I turn a Stainless Bolt into a Combination Lock

In this video i'm turning a stainless steel bolt into a nice little combination lock.
I was always fascinated by those antique combination locks. I really like the design of them. A few weeks ago I bought one from eBay, but it turned out to be a cheap fake copy. I was really disapointed. Well if I can't buy one, then I make one myself. It was quite a challenge to get all the parts done and fit together, but the end result speaks for itself. I'm very happy how it turned out and I'm glad I made it.
I hope you like my work and the video.

Was interesting to see bar-stock being machined while being held in the chuck with a shim on one side, to give an off-center section.

@@TheRoadhammer379 I do CNC work, milling, drilling etc (aerospace parts) What this guy does is another level. I'm given a drawing to follow, it's easy, all this is coming out of his own mind. Almost Asian level (but I think he's Swiss)

[@SamMonkulas]

This guy’s accuracy is almost to a 100% in machining and maybe he makes blunders but the end product is near perfection. Plus his bare hands are always clean even while he handles filing - this is amazing mystery. I think he is from outer space or something like Anunaki tribe 😜😜🤣🤣😂😂

This is pure magic for me, I've no idea how it works even after he put all the pieces together. Still, 14 minutes and a half of calming magic!

Each of the wheels have a slot for the notched rod to go through. It can only go through when all the slots on the wheels are lined up. Since the numbering was put on each wheel with a different offset in relation to the slot, each wheel has a different number showing when it's in the correct position.

I don't know which to admire the most from you; either your industry and precision when hand working, or better yet your previous mental vision of what has to get done before you start working. Both are astonishing. Congratulations.

Thank you what a brilliant job,my grandfather gave me one of those combination locks when i was a boy, i still have it today,it must be well over 100 years old now........

He'll just stack the wheels in a different order.

Those wheels are pretty easy to swap out

Just take the snap ring off and reposition the number wheels and he will have a new combo number. Lol
