absolutely beautiful - so many masterful techniques here. I hope you won!
Exceptional workmanship. You did your homework well on the early padlock design. I especially like how you have taken a style found in some pocket watches where you can view the inner workings.

Wow... truly beautiful display of craftsmanship
Thank you, this is still my favorite project to this day.
