      Maybe the lock has arrived from an time machine, and is the origin to the saying:

      Invite your boss round for a meal, and offer to show him what you have in the shed. When you get to the shed produce the giant key and insert in the giant lock. Turn around to see boss' car disappear in a cloud of rubber. 😈

    Although I understand how key mechanism works, I really enjoyed how you made it so simple to understand even to a layman on keys. Kudos!

    Wonderful project excellent workmanship, I have some history for you, In 1840's mr. Yale was over in England, going to build a factory to open up the European market to his company, he and his family were in London England checking out the sites to see and came acrossI a store that was full of Egyptian artifacts. Table in the corner set this massive wooden lock . It was nothing like he had ever seen before,, it was a pin Tumbler lock, it was in poor condition and it was like a cut a way of it self, it exposed it's internal workings. He and the proprietor could not come to terms on buying it, so he drew pictures of it. He and his father worked on it for 10 years and In 1854 his
    Company Paton the pintunber lock, he invented the sheer line term we use in Locksmithing. Today we are still using the lock that was back engineered from a 6000 year old Egyptian lock, History is fun is'n't.

    I'm super impressed at how quickly and confidently you cut out those circles on the bandsaw. (Yes I've taken into account the sped up footage.)

    This is great I learned two different things today how a key works and how to make a key lock

    Next a disc detainer lock? :D
    Already knew how pin-tumbler locks work, but this is a really great demonstration. No clue how disc detainer locks work, though.

    You said that you had an issue with the holes lining up. I realize that you were talking about the holes aligning vertically between all the parts you glued together. But I am also discussing the lateral alignment of those holes. This is a real world known issue in the lock world. It is essentially the reason that locks are pick-able. If the holes were PERFECTLY aligned than you would never be able to find one binding pin at a time. All pins would bind and unbind and the same time. You would release pressure and all pins would drop back down simultaneously. If lock manufacturers could solve that tolerance issue, they could make locks very difficult to pick.

    Looks like something you would see in a preschool to teach the kids how to work a lock
