Outstanding and deliciously sadistic work. I love the intricacy and how they'll make the binding order a moving target. I sure hope I never come across any of these at the end of my pick. Yikes.
I started watching this and wondered if I could just drill out some master wafers, since I have no fine saw like that. I've drilled pins before but they were small drivers. Tweezers weren't working to chuck up that tiny pin... so I picked it up with a piece of electrical tape. Worked! Just made 2 from Kwikset #4 Master wafers. I'll try smaller after I watch the rest of this video. Yes. I was able to do #2 wafers and that is about as small as I think practical. After dragging them across some 600 grit paper they measured out about 0.95 mm thick.
@@Dmaclocksport I got to use some JB weld to fill in the the trap pin holesat the 1030 position on the plug. Had bricked one up because I went clockwise with the key ground off the crimps and was able to get the pins plus it gave me an extra plug to practice undercutting, so no real loss. This video helps out a lot! Thanks for putting it up! I will have to give your way a try!
Ah, so that's how you do that. Good idea and not too difficuly to make. I should try something like that when I make a next CL. It gives me plenty of evil ideas👍
Cool video on how to make those pins, very neat work. Little worried that the super glue wouldn't hold up to picking for long. Maybe the glued end could have a smaller diameter so less force would be applied to it in the bible chambers.
Thanks for your comments. So far, they've held up, but I did a short update video a few days later on a different method for capping the pins for the very reasons you mentioned. 😊👍🏻
I’ve learned so much from your challenge lock videos. This one is extremely cool, thanks for sharing, I will get ambitious enough to try this some day :).
I don’t want to teach my grandmother to suck eggs so to speak. Rather than regular Super Glue, I think I would use permanent grade Loctite, I have seen and used it in fitting and turning on a lathe or milling machine, it works really well.
Although I havent had any problems to date, I had some similar comments previously. I did a rattlesnake pin update video where I used a ball peen hammer to close the loose rings as another, more permanent option 👍🏻
I never thought u could use a dill bit like that. What is holding that bit? Is it a hand crank style holder? Or did u manipulate something into a holder? Great video mate!
Cheers buddy. It's called a pin vice. Designed for hobby use where you need to drill by hand. The principle is the same as a lathe in that the cutting bit is not spinning, but the material is. This means you get a better cut and it self- centres 👌🏻
I wanted to let you know that I've found the best way for me to make rattlesnake pins. I've tried silver solder and it's hard to get the cap to stay where you want it when trying to heat it up and don't apply solder. Epoxy is very messy and can be unpredictable, at least for me. If you're interested sir I can give you my email address and I'll gladly show you what I've come up with. The way that I found you're able to adjust the size of the pin as well as any distance you want to give your buttons / wafers to move around.
@@Dmaclocksport awesome I just arrived at the office I'm about to check out the video, I sent you two separate emails. The first one shows my rattlesnake pin and the second one has links of what I used and what I will be using to make my rattles. Also tell us in a couple of pictures of some of my work on key pins and I would love your feedback cuz I know you do awesome work!
Also do y’all have Gorilla glue? Or even maybe a 2 part epoxy? I wouldn’t trust super glue to hold anything other than what it’s originally designed for, which was mending wounds in battle. Or maybe it doesn’t matter once installed? Or am I over thinking it can still work if separated? I’m tough on picks and pins for sure as I’ve been heavy handed while learning. And was a tip I heard from LPL in one of his tensioning clips. I think light is the key. Punn intended 😂
So far, so good with superglue. No failures yet. The superglued bit sits higher in the bible so shouldnt be subjected to strong force. I am planning on using epoxy next time to compare though.
@@Dmaclocksport cool i have the same one but i did drill out one of the smaller ones but i think i went a little to big i originally drilled it out to 2.5mm but was a little tight so i bored it out to 3mm which is to big so now i have to tighten it up to get it to bite.
This must be where I learned how to make these! Thank you! 🏴☠️🏴☠️
I finally broke down and bought a Dremel because of your videos.
Awesome! Have fun with it 😁👍🏻
I watched you pick the full rattler and had to see how they were made. Super cool idea. Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it. Nasty pins there! 😁👍🏻
Cool. They remained me of the Dom high security driver pins very tricky. Great idea.
Thanks. Ah so it was Dom I was thinking of 😉👍🏻
Awesome techniques! Perhaps you could use a nail when you part off your rings: put the tip through the hole and let the ring fall onto the nail.
Thanks for watching. Then nail would stop them flying off but, inserting it into the spinning pin could cause the nail to go flying off too!
Awesome video once again👍 Thanks for sharing. I'm definitely going to try making these.
Thanks! Great, I hope you do, lots of fun to make and to pick 😁👍🏻
You are inspiring me to get more machinery in my garage. These are great
Well, more machinery can only be a good thing, right? 😆👍🏻
Thank you for taking the time to show how to make these
You're very welcome, glad you enjoyed watching 🙏🏻
Wow!! Amazing job with that pin!! Hope your having a great weekend!!
Thanks, they are tricky buggars! 😁👍🏻

Thanks, they are slippery customers to pick! 😁👍🏻

Nice! I can see those being a fun addition to a challenge lock.
They are a PIA especially with a bit of deep countermilling 😭
Definitely easier than solder!👍
Indeed. It seems to hold up to picking well so far too but I might try epoxy next time just to be sure 😉👍🏻

Impressive as always! I'm finally going to try out pin making soon and your uploads are always helpful. Thanks!
Thanks for the lesson!
Nice solution with the glued "end cap"
Thanks, it seems to work so far. I might try epoxy next time also 😉👍🏻
I braze mine. Permanent
Very nice tutorial and those are really cool pins
Thanks. They can be tricky to pick too 👍🏻
Excellent !!!
Saw the pic you posted in the FB group and was intrigued. A serious deterrent to lock pickers,LOL.
Good job bud.
Many thanks 😁👍🏻
They csn be buggars to pick for sure
absolutely amazing!
Thanks buddy, much appreciated 😁👍🏻
Evil pin. Thanks for the information.
Thanks, they can cause many problems 😆👍🏻
Ah, so that's how you do that. Good idea and not too difficuly to make. I should try something like that when I make a next CL. It gives me plenty of evil ideas👍
Cheers mate, I'll look forward to seeing some of that evilness in person in day 😉👍🏻

Thanks, much appreciated 🙏🏻

Sure, I'd be interested to know. I've been toying with another idea myself actually. My email is indysigns@live.co.uk
I've just uploaded another method using a ball hammer which seemed to work well 👍🏻

Where did you get the pinning set from?
Also nice video
Thanks. The pinning kit is from southcoast locksmiths on ebay. 👍🏻
Thanks for sharing! I'm going to try the superglue, didn't have much luck with other methods so far...
Thanks.
Me neither! Epoxy might be stronger although superglue hasnt failed me yet. They certainly look neater with this method 😁👍🏻

I wouldn't be using strong force on anyone's CL they've built with custom pins, it's an unwritten rule man
Shudders
😆 they're not that bad. Er, thinking about it, actually, they are!
What size collet do you use in your Dremel?
Er, no idea! Its the only one that came with the dremmel when I bought it
@@Dmaclocksport cool i have the same one but i did drill out one of the smaller ones but i think i went a little to big i originally drilled it out to 2.5mm but was a little tight so i bored it out to 3mm which is to big so now i have to tighten it up to get it to bite.
Looks like too much work for me
They are lots of fun to make and a pain to pick in the right plug 😁👍🏻
