Thank you for the video Jim!

In the opening seconds of the film I was looking over your shoulder and asking myself why the walls in your shop weren't finished... Just bare stud framing.

Then it clicked. I realized what all that "lumber" was behind you.

It's been a long week.

Hello Jim, thanks for your grand video, I picked up some good tips on using a spring vice , no more adjustable spanners for me !
I would like to say that you have a very neat and clean work surface ,good to see . It really puts my messed up junk pile of a shop to shame , take care , Steven NZ down under.

Is there a fly installed on the tumbler of this lock or did I just miss it?

Nope, no fly in this lock shown.  All of our Colonial locks sold individually (not part of a kit) will include a fly.  Might have to do another video with the fly.

If a fly is present, be careful not to lose it!

Thanks,
Jim
