The wolfman? The werewolf? canis lupus is latin for wolf at least.

Yeah, could be, but I can't remember you made any kind of offer in this thread.

, it's fun to explore and reverse-engineer raimundo#s thoughts. We can be glad we got a straight-forward guide on the Bogota design. Imagine he would be presenting this to us in riddles. "make a rake as long as a key but file a lady's bosom countour in them and then drink too much coffee before using". :D

Actually, the pins within pins are not revealed on factory MtL cutaways, only the HUGE cutaways. There is no real way to reveal the pins inside the pins, because the pins are allowed to rotate freely in their chambers.

I guess you could cut 4 slots into the outer pins, this could allow viewing of the inner pin to some degree, even if the pins do spin. Without the right tools, it'd be hard to make it look good though.
