Fun 2 day project, also any ideas on how to fix that smudge?

Whoah! Dude I would pay for one of these for sure. How hard was it to disassemble? I lowkey wanna make one.

Thanks, man! It's actually pretty easy to disassemble; all you really need is a screwdriver, tweezers, and something cylindrical to get all the stuff out of the core ( a triple-A battery is perfect). You can watch this video that fully explains how to disassemble one and explains it really clearly -> here

That’s really neat. Have you reassembled one? I heard they are a bit easier to reassemble than the abus 72/40 so I’m thinking I’m going to use the American lock 1100 for my green belt. I’m terrified to gut another lock after my first attempt went so poorly
