Got one of those stainless steel pedal locks but found it inconvenient to use. Also, you have to stand outside and reach down in a vulnerable position. Had some scrap metal so I decided to make one, which you can lock/unlock while seated inside the vehicle. Useful for quick stops on the road!

Making decorative aluminum cutouts of the legendary Bigfoot. Planning to put them on splashguards or mudguards for the fat e-bike. Thin plate aluminum, cut and carved with hacksaws, drill bits and assorted files. A vise and clamp made it much easier. All done by hand! No laser cutter or water jet.

Fun project on a cloudy rainy afternoon. Used a cheap barrel bolt to make a door lock with a 'one of a kind' key. A strong lock that should be hard - or even impossible to pick? Let me know what you think and what can be improved.
