This really was an awesome project, it had a bit of everything, hand tool work and machining, as well as being functional and also some stylish elements. It was one of my favourite projects to make. I was going to make the video in three parts, you would've got the second part much earlier but many of you showed a preference to single videos so I finished it in this second part. My 7 Plan Bundle: paskmakes.com/the-pask-makes-7-woodworking-plans-bundle/
So what are you going to lock up with it? Perhaps a little box with the tongs in it to hide it from Mrs P. I'm the same as the others and the longer the video the better.
The reason for me at least is your skill in editing, you don't focus on one part for too long. You keep a good flow from one part of the project to the next keeping it fresh and entertaining.
Every video that you release is a testament to how real and skillful you are. And I love it that you show your mistakes. You Inspire many thousands of people every time you post. I appreciate your work Neil.
I see a scrap wood challenge of this lock only much bigger as a wall hanging with clear face so you can see the innerworkings. Great build! It's a work of art. As to multi part projects I enjoy them as I get more information from them. I do want to see the end as well but a wait is fine too.
I for one prefer the "long form" format videos. They hold my attention better, feel less rushed, and give me the warm fuzzy satisfied feels. I'm starting to think all these 15-20 min videos I binge are giving me ADD.😆
For multipart videos you could also add them all into a playlist and then people who want to watch them in bulk can wait for the end and then use the playlist.
Once I saw the mechanism coming together I could hear in my head, "This is the lock picking lawyer..." I love these kind of lock and seeing one be made was really cool.
I wonder how LPL would do against this... it seems like there's nothing to tension, which... changes the game a bit??!? Granted, if this is a whole style of locks that exists in the world, then LPL probably knows how to confront them. Still, an interesting thought. Anyway, yes, great work, Neil!
@@DavidLindes That spring pushing the shackle open supplies a bit of constant tension, you could increase the tension by pulling on the shackle. With no false gates, you could use a pin to feel which lever is binding, and slowly push it into position until it clicks into the gate, then go push the others open one at a time.
I found a 6 lever pancake lock when I was hand hoeing a field of corn over 40 years ago. The lock was in excellent condition although it had probably been out there for many decades. It had a beautiful dark green patina and a patent date of 1897 engraved in the back. Of course there was no key, so it was great to see how the mechanism works. Fantastic project!!!
@@pettere8429 I second this suggestion. Not so much because he will pick it but because his knowledge of locks is prodigious and I'm sure he would have some useful suggestions.
This really gives me a new appreciation for the early locksmiths who invented and crafted the most successful designs before mass production put them out of business. Locksmiths actually used to be smiths, rather than fitters and pickers, as the name of the trade suggests. Congratulations on 1 million subscribers!
1M subscribers? OK, that's just WOW! and deserved. I might not like all projects, and I might disagree on some things, but they are very well executed and challenge my too rigid mindset at times! Plus your work is better than mine, meaning you are likely right and I'm wrong 😅 I just cleaned up my subscription list - this channel is here to stay. Oh, and I already bought some projects in that pack, but I still have not built any. D'oh. Other things are still further up on the list 😕
Hey Neil. NZ here. I have had one of those locks since I was little >35years. Mine happens to be 5 lever. Its something I treasure dearly. Over the years I lost the keys and kept making more by picking it first, challenge yourself to make a key without opening or referencing the one you have. Its always a fun time. So nice to see you make one. Love your work buddy. So happy to see you on the metal tools.
Beautiful craftsmanship and I echo the others who love a longer video. I often watch while folding clothes or washing dishes and it really makes doing those annoying tasks SO MUCH BETTER.
Great work. Listen I find your videos far more entertaining than most things in theaters these days so I could watch a full 2 hr upload of yours. Don't be afraid of posting longer videos, you fans love them. Cheers from America
The amount of work and effort that you put into your videos I will gladly sit for an hour plus and watch it. I love your approach on how you tackle the project at hand and I can understand it more when it’s presented all at one time. Make On my Friend. Maker 238
most amazing stuff i´v ever came across in you tuve !! im a locksmith , i collect repair , restore , and key making to old locks as a hobby , and i have always wanted to make my own padlock , one of these days i will , thanks for inspiring !
Your attention to the technical and structural elements on this project were awesome - but it was your inspired attention to the cosmetic and esthetic details that elevates it above a "homemade lock", bringing the end product up to the level of artistic creation. You may have followed some technical plans, but the result is pure Pask........
Absolutely fascinating, I know it is not a usual woodworking video, but I have been glued to your every move on this, you could have made these three hours and I would still be watching at the end. I had a little knowledge of the workings of locks, but this has still had me watching every pin and spring.
Neil, really loved this and learning how the basics of a padlock work, really nicely done. Also appreciate that you listened to your audience and didn't end up making a 6 parts series out of something that didn't need it to be.
With builds like this, long videos - 45 minutes to over an hour - are more than justified. Not only does the complexity of the project justify the length, but it also imparts a sense of the effort to the viewer. I love long form videos like this, where it’s just step by step, a long but rewarding process. Maybe I don’t pay attention to every little filing or operation, but being able to see the love and effort in the workmanship helps me to be more productive in my own efforts at the same time
Absolutely beautiful! And the fact that you asked about multi part videos, and followed through with it, speaks volumes to how much you care about your viewers. I would much rather have one longer video, than a multi part video. You're the best!
Awesome. I honestly had zero idea of how long it was, you had me riveted from the get-go, Mate. This was beautifully done and I loved how you showed alternative methods to get the results you did. Thanks for sharing this lovely padlock. It's the best of all worlds: a functional piece of art. My favorite.
This was amazing to watch. I have one of these old locks and I've always admired their design. It's neat to watch someone recreate the magic of these old locks.
Either a lot of parts video, or full long video. They're a joy to watch! The only thing is, keep doing them! And I'll keep watching! Regards from Madeira island, Portugal!
Amazing project, I agree it’s probably your best to date. So many skills coming together for a wonderful result. I really enjoy the long-format videos, my vote is for more 👍🏻
Amazing. If you had 2 hours long video, I would watch it. The more minutes you give usbthe sweeter the joy of watching your content. Can't wait the next one.
Amazing. I would have never thought of calling a lock beautiful but I really have to say that is beautiful craftsmanship. I have a store bought lock that's built similar to that on the outside but it doesn't compare to what you've made. Just wow!
Loved that video, I don't mind the multi-part videos, but I also really love the longer videos personally. I always end up going on a binge and rewatching old videos anyway, and by that stage any multi-part videos can be watched in one sitting anyway. I would have started watching as a purely Woodworking fan, but these metalworking videos are a totally different set of skills, and I just love watching your process more than anything.
As with all your videos I will never attempt to make what you have made. Mainly due to my personal circumstances (lack of tools, bad back and arthritic fingers). However all your videos have a huge entertainment value to me. Your endless patience, not only in making intricate projects like this that require multiple test fits, but in making the effort to film it all for us is admirable. Absolutely love watching you work. Long videos are fine by me.
That was SO COOL! I mean, just absolutely fascinating! I was so enthralled watching you make this and learning the different parts of the lock and how they all work together that I completely lost track of time. I'm glad you didn't do a three-part video. I like getting to see it all come together at once.
Pretty awesome when average Joe’s comment and tell you how much they enjoyed this project (like myself), it’s a whole other thing when I read all these other machinists comments on how much they enjoyed it as well! High praise 👍🏼 hats off to you sir 👏🏼
You should be very proud of that piece. It looks amazing and I'm sure it brings lots of joy to use. A long video is my preference- I have a pause button.
So happy to see part 2 of this video. Wowsers that is definitely unique an very cool project. This turned out very well. Hopefully you get great use out of it my friend for many years to come. Can't wait to see more videos soon my friend. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Keep making. God bless.
Holy hell Neil! That isn't a project, that is art! I have never in my life heard someone admit to liking using a file. I prefer working with wood, but I can see the appeal to working with brass. Again, my hat off to an exemplary artist! [EDIT] I agree, one longer video rather than multiple shorts. If someone watching doesn't have the attention span to watch a longer video, the content isn't for them. What you do is craftsmanship. It takes time. If they want it done quicker, then they need to buy it from Taiwan or China. Your videos are made with people who know fine work in mind. Keep up the good work, my entire family looks forward to new videos from you!
Thanks, Neil. I prefer the longer clips too. We can always pause and revisit if a production feels too much for one sitting but that hasn't been the case for me yet! Love the life lessons I'm learning from you. That may not be you're primary intention but noone can deny the humility, hard work and perseverance that cones through on every one of your clips. Really appreciated. :)
A fantastic lock 🔐 I love it! The brass, the nail punch peppering, the etching, and the design is amazing! A real work of art (like most of your projects) that I'm sure, if available, would fetch top dollar! A hearty "Well done" to you sir.
I love projects like this. You learn as you go along and you don't try to hide that. Many projects are non-starters for me but when I see you just going for it, I get more motivated to try!
Off the chart first time project and the end result Fabulous! So many ops, machine work and hand work, hand fitting and and and and...Superb videography. I Agree about it being a favorite project of yours, especially considering how many you've done over the years! Thank You, Neil for what you bring to the community with all your projects!
🙌 respect! I've been following your work since the early scrapwood challenges and your developing into a full blown rennaisance craftsman is equally inspiring and entertaining to watch.
I really used to hate your videos and I’m so glad my taste has changed. You’re such a great craftsman! Also hand filing is awesome (something I’ve also changed my mind about)
You never cease to amaze me. That was brilliant work as always. I love how you took this super-complicated mechanism step by step until it was done and fully functional. I’m not sure I’m ready to give one a go, but when and if I do, I’m a bit more confident I could do it…… though not as beautiful as yours turned out. Thank you again for another awesome video!
I can see how this was one if your favorite projects ever. I followed right along with this build and loved every minute of it. I like that you used whatever method you felt like for each task. I can totally relate to that. When working on a project of my own I sometimes choose methods that are not necessarily the easiest, but the ones I need practice with, or, even a method that I've never done. It never hurts to have a wide array of ways to get the same thing done. This lock is very cool! As are all of your projects. The video reminded me that I need to visit an acquaintance of mine who repairs pianos. I hope to talk him out of some music wire pieces for the purpose of spring making. Cheers to another great build from one of my favorite makers!
I think that is the most interesting project I have watched you do, Mr P. Well done on all the figuring out and fettling as you went along! No issues from me on the length of the videos, mate. Not big fan of multi-parters, as you never feel that drawn in by them. Keep up the great work!
Very nice job, I enjoyed the video. I really like when you had the see thru plastic on and all the components could be seen working. Keep up the great videos
Fantastic Project! Was a lot of fun watching it and the extra length videos just make it more interesting. I can only dream of having patients like you do. Well Done! And yeah I would love to see a giant scrap wood challenge version hanging on your wall some day as mentioned in the comments!
So sick Pask! Also, I think doing this in 2 videos instead of 3 was a good call! The project was edited well enough to be entertaining the whole way through!
This really was an awesome project, it had a bit of everything, hand tool work and machining, as well as being functional and also some stylish elements. It was one of my favourite projects to make.

My 7 Plan Bundle: paskmakes.com/the-pask-makes-7-woodworking-plans-bundle/
that thing is a real Beauty. I dont mind long vids, dont mind multiple vids, but prefer the long ones, Keep up the amazing work
The longer the better, Mr. P. I, for one, find that your videos help with reducing stress, and I think we can all use a bit of that these days.
So what are you going to lock up with it? Perhaps a little box with the tongs in it to hide it from Mrs P.
I'm the same as the others and the longer the video the better.
The reason for me at least is your skill in editing, you don't focus on one part for too long. You keep a good flow from one part of the project to the next keeping it fresh and entertaining.

You are at the point where any length video will be watched and enjoyed. Parted or whole it’s all gold!
This was like a journeyman project for an apprentice machinist. I'm sure you must feel suitably proud -- it looks great!
Thanks - I have to say I am pretty leased with it! :)

About the multi parts videos, I could watch a 2 hours long video, so good to watch you work!
Pretty cool project!! I love it
When (not if in that case) my mechanics thinks you've done a great job, that pretty much means you've outdone yourself
Way to go!
@@philipp4025 All we need now is The Lock Picking Lawyer to try and pick it open. Just to make sure it was not a fluke.
@@The_Modeling_Underdog ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
Thanks very much - really glad you liked it! :)
You two should do a collaboration together👏🏼 like if you agree. The two Masters of All !!
Don't mind the long videos at all. In fact I appreciate and prefer the longer videos to the short ones.
Same here.
I feel the same way. I run long videos on a tablet while I work in the shop. It makes lockdowns a little less lonely.
Loved it!
For multipart videos you could also add them all into a playlist and then people who want to watch them in bulk can wait for the end and then use the playlist.
Me too.
Absolutely beautiful 🙌🏼
Thanks very much Jimmy! :)
Once I saw the mechanism coming together I could hear in my head, "This is the lock picking lawyer..." I love these kind of lock and seeing one be made was really cool.
This was awesome. After watching many videos from the Locking Picking Lawyer, it’s great to see the other side of how locks work. Great job Neil.
Thanks Tricia! :)
I wonder how LPL would do against this... it seems like there's nothing to tension, which... changes the game a bit??!? Granted, if this is a whole style of locks that exists in the world, then LPL probably knows how to confront them. Still, an interesting thought.

Great video Neil. As someone interested in locksport this brought together two of my hobbies. Also the long videos are great.
Thanks very much Phil - glad you enjoyed it! :)
He should lend it to LPL to see how pickresistant it is. :P
@@pettere8429 I second this suggestion. Not so much because he will pick it but because his knowledge of locks is prodigious and I'm sure he would have some useful suggestions.
Ditto, it would make a great cross branding feature for both Pask & LPL
I absolutely would love to see lpl have a look at this and likely talk about the history of these types of locks

absolutely fantastic, Neil! I've been wanting to design a lock for years so this sure was fun to watch.

Best 30 minutes and 16 seconds of any show I could have watched. Bravo and quite a nice lock.
The etching and dimple design looks soooo cool! And I have no problem with longer videos since its all great content!
The longer the video the better, is always a pleasure watching you work!
I love this lock… I don’t mind long videos nor I don’t mind 2-3 parts to your videos. Thank you so much for sharing.

It is often said that most machining can also be done with a file and a big portion of patience. Pask proves that true. Again and again 🤩
12:50 "I'm not confident any of this mechanism is going to work" Noone who regularly watches your videos had any doubt. Well done, as always!
Awesome. I honestly had zero idea of how long it was, you had me riveted from the get-go, Mate. This was beautifully done and I loved how you showed alternative methods to get the results you did. Thanks for sharing this lovely padlock. It's the best of all worlds: a functional piece of art. My favorite.
Thanks very much Vickie - glad you enjoyed it! :)
I will forever be amazed and blown away by your skill, but most of all your patience. You are a true artist and craftsman!!!

IMO… 30 minute videos from you, are enjoyable. 👍🏻
I actually prefer longer videos. Keep up the good work! Love watching the things you make.
Amazing job!!! So worth the wait!!!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I was gonna watch this for 5 minutes and now it’s finished and I don’t want it to end!
Amazing project, I agree it’s probably your best to date. So many skills coming together for a wonderful result.
I really enjoy the long-format videos, my vote is for more 👍🏻
Fantastic Job! You sir are on the way to becoming a true renaissance man with all your talents.
Superb, Neil. I like this format, it shows how much work is involved in creating and fine-tuning this kind of projects.
Amazing. If you had 2 hours long video, I would watch it. The more minutes you give usbthe sweeter the joy of watching your content. Can't wait the next one.
Longer videos are better, people can pause them if they have the need. Excellent project mate, you certainly have some skills!

You are fearless! You also have much more patience than I do. Thanks for all your videos.
Loved the longer informative video. I think you are the original Mr. Patience. Keep going and thank you for sharing
that spring action looks like it's very satisfying to open and close
Love how this came out! You are a patient man and it shows, especially when you said "I don't mind because I like filing" lol
Nice bit of work, you don't see a project like this very often. Enjoyed it immensely, and fine looking it is as well, thanks and cheers!

I Agree about it being a favorite project of yours, especially considering how many you've done over the years! Thank You, Neil for what you bring to the community with all your projects!
This is one of my favorite of your videos, very neat build. And I agree, longer videos are better than a bunch of multi part.

What a beautiful result! Watching your videos is so relaxing and therapeutic for me. Thank you!
It still feels weird to me seeing all those machining tasks and then hearing Neil's voice over it ;D
You did a great job!
One of my favorite videos you've done, and I've watched them all.
I enjoyed the build! Being a commercial locksmith for over thirty years and built a lot of my own parts. I think you did a great job!!
Wow Neil, your attention to detail is amazing, I'm loving your longer video's I watch this all day.
You never cease to amaze me. That was brilliant work as always. I love how you took this super-complicated mechanism step by step until it was done and fully functional. I’m not sure I’m ready to give one a go, but when and if I do, I’m a bit more confident I could do it…… though not as beautiful as yours turned out. Thank you again for another awesome video!
Thanks very much Tim! :)
Incredible work. I don’t know why this didn’t show up when you released it, but wow!

Thanks very much Mark - glad you enjoyed it and definitely give spring making a go! :)
Beautiful, precision craftsmanship, Neil. (Glad to hear I’m not the only person that enjoys the zin-ish grace of filing.)
Too long? Not enough! Thanks, keep them coming. Hopefully a scrap wood challenge next. Cheers
I don't know why Pask needs a mill, he is a wizard with hack saw and files!
So happy that you opted to make the longer video.
I think that is the most interesting project I have watched you do, Mr P. Well done on all the figuring out and fettling as you went along!
No issues from me on the length of the videos, mate. Not big fan of multi-parters, as you never feel that drawn in by them. Keep up the great work!
Very nice job, I enjoyed the video. I really like when you had the see thru plastic on and all the components could be seen working.
Keep up the great videos
Ooooohhhh!! A *push* key as apposed to a *turn* key. That makes so much sense! I've learned something - thanks!
And now everybody knows how good our Craftsmen in the last centuries are been. !
Fantastic Project! Was a lot of fun watching it and the extra length videos just make it more interesting. I can only dream of having patients like you do. Well Done! And yeah I would love to see a giant scrap wood challenge version hanging on your wall some day as mentioned in the comments!
So sick Pask! Also, I think doing this in 2 videos instead of 3 was a good call! The project was edited well enough to be entertaining the whole way through!
i just love your videos! i really like the way you talk over your videos. its so nice and calm.
I love this 2 part video, probably one of my favorites. Please do more interact and longer videos like this !
