So...I know that. And I shouldn't have said "have no connection to", that was absolutely false and just the frustration speaking. Mohandas was a name for my family and my dearest friends. As I got older, I got bolder about sh

I'm in the same boat. I actually didn't find out what my first name was until I was in 2nd grade and I saw my birth certificate for the first time. My parents named me "Mohandas" after Gandhi, but were concerned about th

Padlock thing a metaphor, or do you have a reference for that? If its a metaphor, my apologies, but that's actually happened before where governments mandated bypasses be built into locks produced in their country.

I love your pinning tray! Absolutely gorgeous. Nice work rolling your own, few things in this world are as satisfying as opening a lock with tools you made yourself.

Thanks for the kind words! Really appreciate it and always happy to bump into folks who know my work. My name on here comes from one of my 5 favorite locks, the Emhart interlocking pin system: http://www.lockwiki.com/index.p

Great question! Yes, there are a few locks that have hollow pins that the springs rest in. Typically they do that for space constraints, though, rather than to improve alignment. There's a great example whos name is escaping me at the

No problem :) They are really beautiful, complex systems, and as amazing as it is to understand and then manipulate them, I passionately believe that the real genius is holding them all together in your head before they've ever existed

Sorry to say, but what you are thinking is actually just wrong. Drop your mental model and adopt mine. You apply very light pressure to the wrench, which turns the plug, which collides with the weirdest pin out. There are circumstances in w

The reason we can pick locks is that there are many minute differences between the various internal objects. Pins may not be perfectly round, pin chambers may not be in alignment, etc. Small small differences, but when you apply a very ligh

It catches on the shelf of the pin chamber. Every time you set a pin, the plug actually rotates ever so slightly, misaligning the upper and lower pin chambers of whatever pin you were working on. The driver pin can't return to the lowe

Don't count out dogged historians. We spend a lot of our lives looking at material not quite relevant to our research in order to find that one gem that answers a question. That said, I am very pleased to read the other reply that ment

"PHP Sucks But I Didn't" is pretty hilarious, also knowing what the "most probable" is by year could be a great annual tradition. Did you check 2012 and 2011?

I don't want to overstep the bounds of a semi-anonymous comment thread, but some of the language you are using, and your choice of user name, has me concerned about your more immediate plans. In the course of a very public failure and

Scribble a pencil on a piece of paper for a while, fold it in half, blow the dust into the lock and run the key in and out a few times. Works like a charm.
