How much for your locks???? I am going to start saving my cans and bottles to start purchasing your locks... I want to make a shadowbox with all of your artwork!

I really have a problem picking the Best 7 pin cores so when I do come up with enough money to afford one I would like to get a Best lock.

My wife came up with the idea of the shadowbox, She loves the locks! Awesome work..

I was very excited at the post office and took a pic the second I got back in the Jeep.

sorry for the potato cell phone out of focus quality, it really doesn't do the locks justice.

It's now dark and rainy here, I hope to take some nice photos on the deck when the sun comes back out.

Thank you very much L0ckcr4ck3r, I really like the personalized dog tag as well!

I'm glad you scored yourself a red 1100! I know you loved the one I picked up a little while back :)

These cutaways are better then any factory cutaway in my collection, hands down.

Wow, those are simply awesome, I agree with Squelch, factory cutaways don't hold a candle to yours!

Same here, I got mine today, it's perfect.
I cut locks myself, and while I'm somewhat proud of the cutaway Fichet F3D I made,
I have to say that this padlock from L0ckcr4ck3r has the most beautiful cuts in my collection.

Cheers

Glad you liked it and hope the Engraving was what you were after!

I really am grateful for for all the feedback, photos and endorsements of these cutaways. I've been busy with a few other things recently buy more designs are on their way.

If you see anything you like here or any future designs, just shoot me an email and i'll sort you out with what you are after. Thanks so much for the support and purchases!!

Wow man, that's beautiful. I wonder if ABUS checks this forum, their engineers are probably setting your photo as their wallpaper right now!

Couldn't have said it better myself. :mrgreen:

L0ckr4ck3r do you have a compilation album of all your cutaways? I have saved all the ones you have put up so far. Absolutely amazing. I now have access to a mill and would like to study your art to see if I could make something remotely similar. :D
