Re: T-Nuts, the easy way
Have you tried an RV place for some new locks? Usually they aren't the most durable or secure ones used on such things, and you most likely can find replacements online. Or machine a new key blank in

I cannot doubt that! Thinking of taking an impression of it in wax or clay, then making a casting in brass or aluminum. It's a tiny little thing with 1 narrow and 1 wide groove on one side, and

Re: T-Nuts, the easy way
Well at least you're not having to drill into your own safe because you left it sitting in the TX sun for a week and the thermal relocker melted and jammed the super high security combo lock you

Crap. You just reminded me again that I need spare keys for the camper shell on my old pickup truck. I have one useable key that I can find, now. I've taken it to a locksmith, and had no luck finding

Re: T-Nuts, the easy way
Filing is a useful skill to have. One of the exercises for apprentice machinists was to take a lump of iron, and file it into a 1" cube. Sort of a Sorting Hat for machinists. If you didn't have the

Re: T-Nuts, the easy way
If all else fails, you can cut a t-nut like I did for my Atlas TH42. Hacksaw, and files. A Sharpie for layout dye, and a scratch awl for marking out. Took me about 4 hours. Didn't even have access to

Re: Reverse tumbler Mod for a 9A
