Made a Cryptex

[Valor]

I saw Davinci Code again the other night. The cryptex has always fascinated me. I know you can buy a pretty decent authorized replica, but I researched online and found some fairly nice tutorials for building one out of common plumbing fittings. I know it's not real screen accurate, but I tried to capture the spirit of the original prop. I may weather and detail this one later to better simulate the real prop. But for now, I'm happy with the results.

It's a fun, super cheap weekend build. And a great prop to build with a kid!

Great build. I love this prop and actually own one of the higher end replicas. Do you have the link for the tutorial you used? I think it would be a fun project for me and my boys.

Again nice job :thumbsup

There's several great sources. I didn't follow any one in particular. There were things about each that I wanted to do a bit different. But any of these get you going inthe right direction:
