    Default Environmental Padlock

    Have this padlock for while until finally make key for it. The first one I did was from a truck tire air value. The second one was from round brass by using on drill press to file it down until it fit in the hole. This is a Specific Union Pacific RR Padlock.....Timothy.....

    That's Brilliant Timothy- that's thinking outside the box and to get the profile of the key bow to match the body of the padlock- Love it!

    Feeling fortunate to have seen this thread. When members share their out of the box ideas, it is ain inspiration for others to emulate.

    Good job! I look at your endeavours to create a key from scratch as inspiration towards my own projects
