If you want to go the more round about, and a bit more heist movie, for some odd reason (As that latch would definitely be the easiest option to attack) Deviant Ollam as a collab would also be a contender. An RFID Ripper, get close to the Neck Key, read and rip a copy of the code it holds, copy and paste into a new rfid chip and you have made yourself a second master key.

A little tip for the screw drawer, when you dump them out, dump them into a shop towel and then put it on the bench. This way, you can sort and separate on the towel, and when you're done you just bundle it up and dump it back into the drawer. Added benefit, the screws don't really want to roll around on the towel like they do on a bench, so they stay put when you're sorting them.

@DoctorDanieI Жыл бұрын

He could also add different size holes into the drawer so it sorts the screws based on size while not needing additional draws. Something like a reverse pyramid shape but with square cut outs. The smaller screws would tickle down to the bottom, medium in the middle and large stays on the top. Just give it a little shake. Only downside is that if it is crammed then the effect won't work.

I worked in a walnut mill many years ago and we steamed the freshly sawn wood. It helps to make the heartwood and sapwood more uniform in color. The sap moves among the fibers and makes the color more uniform throughout. Your barn find obviously did not come from a conventional sawmill. There is enough color present in the sap to stain your hands a nice dark brown when handling wet fresh cuts.

Very impressive build. Thanks for not short-changing your description of the electronics build. Some people under-estimate what a long process that is, even when starting with an existing circuit plan and code. If you do end up going down the electronics rabbit hole the most useful piece of gear to clean up your circuits would be a Bantam Tools desktop PCB CNC. Printing circuit boards is great if using surface mount parts; but for anything through-hole mounted, the Bantam is a game changer. After it mills your circuit traces it precision drills all of your components' through-holes. No I don't work for them and aren't sponsored by them. Solid project, I subscribed a while ago. 👌👌👌🤙
