Chris Schaie just e-mailed me this picture of a recent commission. It’s a custom Nautilus-style submarine door that incorporates Chris’s familiar irising peephole as well as a new multiple bolt mechanism that locks and unlocks by turning the handwheel. Beautiful work, Chris!

That is an insane amount of awesome right there…
I’m currently trying to think up ways to sell this to my better half so I can replace our front door with it, or something like it…
Very nicely done!!
I’m a bit disappointed that we haven’t seen any final drawings…He posted early prototype drawings with the original iris, but nothing about finalized versions, and I would assume that if he’s selling these now that he has pretty well finished the design.
The whole thing is very awesome, but that iris blows my mind. I agree that diagrams would be lovely.
This is so great and magnificently made!
I think it’s turning me on… :P
No, but seriously, this is a marvellous piece of work and congrats on creating it. Brilliant work!
