Making a Brass Padlock - This will be a Challenge - Part 1

[@Vickie-Bligh]

Love this, Neil. As good as you are with both wood and metalwork, when you say "I'll give it a go" and "I'm having fun", you open up the world for us all. Thanks for this, mate. And I eagerly look forward to part 2.

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks very much Vickie - I reckon it's all about having fun! :)

This guy is probably the best craftsman I've ever seen, and when he says he's winging it I feel a lot better about my own fumbling.

Fantastic build so far! Looking forward to part 2, and of course, part 3, "Making a Scrapwood Padlock." :D

Episode based builds like this are great. Looking forward to the next instalment

Very much enjoy seeing a fusion of Pask Makes and Clickspring :) Looking forward to Pt 2. Congrats too on the recent rollover to 1M subscribers.

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks very much Dominic! :)

[@BadYossa]

I was thinking along similar lines.

[@JustJimWillDo]

And then we can bring the lock-picking lawyer in at the end.

[@larrybud]

Pask should make Clickspring's vice.

[@MoYvStarkey]

I'm so impressed with this build. Absolutely gorgeous. So much confidence. Dang!

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks very much Maurine! Although I'm not sure about the confidence, there's still a lot that can go wrong. :)

[@joachimgrek6920]

@@PaskMakes Solving what goes wrong and seeing the good result is one of interesting things! I think you will do a great job as always!!! 😉

[@stevenpercy4172]

Mate, this brings back some great memories for me, I did my apprenticeship as a car mechanic back in in the 70’s and there was an old Indian guy that worked there he used to make padlocks in his break times out of scrap that he found in the welding shop they were works of art, some of them would have 2 keyholes and if you chose the wrong one a blank .22 cartridge would go off and make you shit yourself he was a real craftsman

[@corinkayaker]

This is brilliant Neil! So much detail work and I am LOCKED in for part two. I think actually it will be the KEY to your success.

[@darktherapy]

Puns like that, you should be under lock and key.

Single episode, or multi-part, your content is informative, interesting and a joy to watch... whatever format best suits your times. Just so long as you keep producing please

[@sddiymakeitworthit7512]

Beautiful workpiece waiting for next…..

[@glynprice3815]

Excellent. Your capacity for new ideas is always amazing Mr P. BTW 1 million subscribers. Well done

[@dnngskn62]

Bravo, glad to see you stretching the envelope more and more. Waiting on part two.

[@roostercogburn7099]

I was so captivated by the video that I was almost disappointed when it stopped... Can't wait for part 2, so much talent and precision fascinates me. Thank you for sharing.

[@PaskMakes]

Glad you enjoyed it - part 2 shouldn't be too far away! :)

[@danielberkley3771]

I am such a huge fan of yours. It was you, more than anyone else, that inspired me to start woodworking, and I have really enjoyed your journey towards greater focus on metal work. That said, I would love to see you make more 'beautiful things' as well as pursuing projects that expand your skills. There are so few online that have your talents in both metal and wood work that I would love to see the furniture you could build mixing both crafts.

[@tomnorman5461]

Although multi-part videos are probably good for return "customers", I usually make sure all parts are posted prior to viewing because I dislike getting interested and then "no return". Your videos are awesome, thanks for all the work you put into them!

[@samanthadean1083]

Love this idea!!! I can hardly wait to see Part 2!!!

[@JimG31547]

A great job to this point. Can't wait to see how well the lock will work. I have no problem with multi part video projects.

[@wakeupamerica2971]

I don't mind the 2 part videos. We usually get more detail about the build that way. Thanks as always for taking us along!

[@VanDerPol]

Your attention to detail and your patience is as superhuman as always!

[@ChrissiX]

I like the multipart idea, makes it easier to consume the longer content. And I don't want to miss the detail.

[@mhpjii]

Neil, we _so_ much appreciate your talents and professional, happy manner. Always a delight!

[@PaskMakes]

Thank you! :)

[@brindmusicnerd]

100% OK with multi-part videos 😁 This is clearly a lot of work, and I like seeing the details, so spreading it over several videos just makes sense 👍

[@corinkayaker]

This is brilliant Neil! So much detail work and I am locked in for part two. I think actually it will be the key to your success.

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks mate and thanks for your advice, I appreciate it. :)

[@katarzynazofia]

"I'm having fun and it may just work" what a great approach! I've been doing that too with sime things, I can recommend this attitude 🤗

[@HazItMade]

Always a pleasure to watch you work. Everyone always wants to say, "Jack of all trades and master of none", but the full saying is, "A Jack-of-all-trades is a master of none, but still always better than a master of one!" This describes me, and I think, you as well. To me, it should be, "To try, and do "okay" at many things is more useful in life than mastering only one thing!" Namaste, mate!

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks Mark! I just enjoy trying new ideas and projects instead of the same thing over and over. :)

[@larrybud]

Thank you for keeping the machine sounds in the video! I also live by the "I'll give it a go" mentality. It's one of the best ways to learn.

[@reecec626]

I love a multi-part journey!

[@BradnBunji]

I am amazed repeatedly at the way that you tackle an issue and find a solution. Im hooked on your Chanel. You do make some wonderful things. Once completed, it will look stunning. I agree with others, make a wooden one that can be a double sized working padlock to go on the wall with the propeller. Keep up the brilliant work Neil.

[@corinkayaker]

Such a cool idea!

[@byOldHand]

Neil I loved this challenge ⚙️🛠 gorgeous work and beautiful shot. Thank you for sharing , you made my sunday night ⭐️⭐️👍🏻👍🏻

[@Dwayne_Bearup]

I like that, "It doesn't have to be super precise..." and then you proceed to make it super precise 😁

[@johncarter9067]

Neil watching and listening to you has given me the confidence to try anything I love your saying I'll give it a go

[@kzookid2051]

Wow. I love watching your videos, regardless of what you're making. Some of the projects are ones I'll try, some I use for ideas, and some I'll never even dream of making, but they're all fascinating. Whether the video is short, long, single or a series, I'm watching, learning and enjoying. Thanks.

[@imbe.]

Uuuuu! Another project series! I can hardly wait for next episode :) Good to see youtube popped you on my feed!

[@HandyManDan723]

Whether it's multi part or long format, you do you. I know I will enjoy it either way.

[@BenButler1]

Looks great. Impressed with how the solder came out

[@corinkayaker]

He did a cracking job particularly for a first attenpt

[@robertbamford8266]

Quite a contrast with wall-display propellor and gears! Looking forward to the next part(s).

[@andrewmenees9547]

Wonderful project! For cleaning intricate pieces, you might investigate ultrasonic cleaning. You can build a simple cavitation tank with an ultrasonic transducer, ideal for cleaning parts with crevices, blind holes, etc. where brushing/scrubbing would otherwise not reach. I love your channel; keep up the great work and content!

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks Andrew - I do use an ultrasonic cleaner and will probably use it at some point in this project. I don't think it would've removed the flux though but I'll try it next time I solder. :)

[@tummy_fritters]

"I'm having fun and it may just work." That's the perfect attitude for a maker.

[@pjhalchemy]

Outstanding Neil. Loved all your setups and marking methods, like using the 123 block for marking...I've put that into the brain for future use! Always a treat to see you tackle new projects with such aplomb. Looking forward to the next installment! Thanks always for what you bring to the community!

[@charlestyndall1919]

Not keen on multi parters but gives us something to look forward to. Great job so far.

Looking forward to part 2 or more. I think it is good to break up a video with so much detail.

Love this build and I really like the multi part video idea!

[@CzaDevian]

I like the episodic approach, great content as always, keep it up!

[@KubedPixel]

LOVING IT! I like multi part videos as it's easier to digest and focus on rather than 40min-2 hour videos. And leaves me wanting more and excitement for the next video

[@Berqist]

Brass is the most beautiful, elegant metal, and pleasing to the touch. Perfect choice for a bespoke padlock.

Always love the videos anyway you can get them out easiest. Multi-part videos dont bother me but I do prefer when substantial progress is made, like this video

[@negotiableaffections]

God level, Neil. That is superb! Now....between the fiddly little bits here and the giant cogs on the wall.....I see a pocket watch in your future. I prefer all in one videos but its no real inconvenience and understandable (given the platform) but please UPLOAD PART TWO ASAP!!

[@markhedquist9597]

Awesome. This is totally awesome. I really like how you work. Even though you may not be completely proficient in one aspect of the build, you go right on ahead and do it. It's the only way to get better at something, by just doing it. Can't wait for the next installment.

[@georgecunningham9175]

Once again, you impress, amuse and amaze................though I usually dislike multi-part videos, but as I watch ANYTHING and EVERYTHING you release, it not like a multi-part video - its like "I know I'll stopping by the shop next week, so I'll see it then". Though the anticipation can make me a little inpatient!

[@Ebikelover]

You are no slouch at machining Mate, its looking really good so far. Looking forward to part 2

This is right up my alley.. Great work. Thanks for the inspiration !

Definitely prefer longer-format single vids in general, but I'm excited to see the next instalment!

[@zTribalstylerz]

If two part videos means we get videos sooner then I'm all for it! 😁

[@mbeat28]

Looks awesome so far Neil. Your patience for extremely fiddly work is otherworldly. I wonder if the Dalai Lama calls you for life advice!

[@RazzlePhoxx]

i like the episodic build format, it lets you get nice and detailed but keeps each part short enough to watch without it being a whole tv program

[@RazzlePhoxx]

that being said a compilation or playlist at the end so we can binge it if we missed it as it releases is good too

[@henryworkswoodandmetal]

Very cool project, really enjoy it 👍👍👍

[@nick1bb1]

Hi Neil, It was a quick 15 mins and really engaging as usual. If it was 30 mins I might have decided to put off watching until i had more time, so a series idea is great. This will be the sort of series that future viewers will binge. 🍿🎯 spot on.

[@Maker-G]

So dope! I find with soldering, there is a chance of too much flux and my rule of thumb with solder is “well enough to add more, though you’d darn yourself for wanting less” …for not much experience I believe the hammer met the nail’s head, well done sir and thank you for your enthusiasm!!!

[@bradthayer6782]

Excellent work especially for your first time making something like this. Multi-part for something like this is just fine. Your mate at Clickspring would be proud.
