MAKING A MEDECO CLASSIC CUTAWAY!..by james504

first thing you have to do is grinding a grove down the side of the bible where you want your  pins to be visible

then with a hand file, file evenly until  you can start seeing the pin chambers opening up(its very important not to go to deep)

then go a little further until they open up just enough so you can see everything but not to much where the pins are falling out..and you want every slot to be even as possible .

then its time to cut your slots so you can see all the workings i usually cut 3 slots each one should be the width of the center of the two pin chambers that its under.

then its time to fit everything back together just to be sure everything fits and looks good and even ..

now take everything back apart if everything fits good ..and now its time to work on the plug now depending on what kind of lock your doing it will be a lil diffrent but with this one its a medeco classic ...you have to cut a slot a tiny bit smaller than the pin width all the way around till you get to the bottom of the plug where the bottom of the key sits.

so now that you have all that done its time for the hard part ...you will have to sand and polish ..i wont tell you the exact polish i use ..lol ...but you will have to sand i usually start from 800 and go all the way to 2000 grit then wash it all with bar soap and a toothbrush ...then get to polishing ...then fit it all back together and no you have one awesome piece...
