send me the maze map and I will cut it on a 2" tube or any size you like

At first, from the thumbnail view I though this was a Lightsaber hilt, upon further inspection however it turned out to be this wonderous contraption. looks well built and time consuming, nice

you could buy time on a water or laser cutter machine. they could do it with absolutely no problem. i have no idea where or how much that service is though.

This look fantastic. I've been considering making one in wood for some time now but am not sure how wood expansion/contraction due to humidity would affect it. I may just try anyway.
Do you have an easy way to reset it or have you learnt the path backwards as well as forwards?

Amazing, it is breathtaking! I love the maze idea, actaully I love everything about the Criptex. The metal you used looks great, it has the old timer look!

brilliant idea. i love the complexity combined with such a simple mechanism. just a simple pin and that thing is more secure for hiding valuables then most banks lol. well congrats on the completion cuz i know how frustrating it must have been to be going through all that wrk.

SamuelSeitler [2011-10-14 03:07:10 +0000 UTC]
that is amazing. there are computer aided plasma cutters that could buzz that out in minutes. they are pricey, but damn you could sell a lot of those. another idea would be to make a pattern in steel and then lay it out on a s sheet of 1/16 aluminum or copper and just router it out. you could use the same template and just make changes to it so no two would be alike. nice work.

gryphonsshadow [2011-04-02 23:05:00 +0000 UTC]
fantastic idea and execution, I've just started to work with mental but sawing copper takes a long time. could you laser cut the maze out? I don't know if it would be faster but you wouldn't break any blades.

Yeah, if I made this again today (or mass produced this) I would probably laser cut it.

you could use a laser cutter for mass production in sales, there's quite a few ads for them on some magazines that i get

Awesome work! I created something similar in college a few years back and the hardest part was definitely cutting out the intricate parts like you maze. I didn't do a maze per se, but mine was on a smaller scale. Have you thought about using a milling machine? You could start with tubing and turn it on a radius then pull it length wise working back and forth. Maybe a small mill like they would use for watch making?
I'd love to hear more about your process for constructing this piece!

first off im gonna mention that this is an amazing piece of art. and congrats for succeeding in making it.
But i was wondering if maybe the solution to the cutting of the copper could be solved by using a numerically controlled wire EDM machine to quickly and accurately make the maze.

shellshockedwolf [2010-02-09 03:56:26 +0000 UTC]
Is it possible to wrap the copper sheet around say a wood blank that you can lathe out to the proper length and diameter, then try cutting the maze out with a dremel?

lazyu [2010-01-02 22:14:37 +0000 UTC]
If you could lay it flat out then maybe silver solder the seam and then to the cap.
The machine you need is a wire EDM. they could run several stacked up then.
(Electric Discharge Machine).
Beautiful piece.

o.O
the first thing i thought of was National Treasure, where they had the message on the pipe...
but i realized it was something so much cooler
dang
that must have been crazy to make....

Just seen this, clever, but very easy to cut the maze quickly, just laser cut it

can someone break it by using force and could you add something that would be to stop someone from just going hulk on the thing?
