Wooden Lock

[Drift]

Hi everyone, this is my first post, but I've been following your forum for some time and have found it really inspirational stuff.

I like to make wooden boxes, and for my latest one, I'd like to make a wooden padlock as well. Are any of you able to guide me towards where I might be able to download some plans?

Many thanks

And there seem to be quite a few other similar items, too.

or, in book form; http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb...-keywords=Making+Working+Wooden+Locks&x=0&y=0

Hope that helps

From memory there's a book on wooden hinges out there somewhere.
