed for the locking dog to slide over by the action of the cam on the bottom of the cup.
All in all, maybe not the most secure lock ever made, but quite neat and an ingenious design.
