Squelchtone's workbench

Information about locks themselves. Questions, tips and lock diagram information should be posted here.

Squelchtone's workbench

Postby Squelchtone » 22 Jun 2007 1:23

Motivated by recent photos of Schuyler's and n2oah's collections, I sorted my locks and took all non lockpicking related items off my workbench. I have to say it looks great and now I have room to take locks apart without invading my living room coffee table!

Close-ups of all the locks for anyone interested, will be taken in the near future; for tonight, you get a wide shot of my workbench.

Enjoy,

Squelchtone

What a great collection of locks, and a really nicely lit place to work. Nice set up.

Wow that looks way better than what I have. I would post a pic but I don't have a camera and mines is such a mess I'm a bit ashamed to show it. And I like your peg board with the padlocks. I just hang key blanks off of mines since I just use my bench for mostly key cutting and messy jobs. My computer desk is where I have my picking station set up.
If a lock is a puzzle, then its key is the complete picture

I see that you tested the master locks against bullets, what caliber?

[quote="UWSDWF"]i see toool test locks!!!!

I'm actually VERY glad you took that photo at Schuylers because we're missing the one marked T10 which I see right there in the photo. Now we know its a silver long cylinder, I was thinking it was a half-cylinder like the T11 and T12.


Shoes.. look around, I don't think I have it :-(

That's funny, it's actually the "Tough under Fire" sticker showing a Master lock getting shot.

but man, you've got an eye...

That's a very nice work space there. Everything white makes it look clean and inviting.

Boy, do I have some work to do on mine... :)
