(840) Gilbert V's Incredible Pins!

[@gilbertv4167]

Thank u Bill glad u liked it..u did a great job at picking it.. she was not going down without a fight what a battle....

[@pandiem]

+Gilbert V Amazing job, care to explain how you crafted those floating pins? Must have taken forever to make.

[@gilbertv4167]

+Penguinox thank u... all I used was a Dremel tool and cheap needle files..That's it. just a Steady Hand and a good eye... it took a good 10 + hours to make start to finish

[@christopherdonald9001]

+Penguinox I may be wrong, but it looks like he made the T-pin in two parts. The serrated sleeve(s) slides onto the pin and the top is pressed on. If you look carefully at the top of the pin at 20:53 you can see a dark ring (the break between the two pieces) where it looks like it has been press fit onto the pin.

[@gilbertv4167]

+Christopher Donald ...correct

[@pandiem]

Christopher Donald Yup, I figured that was the only way.

[@x3wildcard]

Gilbert must be some 5th generation craftsman from a watch making family or something. Good show.

[@robcape]

THAT LITTLE HAIR IS DRIVING ME INSANE!!!!!

[@Kim.Eriksson]

+Rob Cape Yea couldnt watch it cuz of that :/

[@audiogamer]

+Rob Cape had to put a little hair around the hole

[@SgtKOnyx]

There was a hair? I have cats too. You just faze it out.

[@vincentmchugh2814]

Gilbert, I take my hat off to you. That lock deserves it's place in a Lock Art Gallery!

[@jmarriottc]

I'm in awe of that lock, the craftsmanship and creativity are unbelievable. Floating serrations on a spool, freaking genius! Honestly Bill you are the master, I could only have gotten that lock open with det cord and you sir did it with a pick in 15 minutes no less.

[@mtkoslowski]

Bosnian Bill is the sort of kindly neighbor I would love to have living in my street.

[@daisyruin]

This is the type of thing that a jeweler, a master craftsman at that, can do in metal. I stand dumbfounded in awe at what could have been renaissance artwork, instead turned into an engineering marvel. Bravo, and nice picking.

[@raincoast2396]

Floating serrated rings around the spool pins, with serrated nested pin heads and threaded/undercut pin chambers in both cylinder and bible! Many hours of craftsmanship connected to a mind of puzzling proportions! Well done. This lock is top of the game. Okay. Who can top that? Get ready Bill - more occupants for the naughty bucket!

[@imdrunken]

I just sent a few of my first in and this makes mine look like child's play. ...but don't worry, hopefully by the time he has mine picked I'll have a few more ready. I'm consulting the aliens now. ...

[@DonzLockz]

Gotta be the be set of pins I've ever seen! What a masterpiece! Hats off to Gilz...and for the pickin ;)

[@sabbathz]

You know you had some great pinning when it takes him almost 15 minutes to unlock it! Great lock! Gilbert has to be one of the most talented I have seen yet!

[@SoundsFantastic]

+sabbathz What about the one that took him over 4 days? And also the ones he hasn't picked yet left in the naughty bucket?

[@sabbathz]

SoundsFantastic Uhm, ok.....Sorry i didn't mention those..

[@davidparsons9167]

Had more time than just 15 min if it was in the dirty bucket.

[@OldKnifeGuy]

Absolutely incredible effort by Gilbert and a masterful job of picking that beast, well done!!

[@smartin23964]

Unreal! Worth the time I spent watching! Hats off to Gilbert. Awesome craftsmanship.

[@forteandblues]

That might be one of my favorite pinnings. Wow. Idk how he even made those.

[@GenericAnimeBoy]

That was worth the 22 minutes to watch. Absolutely amazing craftsmanship on the pins!

[@reverenddak]

holy crap! I can't believe that was picked at all.

[@stephenjohnson4922]

Congratulations Gilbrt!!! I remember when you first started doing this and you never give up your dream again congratulations brother!!! 😎👍👍👍👍👍

[@gvsupermorphs4978]

thanks brotha

[@maxgoodrich8520]

NOW THAT IS A LOCK I'D TRUST MY LIFE WITH! AMAZING!

[@LogicBob]

Wow! That is amazing! I wonder if it is frustrating for Gilbert to put all that work into those locks and then not see any of the failure videos! Its a good thing Bill is as good as he is or none of us would get to see that work of art!

[@ayrsen123]

Two guys that really know their stuff, pitted against each other!!. What more can you ask for. Great job Bill and Gilbert!!!

[@AKJeeper]

Wow those pins are just downright awesome! I wonder how Gilbert made those pins and how he did such a beautiful job undercutting those chambers? Amazing!

[@bosnianbill]

+AKJeeper You did a pretty tricky job yourself on that Abus core! Finally got it open tonight after a 2-day struggle. Not likely I'll ever catch this one on video, but wanted you to know it was a fight until the end. I did gut it afterwards to see what the heck you did. I KNEW it was all threaded inside from the feel, but did NOT expect to find a piece of screw. THAT was really nasty!

[@FluffRat]

I'd guess the undercut was done on a milling machine with a very small keyseat cutter, but it's going to be a bit touchy that far down a hole.

[@AKJeeper]

bosnianbill Wow! Didn't think my modifications would make that Abus into a 2 day pick for you! Funny story on the screw...when reassembling the core, I dropped the original key pin and lost it. Looked through my parts bins and found computer screws of similar diameter. Made one into a key pin and was surprised the key still worked smoothly in the core.

[@allyftw]

I am thinking that he used a metal 3D printer.

[@TheObsesedAnimeFreaks]

i was thinking either the pings are welded together after the rings are inserted, OR the tops screw on...

[@r3nmgod]

What amazing pins. Can't imagine the time and effort put into that.

[@craignicholson505]

holly amazing What a lock that man built

[@AccurateProperty]

Hats off for the time and effort in making that lock for us all to enjoy Bill cracking it.

[@tonyholt90]

wow the engineering involved in that lock hours and hours impressive!! and you actually picked it, WOW. well done!!

[@pvccannon1966]

U have a new sub sir, I am a component level trouble shooter for electronics, and i found myself rooting for u during the process. I can see the same pleasure on defeating a lock that i would get finding that one component that was eluding me for hours to fix a circuit. YEA I FOUND U! love the challenge. I might have to try locks for my high now that every thing is just board switching. Good luck on your next challenge.

[@Mister6]

Wow! The most amazing thing was how smooth the lock functions despite all the evil technology contained within!

[@cryptomnesiac]

insane craftsmanship. congrats gilbert and bill for opening it, lol

[@josuelservin2409]

Impressive piece of workmanship, what an amazing lock!

[@soul2blade]

wow now that is a masterpiece! great job bill. and hats off to you gilbert

[@SlickFungi420]

OK.. First of all, you never cease to amaze me, you never have! in the several years that I have been following you, you have seriously given me a desire to be the best in everything I do.. but this, this is a new level of Awesome.. I'm blown away that you picked that lock in 15 minutes. my hat is off to you as always.. but in this instance I bow as well... bosnianbill... the Grand Master of locks everywhere.. Now, to mention the unbelievable amount of skill and craftsmanship that went into the engineering and crafting of those pins! Bravo to that man as well! simply genius! great video Bill.. Thanks 😊

[@RushCampAndPrep]

what an incredible lock, and what an incredible effort that went into making it. i am in awe of the sliding serrations, what an idea, and the 2 piece key pins. oh my.

[@zcxashleyjewell2252]

Wow! beautiful custom pick, a lock from the naughty bucket, the most amazing pins I've ever seen. 800 videos in and this is my favorite one to date. Great video Mr. bill. One of your best.

[@TheUniquePlumberman]

Very, very intense lock! Well done! Gilbert should be a foremost advisory on lock pinning. Bill, once again you are the master!

[@CrimFerret]

The time it took to do those pins is insane. Gilbert has mad machining skill. It also shows how skilled you are. I doubt there are very many people who'd have been able to pick that at all, much less in 15 minutes live on camera.

[@jarekdesign1]

I'm in shock, this is an artistic work with these pins. 👍

[@pmcKANE]

Superb engineering right there. Top-tier master craftsmanship. It's a straight up pleasure to see that.

[@fotmasta]

Hats off to Gilbert V.

[@butterylabs]

Glibert - that was amazing! .. those pins are a work of art.

[@p.richter9592]

Ahhh, the suspense. I was glued to the screen during the whole video. Quite unbelievable that a lock picking video can be that exciting. And what a masterpiece of a lock, and how exciting to see it getting picked. Great video 👍🏻👍🏻

[@tazbig]

as a machinist of small parts my hats off to you sir.

[@dragthatsht]

+bosnianbill, when you got that false set you sounded like a new man. The shot of adrenaline it gave you was clear as day. It's one of the reasons you have such a big following. Even after all the time you have in to this hobby, you clearly still enjoy it. Thank you for everything you do.

[@dragthatsht]

Also, holy hell Gilbert! With work like how to have time to support yourself? I guess an artist does it for the love.

[@Lucassymons]

those pins look amazing!! puts floating serrations in a high tolerance lock. I like this guy!

[@williamharriss3363]

You sir are truly a master to have cracked this monster. What a nasty design!

[@MikeK68]

Wow. Super lock with incredible pins. very beautiful demonstation Bill.

[@choochoochooseyou]

Fantastic job, Gilbert, but huge kudos to you, Bill, for getting in that thing.

[@steelfabric]

Wow. Amazing work on the pins, and well picked.

[@moik145]

That was Awesome picking Bill!! Outstanding craftsmanship on the lock as well!!!

[@SpiderMan-ik5ck]

Damn!! Gilbert is a craftsman god! My Spider-Man's mask off to you buddy! Amazing!

[@timturner7609]

could you do this lock again with other attacks? I'd love to see how well a lock that holds so well against spp would fare against other methods. raking, bumping, impressioning, etc

[@FG-Supercharged]

+tim turner I like your thinking...

[@FG-Supercharged]

+tim turner I like your thinking...

[@xidarian]

+tim turner I really wanna see if those 2 piece key pins effectively prevent bumping, I would think that they would separate when bumping to make sure it over sets.

[@gilbertv4167]

+Sam A raking and bumping The Lock with the key pins will lock up the lock ...won't get no were I've already tested it...

[@BrokenRRT]

+Gilbert V nice craftsmanship on the lock!

[@dsimmons6522]

I dont know what to say other than WOW! Simply amazing pins! Great job on that one Bill.

[@michaelblalock5695]

I want Gilbert to pin all of my home locks. What an ultimate craftsman and beyond belief skilled person it took to do this. Lock-Lab hall of fame lock!

[@halldor89]

Wow... I'd like to see the making of video of this lock.

[@MagisterMalleus]

That's a work of art :o hats off.

[@bryandavison2180]

The floating serration top pins, are insane. I've never seen those before. I would love to hear where he got them or how he made them.

[@PatrickRehkopf]

sorry for 22 minutes? enjoyed every second!

[@omerta99z19]

wow people are awesome. that is pure talent to make pins like that

[@Benjiboy1962]

What a cool lock :) Well done to the guy who made it and to you for picking it :)

[@Zombieslag]

That is utterly insane! How would you even machine those floating pins at that size? I've seen things 3d printed like that but always out of filament, never seen anything metal like that. Amazing!

[@danielsnyder5796]

+Rob Weeks If you take a close look at the floating pins, one end of the actual pin is much thicker than the other. My guess is he machined the actual pin open ended and then either press fit or crimped the thick end on. You can see a little gap between them if you watch the close ups in slow motion :) Incredible machine work

[@Zombieslag]

Daniel Snyder Holy crap you're right! Wow. That is very impressive.

[@jarrodsharp2574]

Absolutely a beautiful design. I would think a Dremel with a micro 1/64" or smaller bit, and a bit of brass soldering with a very steady hand is the only feasibly imaginable way to do this. Fantastic!!!!

[@waxore1142]

the floating serrated and seperating pins are brilliant. Im amazed you picked it.

[@Zimco]

For those who are wondering how the pins are made, it looks like what he did was take a T pin, then made the "sleeves" and put them on there. Once that is done he took a disk and drilled a hole part way thru with the diameter of the small part of the T pin and then either press fitted or glued it in place. If you look carefully when Bill shows the pins, you can notice a slight edge between the end and the center shaft so I'm quite sure that's how he did it. Really great design there :)

[@newfdogg]

Bill I've never seen you want to open up a lock so fast after you picked it, excellent video, Unreal pin's, excellent job Gilbert V !! ;)

[@kennethdangelo5777]

Gilbert makes such amazing locks!! I want one of his locks so bad! I just want to put it on a pedestal in my lock collection.

[@Neffers_UK]

...Wow. That is some world class artisan sh*t right there. I'm totally dumbfounded. I even made the wife look at the pins on this thing. Gilbert is an evil genius. Well done on the pick Bill. That new custom pick has just become the most wanted. Here's hoping you can empty your naughty bucket with it.

[@mediocrefunkybeat]

Wow. That is a phenomenal lock.

[@martyhastings9347]

Wow!!! Just came across this video while watching your latest. What a lock! What a pick! i don't think there is any way i could come close to picking something like that. i don't think i could even practice to pick a lock like that......bosnianbill, that was brilliant! thanks.

[@FG-Supercharged]

Wow! A thing of beauty, "Gilbert V"! Well done, just awesome mate! Such creation genius and mechanical talent!!! Oh, and hat's off to "bosnianbill" for finally "cracking" it... I wonder if he feels he was lucky to have cracked it, it was skill, or it was the pick in the end...?

[@Taco_Syndicate]

The struggle is real 👊🏻 awesome video all the way around Bill! Those pins though...

[@tmbatema]

Awesome pinning! i would like to see a video on making those pins. Even a long one!

[@FG-Supercharged]

+Tom Bateman Damn straight there! Would be quite interesting of the effort and thinking involved.

[@RambozoClown]

Those pins are just insane. Your new pick sure earned it's keep on this one.

[@TheUserid82]

Have you thought about putting matched marks on the locks to show movements better on camera? Even a sharpie can be erased later by redrawing over the mark to use its own solvent to rewet it.

[@glenthemann]

+Andrew H you blind? its incredibly obvious

[@TheUserid82]

Полиграфович Why yes I am partially blind. Thank you for asking. Just watching the core + wrench is not obvious on every lock. All movements are important but what is a pin and what is the wrench slipping? Known marks that cant shift unless the core itself turns help to show all movements.

[@adroc9841]

I haven't seen you struggle like that in a long time. Good Job!

[@Aaron48219]

As a former machinist, this is a beautiful, yet sadistic, lock!

[@andrebedard1816]

Bravo to both of you. Gilbert to create that challenge and Bill to overcome it

[@unsaltedskies]

This video should have more views as it really was a stunning lock.

[@jurczak1]

Thanks for the video, Bill. I just bought my first picks and some training locks because of your videos. Thanks, again.

[@Carvanez3006]

Gorgeous work to you Gilbert and fantastic picking Bill!!

[@jknelson281]

Wow! What great pins!! Awesome lock and great pick!

[@jimforsyth2.]

bill I'm new to this and I only do it as a hobby. but I love you video's/reviews I bought my first pic set from a review so a 20 min video is fantastic . even my oldest boy has a kit now and we search out free locks to pick. thanks for the inspiration

[@crumplezone1]

I`d still be picking that Gilbert special in another life !, awesome manufacturing and picking skillz guys

[@SublimatedIce]

Awesome job whoever did this!

[@robforeman3450]

Wow! amazing pins! Also great picking Bill B-)

[@stephenskidmore8526]

Awesome picking and one incredible lock, I wish I had a small fraction of the skill of Bill or Gilbert, great job both of you. Gilbert I hope you are paid very well by a locksmith somewhere. Hat off to you sir. Bill I am amazed you managed to pick that.

[@lostandfound1004]

That was a epic battle! Props to the both of you. Amazing craftsman ship and amazing picking .

[@THR33STEP]

Why the hell would you apologize for the long video?? This lock is a work of art!!!

[@petemartin5487]

Wow! I wonder how he did those floating pins. Amazing. Hope he has a patent pending.

[@ForSquirel]

I recently fell in love with my DeForest after realizing how useful it is. And to think I've spent these past years using 1 pick on everything.

[@jerrydoyle5622]

holy crap!! some of the best pins ive seen! wow!! Gilbert u might be a genius!

[@gvsupermorphs4978]

thank u

[@VideoNOLA]

It would be fun if viewers could be presented with a little, animated "thought balloon" in which all the pins get updated with your mental perceptions. They might start with 5 standard pins, then get "updated" in real time to "spools" or other security pin types as you're talking. They could even be shown in whatever "picked" or "hung up" position you imagine them to be in. Such an illustration could even highlight the major "clicks" and "counterrotations" you experience. Not every video, but a long one like this might be very instructive when done more visually.

[@rjperkins365]

unbelievable that must of been his pride and joy when he made it. if he made any togher then that I don't see anyone getting into it. something with similar pins and machining on book but a sliding sleeve on the core with the threading and counter milling

[@Steamrick]

At 20:53 you can see that there's a gap between the head of the pin and the shaft. I guess he made a T, threaded the loose parts on and then soldered the head part on top. Very fiddly.

[@Pdro-gw7lu]

Dear god.... The workmanship is fantastic, great job Gilbert!!! A suggestion Bill, maybe you could announce your hardest/best challenge lock of the year each year. This is already a clear contestant. What do you think?

[@thumperlockpicking9269]

What a awesome pick,with great pins, Really nicely done Mr. Bill

[@redcatimaging]

That is truly pin porn at it's best - what a great job from Gilbert. These floating serrations and pin in pin look incredibly nice. And well done Bill too. This lock in 15 minutes to pick is nothing what you would expect once you have seen the pins and effort he has put into the lock. Hard to ever beat this lock art :).

[@HeyItsCoates]

I can see Bill is using the case made out of bunker towels

[@macnutz4206]

Is that a challenge lock you send to someone you don't care for? :) By the time you got it, I just had to see the insides of the beast. I am glad you kept describing what you were doing and feeling from the lock. It was informative. Now wonder Gilbert didn't care if you saw the key ahead of time.

[@SupremeChimp]

That is the most disgusting piece of work I've ever seen. I can't imagine how much time it took to create that monster. That lock deserves a name and a wikipedia page.

[@bikkies]

I'm a newbie to all this, your video was painful enough to watch, heaven only knows how much torture it was to actually pick it. Once disassembled, the handiwork and precision that went into its construction left me in awe. Maybe I picked the wrong hobby and should stick with something simple, perhaps designing a probe to fly into the sun. Must be easier than this stuff! Hats off from a Brit to you, to the maker of that amazing pick, and to the astounding craftsman who created this instrument of torture.

[@gilbertodiaz-castro626]

WOW!!! Did he ever share how he made those pins??

[@MajWinters100]

Now THAT is a challenge lock. Thanks for the amazing video. I don't mind the 15 minutes since it was a challenge lock, indeed. Also, for those who mind the time, just skip to the end of the picking
