Invalid Key or in use or Missing File

Your download key for the requested file is invalid. Download keys are only valid for 48 hours. Once your download is complete, the key is no longer valid. Keys are also only valid for the original server. Additionally this error may be caused because the file was not found on the server.



Thats what i am getting :?

Nice job :)
Your keyed lock video is a bit dark though. A couple of questions;
Can you post pics of your shims?
Those locks looked pretty cheap, have you tried locks with higher tolerances yet? ie. locks with significantly less "wiggle" room.

Awesome videos.

Hmm.. back in my days I used the codename.

MasterHackerX

But nice file name HackerX/HackerX1337.

I now call myself Agent-X or MHX or Agent-MHX ever since I was in a computer chatroom and someone one day wanted to be MasterHackerX without me telling them about the name or advertising it.. odd.. but yeah.. i had to change names. That's why I have another alias. AND it's a dot com under one word.. plus it's my gmail. So that way I pwn all people trying to steal my names.. don't mind me ... i've had a drink of the good stuff. :D

I just got that bit of metal out from an old VHS of mine. Within 10 min I was getting my shim on. Took a fair bit of careful grinding to get it just right.

Also, I had read a post about putting the grinded shim metal onto a piece of soft wood, then placing a screwdriver or something about the same diameter as the lock over top of the shim piece. Then you can use a hammer to smack the screwdriver shaft and mold the shim to the right curve. I found that it also worked well to use a vice and a piece of wood in the same fashion. Just sandwich the shim between the screwdriver shaft or lock thingy (for lack of a better word) and a piece of wood and tighten the hell out of it. Anyway, it worked for me.
