barrel key make from a bit key - Dutch furniture lock

In this video we are going to attempt to create a barrel key from a older large bit key I have (had that is, it seems to be last large diameter I had)
If you are a overseas distributor of these larger diameter keys and are willing to ship to the US please contact us at [e-mail] we will buy more than a handful and understand the issues shipping overseas :)

The troubleshooting and problem-solving is what I like the most out of locksmithing. I really enjoy these videos, Sir. 👊

[@hawkinscsa]

I love the old stuff! Great job!

[@tomwalta]

That was fun. Nice job doing the manual drill press impersonation.

[@lockeduplocksmith]

That there is the perfect example of "smith" in locksmith! It's great to see someone working by mot just plugging a computer into something.

I love the "old" stuff. Thank you it made my day!😊

[@DanburyDK]

Wow that was amazing work. I love keys like this and it was amazing watching you make your own. 😊

[@petezenner4938]

Can't you hear me screaming, "Drill Press! Drill Press!" 😂

[@selock]

@@petezenner4938 I heard it mentally from several as I was doing it one day I’ll get around to making a clamp rig for these keys

[@Phred_Phlintstoner]

Hey, im first! Lol, but seriously, i love watching you do "actual locksmithing", and having to come up with a solution to a problem! It helps me see things a little differently, and makes me a better locksmith. Thank you!

Never underestimate the power of the Klein Hammer

[@M.S.C-f6y]

Cool video! Never knew you could drill out the middle.

[@daveaedion]

As always nice work.

..."Jason did a thing"... wtg!! I got to cut a bit for my front door an old russwin.

[@mattoliverau]

Nice one Jason! Great job drilling that by hand, incredible!
I wonder if you had a blade that did splay wider, if would throw the bolt a little longer and so always fully open and close?

[@se032131]

You could try silica keys or de amsterdamse sleutelkluis( the Amsterdam key vault)

[@selock]

@@se032131 thanks for the lead I’ll look into them (Silca themselves being a mfg probably won’t sell directly to me so looking more for distributor type place. Many won’t ship overseas

I was yelling at the screen "you gonna use a center punch?" I might have even drilled a pilot hole since you don't have a drill press. I never have luck with something like that unless I do all the things by the book.

[@selock]

@@jmr I have a drill press :)

[@jmr]

@selock seems like that would have been a good time to use it unless you're just trying to show off.
