  1. As a long time lurker, I feel it is time to add one of my creations to my favourite thread.

     

    We have a kindergartener and a pre-schooler so up until quite recently it seemed that every cupboard door and appliance in the house was childproofed. After a while we got used to them being there so we could automatically unfasten them. However, when friends and family would visit, we were able to get a good laugh when they would encounter one of those tricky contraptions.

     

    Using that as a premise, I sat down with a variety of childproofing locks and designed the following nested locking cache.

     

    Upon opening the ordinary looking ammo can, the finder discovers a stove lock.

    After squeezing his way past that one, he encounters the dreaded fridge lock. This style of lock proved to be the most frustrating for many of our visitors.

    The clever finder that has pushed his way through that one then comes upon the corner cupboard lock.

    Once that little bad boy is unbuckled, the finder uncovers a somewhat familiar pill bottle.

    Following a swift push/twist combination, the log book is finally uncovered.

     

    Here is a cross-section showing the nested compartments

    Heh heh, thats a great and evil little cache.

     

    Wow, that is brilliant!
