I enjoyed this video and can relate to it. At present I have 1 unsolved cuboid that I've worked on every now and then for 5 months and I have 3 new twisty puzzles that I haven't scramble yet. After enough time I usually cave and go online for a tutorial, even it's just to get a hint.
I've spent almost 11 months trying to pick some locks when I first started out, and there are still some in that box that defy picking so I can completely relate. And an open is an open, I've opened several one time and one time only. I say publish it, and thanks for the video!
The key puzzle. The key looks like it might work like a Derby handcuff key. Have you tryed screwing it in tight and swing if it lets any other part of the key start moving? Looks like there are some places where it comes apart. Maybe screw the little key in and se it the big key can twist apart?
Hmmm... I'd not come across Derby Handcuffs before, but I suspect you're right, and that that is the intention. If so, it seems like my one is not working, because no matter how much I turn it in either direction it never seems to open anything. But you've inspired me with your suggestions not to just give up! I'll let you know if I succeed!
That 2x4x6 took me a long time to solve, and that was many years ago. My Loki came in a beautiful cloth bag, did yours? Good luck with these puzzles! 😀

Nice to see some of the puzzles from your naughty bucket.

@@LockPickingCuber cool. Good luck. If it is damaged you could try using gravity to help and hold the big key pointing down. Maybe give it a shake

Thanks! Yes, my Loki came in the cloth bag. I hope one day I'll show it in the video where I solve it... :-)
The question about Loki's cloth bag was a very subtle hint from Goetz...
@@imyarekfamiylove3674 OMG! Thank you, and thank you to Goetz as well. I've finally solved it, thanks to this hint. Video will be out soon... :-)
What's the name of the wooden lock?
It's called the Sentinel, and is available here: cruxpuzzles.co.uk/product/sentinel-wooden-lock-puzzle/
