Pipe 3 - the center hang glider pipe that will be the inside of the letter rings and spacer rings Pipe 2 - the second pipe is in my case the smallest of het hang glider pipes Pipe 1 - the inner pipe that will contain the content of the Cryptex To make this Instructable a little bit easier, I will name the different pipes:
(mine will be a little bit shorter because I made the in between rings to small) My Cryptex should be something like 175 mm long.ħ Letters x 15 mm + 6 in between rings x 5 mm + 2 end rings x 20 mm I think that it would look nice when this ring is a little longer than the letter rings. On both endings there will be an extra ring. With our original design this should be +/- 5 mm. (I made mine just a little to small so I had to alter my original design. They must be the width of the head of the small bolds you are going to use. Our design has spacing rings in between the letter rings. It must be wide enough to grab and turn but small enough to be compact and look good. Next decision is the width of the rings with the letters on them.

I have no idea how many letters the Cryptex in the movie has) The width of the letters (We both made a Cryptex with seven letters. To decide how big the Cryptex will be, we first have to decide how many letters we want to use. We started the build without knowing what our fourth pipe would be, but we where sure that we would find something.
(please don't shoot hang gliders out of the sky for this project) Luckily I have bought an old crashed hang glider some time ago and the leading edge of this glider has already three of the four pipes we need. The most important (and hardest) preparation for this project is getting four pipes that fit inside each other. To open the Cryptex and get to its contents, you need to turn a couple of rings with letters on it to form a word. I think we did very nicely so here is our try on this already well documented subject. It is suggested that the Cryptex is a design from Leonardo Da Vinci, but I can't find any proof of that in a very very thick book I have about Leonardo Da Vinci. The Cryptex is a prop from the movie "The Da Vinci Code" where they have to decode the Cryptex to open it. So a teenager having our Dutch fall-holiday wanted to make something.
