That was an epic battle lol. This was great to watch, and I love how you showed the pins and core. I couldnt help but think how rough those pins looked though lol, but I guess for the third ever set of pins they arent too bad. My more recent work is a lot cleaner. I think I was using a dremel still at that point and it was kind of lopsided lol. Since then I started using a drill which is much more stable. Ive got one that Im working on that Im a bit hesitant to send out. Its frustratingly difficult and i dont want people to hate me Lol. I dont think Ive ever gotten more than 2 pins set, and its 6 pins... I was honestly thinking, if it gets sent out, Id do a competition. If someone can get it open, they win a prize. Petersons gift card or something. I just want to spend a little more time with it though and see if I can get stupid lucky and get it open. The way you have to tension it makes you want to shoot yourself though lol.

I am sure someone out there would be up for the challenge but it wouldn't be me, lol. Thank you for the kind words. I like adding the images in but it does take a lot of time to edit out the background one by one. I look forward to seeing A.J. Clark's attempt once I get the lock over to him

Well no wonder why this lock give you a fight, it's amazing that you got it open with all those home made security pins in the core and bible as well as the bible and core being threaded. With all the counter rotation back and fourth, wow, I was wondering what was inside it. Great job picking and good job with the video!

I truly do love watching you and what you do it is of great interest to me for no other reason other than the puzzle Factor and I'm glad that your channel exists myself I am competent in getting most basic locks open if necessary without damaging them but my wrist and hands make it nearly impossible to even comprehend the level of picking that you do because of the damage I have done to myself from years of mechanic work and hard labour..

@@HelpfulLockPicker Nobody cares about the Kronos anymore. It has been disussed too many times on other channels. You are in your speaking element when you are doing videos like this one. Use changes in intonation when speaking. Your robot pattern of speech is harsh. It sounds lije you are reading from a script. And if you are, that's the difference between knowing and authentic learning. Stop watching other channels and develop your own style too. Make them watch you. I like the way you were honest about your off camera practice too. I don't like rehearsal picking where only the successful "opens" are uploaded. An honest person would get my subscription.
