Davinci Code Cryptex
Davinci Code Cryptex. I know its an old movie, but I've got the urge to make one. Not much on the Internet, 'cept a brief video on youtube. Got a general idea how to do it, but I'm sure it will turn out very rudimentary. Tips and pointers wanted!

yeah I know, I made one to fit a beer bottle for my friends birthday, but quit half way, I didn't have the right tools. But at least I knew what I was doing I guess

There is a paper version of it here:

If that doesn't suffice, then you can at least use it as a template to make a more realistic one.

Hmmm, thanks for the tip. I puzzled how I didn't see that site because I was looking for a long time. My cryptex is in process right now, probably 25% done but its made out of wood. Probably a week for the finish product. It won't look anything like the real one...*sigh*
