Yes, I know Wil has one, and I tried it briefly, only the first step. I'll have to go back one day to spend more time on it.
Oli pictured one at last years EPP, see his Flickr fotostream, so I guess Peter Hajek also has one.

I made little to no progress in half an hour or so. It really gives nothing away! I too would love to spend more time with one in the future. Peter offered me the solution booklet but I just had to decline. I really want to solve it myself!

From now in T1 is formally my favorite of the series. I solved Wil's copy partially today, but got totally stuck at step 3 after half an hour, I could not even get it back to the initial state. Therefore unfortunately I had to make Wil dig out the solution and I had to use it to proceed. Even with the solution it was hard to accomplish. I had to solve and reassemble it twice to understand why and how I got stuck before...
This is an awesome but complex puzzle, I never saw so many well hidden locks inside a puzzle-lock before,
Major kudo's to anyone solving this by themselves.

I'd love to have a shot at it ... but if your progress is any indication, this is one tough puzzle!
