want to copy a plan or two for me? that sounds fun.
There's enough youth in this world, how 'bout a fountain of SMART??!!
I would but, I might get in trouble if I copy the guys book. It is fun and really not too hard to make these. If I make the safe I can make a plan for you.
ok, I don't want you in trouble

Friend of mine was laid up from surgery and while he sat at home, he made two pairs of pliers out of a single piece of wood. First pair was for practice and to work out the kinks but the second one was really something to look at.
Locks are cool too!
I have seen things like that. I think Roy, The Woodright's Shop guy did some of that stuff. Cool but I am no carver by any means.
Nice work. But I don't understand what holds the ... hasp? shackle? curved thingie closed.

004 picture shows it best I think. There is a hole in the side of the shackle on the end that the latch bolt snaps into. The whole thing works like a mortise lock.
If you take a mortise lock apart. it is just like it. Substitute the shackle for the striker plate.
I didn't see the hole in the shackle."Put your creed in your deed." Emerson
