Love the video my friend man i. Learned a lot from this one,, you have a very unique style thanks for great 😎

Very much a skilled artisan. Can't help thinking how many blanks that might have taken some of us.

I bet Jason can make a key with a gas power demolition concrete saw! I use a small 90 degree boroscop to take a look at the levers .Good job.

that jet does sound like your grinder! maybe set it on an old towel or mat to dampen sound traveling thru the table, great vid, too!

I love it every time you bring an old lock back to life! Skill and appreciation seem like necessary components to making that happen. As always, huge thanks for sharing this with us!! These are some of my favorite videos by you and these are what got me loving your channel all those months ago... #badass #lockforce

I work on pianos and fool around with various devices in my spare time and your video is a perfect example of what I find lacking, no, better to say what I find missing, in the world generally now. The over arching component of your craftsmanship is the all critical skill called patience, and anymore I don’t see young people taking time to examine something, like an antique lock, closely and carefully and testing ideas and coming up with solutions for the myriad gadgets and appliances and things that inevitably break down in everyone’s lives. The throw away habit is piling up (landfills) while many resources shrunk. I should add that I certainly lack skills with software and electronics related to the current technological environment, so I’m no Mr Know It All, that’s certain. Point is, basic hand tool thinking and practice is under valued imo and if/when the grid goes down the modern world may find itself in dire need of people with the craft saavy and skills you demonstrate so ably in this video. You deserve great respect.

Nice work.😮

Awesome!

Hi Jason. Thanks for taking the time to do this video. Hippy flashback, and I was surprised that you didn't say that you feel the need for speed. Did you enter the Danger Zone ? Nice key, thanks again for taking the time to do this video. Oh I think the spring at the back, I think the draw was a cash draw. For the holding of the money, especially with the rounded part for coins maybe. Thanks again. Happy Thursday.

Excellent video! Thanks Jason.

swoopy! maybe a cash drawer?

I love watching antique keys being made. But did you hear me scream to put the key in a vise and use needle files? The final key is darn near a work of art! Birchwood Casey's Brass Black?

Shaggy Jason makes a key

By this time you probably already know that this box comes out of an antique cash register.

most of our bit key blanks are just basic. Boss found somewhere to import ones that are a better price than the ILCOs.

I was typing to say that I appreciate seeing someone using tools the right way then at 12:30 you start a sawing motion with the file. Come on Jason....

You must charge a pretty penny for that pretty key 😀

Tengo un cajón con una cerradura de ese tipo, la llave se perdió hace tiempo.

Was that a cash box on an old roll top desk? Maybe a post office desk? Thanks Jason

olde jasonnnnn

I have a old stationary cabinet with the same style lock, but it has a backwards swastika stamped into it on the left side. How old could it be? And is it German Or Asian?

Lots of trial and error mixed with experience and patience, none of which I have. Haha.
