For something different...

and for your amusement. After trying to explain to the boy how a combination lock works, I decided to make one so he could see it for himself. The projects not finished, but this prototype works in all regards. Now I just need to design a safe to go with it.

From thought to working prototype in 24 hours. I love my CarveWrights!

Pretty kewl. Can you take some more pics of th innards if you get a chance?

[CarverJerry]

Yeah, thats really cool. Photo? How about a drawing to teach some of us 'ol farts.....that would make a very interesting project for the grandkids to take to school.

That's really neat, Doug! I have had a "Bank Safe" coin bank project on my to-do list for over 2 years now, but haven't done one yet. You may have inspired me to work it in my schedule after seeing your cool combination lock!

Thanks guys! Means a lot to hear what you think of it!

I would take pictures of the inside, but frankly I'm too embarrassed to. The double sided tape I used didn't stick very well, and the machine kinda chewed up the edges of a couple of the pieces. It works, but it's sure not pretty... sigh...

I'm going to make another one, not messed up, and I'll upload some photos of that one.

Showing kids how things work can be fun.
Good work

Very nicely done Doug,

You've explained something to the young one and inspired a few of us again on similar projects. We'll look forward to seeing your next version when you have it done. Thanks
