Jos Weyers final round 2010 SSDev impression championships

23 may Hamburg Germany, the final round (of six) in the German open championships impressions Technik. The trick is to open a lock by filing a blank key to the correct depth without knowing what these depths are.
This opening is a new record, but as I opened just five out of six locks in an average of 2 min 20 sec per lock, I came in third.
Can't wait till the Dutch open in Sneek to try to win back the trophy.

what is the brand of the vise you us for holding the cylinder? I have not seen anything like it in N. America.

@urbantig :

those are two Manfrotto superclamps. An idea by JohnSan. They work perfectly.

tricky. He used a pre-made key. He stared without firstly putting the key. Or may be he knows by memory.

@desenxuxator :

the first file-action is for making a "11111" from a uncut (non-prepared) blank key. After some training you know where to file and how deep to get to the 1's. After that you have to read the marks. So no, no pre-made keys or combo's were used. (with all the judges around this would be impossible, let alone non-sportmens-like)
