Nice, good job! I believe PickSmith received the original HM and after gutting discovered broken and bent drivers. So, he resurrected and used as much of J.gabriel's original pins and ideas as possible. That trench trap in chamber one I think was PickSmith's design and I've seen a picture where the false set can go to right at 180 degrees if engaged. Truly masterful picking for a difficult lock Jim.
excellent work, the neodymium key pins are mine, not sure what other key pins survived the original, drivers 1, 2 and 5 looks like my work. excellent PnG, and Picksmith did a great job on the resurrection. those T trench traps are tricky to make and having the pins travel properly through them. I've been lucky a few times but had catastrophe for the most part. I will DM you original Holy Moly pictures and also I'd say my Magnum Opus with trench traps as well. now imagine those neodymium key pins in Dull Moment 😁
So that medium deep false set you fell into is from two. But I don’t think you picked it 😆. You have to get the two green dots to pass each other. So you must turn the plug past 90 to pick. The instructions on the tag are for gutting. J made 1,2&5 drivers and the key and key pins are all his. I remade 3,4&6 and did the plug and upper mods 😉😆 🍻✌🏻🌶

Sweet picking! Like the orientation dots on the front of that.
Definitely an interesting lock. lol. Good job picking
Great bit of picking Jim. Lovely challenge lock by two stars - Happy Easter 🍻🍻🍻
Thanks man, you too.
Great picking. You are so light with your tension. A lesson I should apply more often.
