Just to let everyone know, I just finished my fourth edition to my book. Previous editions are no longer available (naturally). Here’s the link:

Dean, I like the way you boxed the information the last time, and I would appreciate it if you could do it again.

There’s some rather cool tools and techniques I added to the book; a total of 23 chapters.

It didn’t change according to Google. So the last one stands as far as they are concerned. Also I just used that info and it found your current listing.🙁y):

Hi Lauren,

Santa is sending me a copy of your book because I’ve been good this year! 🙁angel):
I have some VR (Victorian Railways) 1P padlocks that desperately need keys :8):

Cheers, Mickthepick.

Thank you for supporting my book. Countless hours went into research and development of tools and techniques (many of which are my own design and invention) that the average handyman can learn to do. And, it’s my pleasure to provide serious collectors and hobbiest the information to get more out of collecting. Anyone can spend money on Ebay (provided they have it) and buy a lock with an original key, but not everyone has the knowledge to make their own keys from bar stock and plate materials.

Anyone who buys the book can have it autographed by me, provided they pay the shipping cost both ways.

Guess what I picked up from the post office this morning?
“The Extreme Antique Padlock Collector” came today and it’s as good as everyone has been saying.
Fantastic photos and explanations.

Thanks Lauren!

I am so glad to read positive feedback. Hundreds of man hours went into producing the fourth edition. This book really is an asset to any collector, hobbyist and locksmith. And, I appreciate all the members who have supported me with sales. I know the book cost some serious change, but the information you’ll receive is very rewarding. It is my belief the one day my book will be up there in high ranks. It’s just a matter of time and getting the word out.

Here is another example of some of my homemade barrel keys. I just finished this key yesterday. You can learn my techniques in the fourth edition of my book.
