3 cutawats I made

I made these a little while ago and finally got around to taking some pictures. :)

The only one that I can't pick (without peaking) is that blasted Assa twin. :x
I think everyone that has tried to pick a fully loaded twin knows that they are evil.

Yes, I can pick the Primus. I have two Primus key in knob cylinders, this one and one that I haven't cut up. I can pick them both :D . But let's not be fooled, I'm not going to even consider saying that they are easy to pick. They aren't.

In time I hope to get more Primus cylinders to know if I can do them moderately consistently. I also know I will have a problem if it has shallow cuts in the back with deep cuts in the front, more so than on regular Schlages. The sidebar in these don't scare me anymore,...I have my techniques. Dealing with the regular pins is oddly much harder than a regular Schlage. I've read that this was the case but I didn't believe it until I tried to pick one.

It's true. My cutaways pale in comparison to Snowyboy's. We all have to start somewhere, and I don't make enough of them to justify buying a true milling machine.

As long as you get pleasure out of the locks you make it doesn't matter :)

One day you will see a mill being thrown out or at a garage sale and you'll be away!
