In 2019 Jan-Willem started with am odd collection. Not the locks, nor the keys, just the pins from a pin tumbler. Pins are in a lock and make them function. However, the pins are only observable when the owner decides to gut the lock or create a cutaway. The idea was simple: Create a collection\/archive of pin tumbler pins and their keys. This required a proper way to store the pins. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To store the pins many different boxes have been tried. After many failed attempts Jan-Willem stumbled upon a hobby not to dissimilar from our own: coin collecting! The value of one \u20ac2 coin is just \u20ac2 to a consumer. While the collector is looking for a 1st edition misprint from Monaco, and not just any coin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coins are often stored in albums, either with or without protection. The lowest quality coins protection are two pieces of plastic film and a cardboard cutout. Often glued or stapled together. While the high end coins are with a certificate sealed in an acrylic case. Leuchtturm makes coin boxes in between the two, and at a reasonable price and the inserts are DIY, lasercut acrylic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To store these boxes it was decided to use business card holders, this did not go as plan and required custom holders. First made from acrylic and the second version from wood. Fifty sets of pins are created and thirty are added to the album. This is where the project was stuck for a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week was a good time to continue this project. A proper pleader album was bought. And the pins are added.
This is the result this far:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The album has 48 pins and about 30 more sets are ready to be archived. Acrylic is ordered and the inserts will be created when a lasercutter is accessible again. The photos will be published here on Blackbag. For now you can find one key a day on twitter: https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/microkeys?src=hashtag_click&f=live<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The coin boxes, album, and inserts are sold under the name Leuchtturm and Lighthouse. These boxes are available on eBay. Link to a Dutch web shop: https:\/\/www.knm.nl\/leuchtturm-quadrum-capsules-14-mm\/nl\/product\/2741\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
