ORIGINAL knex 3 digit combination lock: prototype

I claim that this is an original creation because although many people built a lock like this, i was the first.

my first knex combination lock. i haven't seen anything like this on youtube, so i decided to make one.

it functions like any other lock, 3 disks with a small groove in each one that once they are lined up, it allows the lever to be moved into the "unlocked" position.

Very good! I only have one suggestion though. Since on the last digit the lever simply falls into place, the final digit is somewhat obsolete since it could easily be guessed by turning it till it clicked. If you could find a way to stop it from doing that, the last number would still be as useful as the others.

@nfhslugger yeah i noticed that problem when i built it. in my new design you dont have to guess the last one
