I was scrolling through things on Ebay as I do sometimes when I am bored and see what are the strangest things I can find. I found something and followed the link to his website and I will have to say this is undoubtedly the craziest thing I have ever ever seen!
Have a read as well as he is obviously making it up as he goes along....

Err, I must be missing something, what has the guy actually made ?

Is there a photo or video of the completed item ?

I guess this is a lockable geocache? Must be designed to be the final part of a trail of caches where you need to work out the code for the lock from clues along the way.

So if the item to be collected is in the plastic tube, what are the magnets for ?

The 'craziest thing' makes sense if your' name is 'humdrum' :bluThinki

The coding of the lock is numerical. The magnets are under some of the numbers. The handle thing contains a ferrous object. Work out which numbers are magnetic and run the sequences on the tumbler until it opens

Its like the old 'Crystal Maze' TV show meets GCSE carpentry. Well done Decorum figuring out how this thing works!

Obviously not THE craziest thing I have ever seen but it was keeping within the interests of the forum and sub forum of DIY & traditional crafts and avoiding anything inappropriate, violent or perverse.

Unfortunately I couldn't fit this all into the thread title, I do apologise!

I will try and make sure all my posts are as literal and true to fact from now on to avoid any mistake of some light hearted humour.

Just so you know homesicksteve I am not actually a hostage either, I am free to come and go from my own home and do what I like at my own free will. are you home sick? or is your name actually Steve?

Good answer.

I will also try to make my future replies true to fact and also avoid any mistake of some light hearted humour.

Yes, it's Steve & I am homesick. Like Seasicksteve, but without the beard (yet).


Thanks for posting this thread - it's been ... different.
Best regards.
