I am in the process of inventing a PVC Cryptex.
There Isn’t that much useful information around that I have been able to use, So I wanted to bounce some inspiration around, for this future cache I am still constructing and planning.
I don’t want to give to much away about the actual hide, but I want to share some of the construction progress.
I was planning on cutting out some outer timber discs for the dials, but the crossgrain in the wood thwarted my efforts, as it gave way and would probably not stand up to the elements.
So now for the outer components I am soley using PVC tubing from bunnings. a mix of regular and high pressure pipe.
if you click on the picture it should take you to some more photos, but I haven’t put the time into describing them yet. I will probably sort them all out proper when the project is complete.
If you are still curious as to what a cryptex actually is… you may have to watch that ‘The Divinci Code’ movie or read the book. ( the books are better).
