Did you design the lock or did you have a guide? I'll pay you via paypal for any information on how to get started making one of these. This is amazing please respond!!!!

@benhamienproductions :

I didn't have any guides. Just some paper and pencil, and some bits and pieces from old clocks.

Very impressive. If you have any spare time to write instructions please do so. I understand if you can't though but I would love to replicate this. Just don't know where to start.

@benhamienproductions :

Well all I could really do is draw some blueprints, but since it's made from scrap parts I'm guessing it wouldn't do you much good. Your best bet is to first get a hand on some old clock gears, and some brass stock. Next up just draw up a little crap-o-cad of how you want things to move, and lay your parts on top of the drawing. I'd be happy to answer any questions.

Awesome! This is a work of art and pure genius! I really like the ratteling sound it makes when closing the lock :)

Great work.
