This is one of the most amazing and ambitious wooden project I have ever seen. The fact that it serves almost no purpose at all and that you’ve spent hundreds of dollars and hours building it makes this one of my favorite videos of all time on CZcams. You’re a true inspiration!

Nah - he is lucky if he don't get sued by the ABUS company. In Sweden it is illegal to open locks. And it is absolutely forbidden to show the inner workings of a lock. He would probably be jailed if he tried to enter Sweden since the governments keep records of illegal stuff like this.

You sir are an artist with wood! That lock is amazing. The details you added. You didn’t need to make the shackle the way you did. But you did. From you teaching me how to use my new chainsaw to fell a tree. To the great entertainment of your construction of this lock. You are doing something wonderful. Please keep up the great work. I know this video is 2 years old now. It is brand new to me. As far as price. It is so hard to price art. This I can’t say a price. I bet a museum might want it. A locksmith might buy it. But that isn’t much help. It is priceless to me. Much like your videos. The best.
My guess is that those in the lock/security industry may take serious interest in it; to them it may be fairly valuable but.... *to the rest of us it's priceless.* *Well done Jon; thanks for the time, effort, and the video.*

Offer it to the Lockpicking Lawyer for $5000. If he doesn't want it sell it to anyone else for $7500. Oh, and you should probably out an ARUS emblem on it, as it is an exact copy of their lock.
I don't do many comments but this is one time where I must. This is cool beyond all coolness. A new 10. There aren't words that would do you and your project justice. Fan -freaking-tastic!! I watch all of your videos. The variety adds a lot. I wanna be you!!!!!!!! lol I am like you in the fact that I wanna to do it all myself. Help is a hindrance. You have my utmost respect.

Incredible work, your 3 d mind skills and hand eye skills are fantastic. I think the value of that lock is priceless as one of your kids/grandkids ( I’m now Bapa ie grandpa to 9) will want this and the video to always remember the patience, work ethic and skills of their GRANDPA.
I'd say nothing under 10k$ though it's hard to know exactly how many hours you worked on this. for art projects the best way to price is (your hourly rate)*(hours worked on the project)+(materials cost)+(shipping costs) never price your hourly rate under minimul hourly wage obviously.. that should give you a rough expectation of what to charge at minimum for it. For novelty art items such as this it should be notred that up-pricing can be a selling point to wealthy elites too.
Shipping costs shouldn't be in the price calculation but the number that the rest of that sum comes too should be multiplied by a percentage, say 10% to give you a profit. (well that is what business do)
No! He's not selling a peace of furniture!! That is art! I would add a nother 25% to the hourly rate, and then at least double the summ based on your formula. And the buyer has to take care of the shipping himself.
Now the real question is. Can Lockpickinglawyer pick it? Edit: Let me just give all of the people who liked this thanks, and I’m not one to say this but thanks for 69 likes. And *NICE*
6 pin not insanely percise in order to make something really hard to pick 1. what kind of lock do we dont use? WAFER locks they are shitty and dumb as fuck 2. tolerence if you can get it down to a milionth of a mm then you got a dificult thing to get expensive and hard to pick 3. dont use keyed alike (unless you got a reason for it)
I just discovered your channel. Wow ! You are a true artist. No matter if it's a hydraulic piston, a carburetor, removing a king pin from a wheel direction, or to find a way to do something you really got it. Really great videos. Thank you ! 10 k minimum for the Padlock. So much work and thinking in that.
$10k would be my minimum price, but honestly i would set it higher. You are already at 5 figures so don't be shy. How many hours have you put into this? 500? So around $15'000 with an hourly rate of 30$ seems fair. If you wanna go for a cool number you can do the whole $12'345 If you think its too expensive and only a millionaire will ever buy it, go with the memes and make it $69'420 and hope a certain guy sees it.
minimum cost would be time and materials... * time being the total hours of planning and building together, with a reasonable hourly rate for your expertise and location * materials should not assume scraps, but buying new from a local store. did you say how many hours? if not, i"ll assume 50 hours of design at 60$/hour, and 150 hours of construction at 40$/hour, and 500$ in materials. that puts us to 9500$ minimum, and I have very low confidence in those first 4 assumptions... but that's just to get our minimum. assuming this is a custom commission, it's fitting that this would have a premium price to ensure that the craftsman is well compensated. I could see a quote being 12,000$-14,000$. but that isn't what this is. what's the demand for a product like this? this was built without a customer in mind. so the people that are interested should not be expected to pay time and materials, since they are going to offer what it's worth to them, not the cost to manufacture. it's worth is determined by what someone will pay for it. if Abus wasn't interested, and if you couldn't find an eccentric millionaire, what you can actually get for it might be closer to 4,000$-7,000$? 4k might be optimistic, but every time i see one of these videos and an auction follows, I'm surprised by the numbers I see. it seems there is actually a market for wacky and unique things like this. i hope someone is really excited by this, and offers a fair price.
Regarding your question of how much the lock is worth monetarily: You're thinking about this the wrong way. You should put all the ABUS branding on the lock(don't upload any of that footage to CZcams), which is the lock's manufacturer your model is designed after. Then contact ABUS and see if they'd be interested in buying it. It's an old German company. They'd probably put it up on display somewhere. Perhaps you could CNC their logo on to the key and lock itself. If not, switch the branding to another lock manufacturer, Master Lock for example. See if they want to buy it... Hell, this is the kind of sh*t Jimmy DiResta gets paid to do and it wouldn't even need to be functional.
ETXAlienRobot201 No trademark infringement here at all. I’d bet if you took a Master lock apart you’d see the same type of internals, so it would be impossible for a company to claim a trademark infringement. Besides, as it sits it has no company name on it.
Holy Moly, Lockman! Loved watching you build it. Great job. Better make it worth a bit. I bet it took you quite a while to make and the craftsmanship is spot on. Say 5k to 7k. Well worth it. Thanks for taking the time.
John, you’re one of the few crazy mf’ers on YT who would go to the time, trouble and expense to build this… and I’m a lifetime subscriber loving you for it! I loved the “Holy #$@! It actually works!!” Quote on the pawl spring bit… Keep on keepin’ on, brother!
I would say with the amount of work and engineering that was put into this should be worth north of 10k US. Albeit a niche market, I think a true collector of unique art would pay it. Is a beautiful piece of work,you should be proud of. I would have a hard time selling if I put that much time into it.
I’m so blown away that I’m lost for the appropriate words of appreciating and being in awe of such a fantastic work. I agree of the $10k-$20k sell estimate range. Your effort also revealed the lock mechanism designs which was pretty awesome in itself.
Sir that lock is f-ing BEAUTIFUL 💯🤯 I love that lock ,I think just because it is different but I love how you put all the lil books and crannies in it , You did a helluva great beautiful job on the lock keep up the great work 💯💯👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏✌
I loved it. I’m in awe of your work and work ethic. I think you should sell it for whatever a good psychiatrist will charge you to fix whatever it is that made you start a project like this in the first place. Thanks for the great videos.
I wouldn't sell it, that kind of Art is unique and should be displayed as a testament of your skills and be humble and proud or it at the same time. It is great
Loved watching you create this piece of art. You are very talented. Not only is it beautiful, but is is one of a kind. I would think it would fetch a handsome sum of money. Shouldn't start any lower than 10K. with the sky being the limit.
Materials used + Time spent on build + Power used + Tools degradation factor = True Fair Price -> That only you can know what it is worth!!! Great work ;D
Excellent video and a beautiful padlock! You might feel that this is time wasted, but to us, your followers, its priceless to see and learn. And I truly believe you enjoyed making it - a lot :-) Don't sell it cheap is all I can say.

Sell it John! Great craftsmanship like that will catch a premium price. Take it to a hardware store and get a spare key cut.
Easily over 10K in work alone, but as art. 20-30k.
Agreed
Incredible work, your 3 d mind skills and hand eye skills are fantastic. I think the value of that lock is priceless as one of your kids/grandkids ( I’m now Bapa ie grandpa to 9) will want this and the video to always remember the patience, work ethic and skills of their GRANDPA.
I'd say nothing under 10k$ though it's hard to know exactly how many hours you worked on this. for art projects the best way to price is (your hourly rate)*(hours worked on the project)+(materials cost)+(shipping costs)
never price your hourly rate under minimul hourly wage obviously.. that should give you a rough expectation of what to charge at minimum for it.
For novelty art items such as this it should be notred that up-pricing can be a selling point to wealthy elites too.
Go big or go home, big lock big price 25k
Shipping costs shouldn't be in the price calculation but the number that the rest of that sum comes too should be multiplied by a percentage, say 10% to give you a profit. (well that is what business do)
No! He's not selling a peace of furniture!! That is art! I would add a nother 25% to the hourly rate, and then at least double the summ based on your formula.
And the buyer has to take care of the shipping himself.
It’s priceless…..wood burn your name on it and donate to Locksmith biz….or a museum. You had fun doing it 😊
As one of the greatest things to come out of 2020 so far...it's probably worth 50 Gs.
Your attention to detail is quite remarkable. Well done....
Now the real question is. Can Lockpickinglawyer pick it? Edit: Let me just give all of the people who liked this thanks, and I’m not one to say this but thanks for 69 likes. And *NICE*
The tolerances on he core, not to mention the materials, ought to make this pretty easy to pick. I mean, apart from the sheer scale, anyway.
6 pin not insanely percise
in order to make something really hard to pick
1. what kind of lock do we dont use? WAFER locks they are shitty and dumb as fuck
2. tolerence if you can get it down to a milionth of a mm then you got a dificult thing to get expensive and hard to pick
3. dont use keyed alike (unless you got a reason for it)
Shimmable design :)
I think you could pick it woth your bare hands
I just discovered your channel. Wow ! You are a true artist. No matter if it's a hydraulic piston, a carburetor, removing a king pin from a wheel direction, or to find a way to do something you really got it. Really great videos. Thank you ! 10 k minimum for the Padlock. So much work and thinking in that.
That’s gotta be worth $10k - $20k as a piece of art
Easy $10,000. You constructed a one-off piece of woodcraft. Excellent artisan technique.
$10k would be my minimum price, but honestly i would set it higher. You are already at 5 figures so don't be shy. How many hours have you put into this? 500? So around $15'000 with an hourly rate of 30$ seems fair. If you wanna go for a cool number you can do the whole $12'345
If you think its too expensive and only a millionaire will ever buy it, go with the memes and make it $69'420 and hope a certain guy sees it.
Considering a poorly trained auto mechanic can charge a billable rate of $80/hr, yeah, I'd aim high. :)
nice
I don't have a clue what it's worth, but what an advertising piece it is. I love it.
Regards Peter
minimum cost would be time and materials...
* time being the total hours of planning and building together, with a reasonable hourly rate for your expertise and location
* materials should not assume scraps, but buying new from a local store.
did you say how many hours? if not, i"ll assume 50 hours of design at 60$/hour, and 150 hours of construction at 40$/hour, and 500$ in materials. that puts us to 9500$ minimum, and I have very low confidence in those first 4 assumptions... but that's just to get our minimum.
assuming this is a custom commission, it's fitting that this would have a premium price to ensure that the craftsman is well compensated. I could see a quote being 12,000$-14,000$.
but that isn't what this is. what's the demand for a product like this? this was built without a customer in mind. so the people that are interested should not be expected to pay time and materials, since they are going to offer what it's worth to them, not the cost to manufacture. it's worth is determined by what someone will pay for it. if Abus wasn't interested, and if you couldn't find an eccentric millionaire, what you can actually get for it might be closer to 4,000$-7,000$? 4k might be optimistic, but every time i see one of these videos and an auction follows, I'm surprised by the numbers I see. it seems there is actually a market for wacky and unique things like this.
i hope someone is really excited by this, and offers a fair price.
‘Wacky and unique’, this guy made an art piece to put it simple. Lock companies would easily pay $10k for this, i have no doubt
Put it on online auction. This is not just a simple lock. This is hard work only a carpenter can imagine.
Regarding your question of how much the lock is worth monetarily: You're thinking about this the wrong way. You should put all the ABUS branding on the lock(don't upload any of that footage to CZcams), which is the lock's manufacturer your model is designed after. Then contact ABUS and see if they'd be interested in buying it. It's an old German company. They'd probably put it up on display somewhere. Perhaps you could CNC their logo on to the key and lock itself.
If not, switch the branding to another lock manufacturer, Master Lock for example. See if they want to buy it... Hell, this is the kind of sh*t Jimmy DiResta gets paid to do and it wouldn't even need to be functional.
the way trademarks are so abused these days, that sounds like a very bad idea....
ETXAlienRobot201
No trademark infringement here at all.
I’d bet if you took a Master lock apart you’d see the same type of internals, so it would be impossible for a company to claim a trademark infringement.
Besides, as it sits it has no company name on it.
Not sure whats more rediculus, that I watched this or you built this. Keep the videos coming!
Contact ABUS. They could be interested.
I would say no less than 12,000$
Lock Museum of America would be a great home for that beauty.
If you actually use this people aren’t gonna steal the object that being locked, there gonna steal the padlock
To the right person this lock is priceless. For your time and effort i would say anywhere between 5k & 10k depending on what you accept.
$20K if someone at ABUS commissioned it for a promo
Holy Moly, Lockman! Loved watching you build it. Great job. Better make it worth a bit. I bet it took you quite a while to make and the craftsmanship is spot on. Say 5k to 7k. Well worth it. Thanks for taking the time.
Wow, you saw the whole thing through. Clever work all the way.
John, you’re one of the few crazy mf’ers on YT who would go to the time, trouble and expense to build this… and I’m a lifetime subscriber loving you for it!
I loved the “Holy #$@! It actually works!!” Quote on the pawl spring bit…
Keep on keepin’ on, brother!
You're a funny guy sometimes 🤣. And you do very well at explaining what you are doing. You could have been a great teacher.
I would say with the amount of work and engineering that was put into this should be worth north of 10k US. Albeit a niche market, I think a true collector of unique art would pay it. Is a beautiful piece of work,you should be proud of. I would have a hard time selling if I put that much time into it.
Worth as much as the guy wants to give on the day you sell it. Great project. Not too crazy about the digital camo look of the shacle.
I’m so blown away that I’m lost for the appropriate words of appreciating and being in awe of such a fantastic work. I agree of the $10k-$20k sell estimate range. Your effort also revealed the lock mechanism designs which was pretty awesome in itself.
Sir that lock is f-ing BEAUTIFUL 💯🤯 I love that lock ,I think just because it is different but I love how you put all the lil books and crannies in it , You did a helluva great beautiful job on the lock keep up the great work 💯💯👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏✌
$8 - $12 thousand easy for the padlock. What a one of a kind beautiful piece of art. Your an incredible Master Woodworker!! Hands down!!!
Extremely entertaining video. You should keep it for your grandkids.
I loved it. I’m in awe of your work and work ethic. I think you should sell it for whatever a good psychiatrist will charge you to fix whatever it is that made you start a project like this in the first place.
Thanks for the great videos.
Its priceless. Dont ask price from others. You just quote a price lets hope someone comes forward and pays for it. Loved your skills and passion.
I wouldn't sell it, that kind of Art is unique and should be displayed as a testament of your skills and be humble and proud or it at the same time. It is great
Yeah, but he already has the video for that. Work is work... and people shouldn't feel weird getting paid for theirs.
13:35 my man took multitasking to a whole new level
Workmanship at another level - brilliant! Such craftmanship! Value - I do not have an idea, some mention 5k, I could believe that. Talk to Abus.
Loved watching you create this piece of art. You are very talented. Not only is it beautiful, but is is one of a kind. I would think it would fetch a handsome sum of money. Shouldn't start any lower than 10K. with the sky being the limit.
Materials used + Time spent on build + Power used + Tools degradation factor = True Fair Price -> That only you can know what it is worth!!!
Great work ;D
Excellent video and a beautiful padlock! You might feel that this is time wasted, but to us, your followers, its priceless to see and learn. And I truly believe you enjoyed making it - a lot :-) Don't sell it cheap is all I can say.
Doesn't happen often, but I do love when youtube recommendations gets something right. Subscribed.
work of art. your resourcefulness keeps amazing me. you should be one of the first colonizers of mars.
Hi, 👋 im from the UK, I’ve been watching your videos and enjoying the content and humour,I’ve just watched this one and I think it’s amazing, I agree with some of the comments, that you should get in touch with the lock manufacturer ££££££.
I would also like to add this channel has become my favourite to watch, so keep up the great work. Cheers,Dale.
Incredible well done and the definition of a craftsman is one who when they make a mistake can get themselves out of it
Very nice.
Love your Brodie like face from tears to joy, in Jaws when he kill the shark!😎
I agree with the people saying you should sell it to a lock company. This would be something that they would be proud to own. This is a masterpiece of woodworking and I am impressed with your skill
@27:00 had me lmao. To say that after all that work was priceless. Nice job finishing it and it also for it working.
Now you have to make a giant door with a lock hasp for your lock!👍😀👍
John I love your padlock. I'm an old retired sculptor and my last name means the Oak and I love watching your creativity.
Priceless. They would steal the lock and leave the bike. Really neat. I love your ingenuity and skill.
You got a lot better at making springs by the end! I was glad you didn't get hurt on the first one with the uncontrolled rewind.
