Offensive security nut job (you don’t *have* to be mad to work here, so I’m told 😝). Lock collector, and occasional locksport competitor. Appropriately obsessed with dogs…
A fortuitous place to end a roll of red filament - almost looks like I meant it - but as with everything else, a complete fluke! 🤣 The march to gridfinity’ise my filing cabinets and sort out my lock collection pushes ever onwards… one kg of PLA at a time… 😝 #3dprinting #gridfinity #sideproject 😝
Finally finished printing - and it’s subtle enough that I don’t think anyone will notice the colour change where I ran out of clear transparent filament and had to swap it… 😝🤣 Need to get on and print the pins/circlip and then work out what springs I need… #locksport #3dprint
Yup, mind blown. How can pictures off the Internet now be physical objects I can hold in my hand? Next step, need to learn some 3D modelling so I can start producing my own objects, rather than just using others’… #3dprinting
Many apologies, I’d planned to get some lock stuff done over the weekend and early this week, but then, I got somewhat distracted… 😎

Any guesses what these are? And what they're going to be for? Hint: it's a much requested physical security-related display at our village! Drop guesses down below 👇 #ekoparty #roadtoeko #physicalsecurity
I appreciate all of you who use the Alt-text description for the images you post. As a blind dude I feel so much more included here. For those of you who forget: Did you know there’s a reminder in Settings/Accessibility to toggle on & then it won’t let you post image without Alt-text. Thanks 🙏😎
When I went to bed last night, I was not expecting to awaken to snow… that’s going to make getting to the workshop interesting this morning. ❄️❄️❄️🤔 #WinterIsHere
A fun game of “which key goes in which lock” (after they got separated for transport). I am yet to play “where have the missing locks for these keys gone” - though given the current state of the house, they could be anywhere… 😝🤣 #locksport #lockcollector P.S. Hello to all the new folk. 👋
I think this padlock’s front spooled key pin may have been installed upside down by mistake… 🤣 #locksport #badlocksmithing 😝
Good weekend at BSides Bristol helping run the LPV. Forgot to take many pictures. Opened many locks. Met many cool people. Drank much coffee and hot chocolate. #locksport #learning #lockpickingchicken 🤣
Absolutely amazing video on Bramah. Criminal that it has so few views after so long online. Well worth a watch! #locksport #lockhistory youtu.be/dM9sBG-dbUo?...
Don’t think I’ve read this in a very long time (over two decades?). But I have an old combination padlock with a misplaced combination that needs opening, so thought it was time to refresh my memory… … and what’s that on the inside cover? The missing combination code! Thanks past me! 🤣 #locksport
Today’s light reading - Joseph Bramah’s 1785 dissertation on the construction of locks… #research #history #locksport (it’s also available online, if anyone wants to read it: en.m.wikisource.org/wiki/A_Disse... ).
The trouble with disassembling old locks… that, or I’m forgetting how strong I am in my old age… nah, I think it’s the steel… 😝🤣 #locksport #lockcollector
