Still Learning
I am looking to make a writing box - the basic shape will be as per this picture ...
The lock has got me a bit perplexed as all of the ones I have seen seem to be tailor made to take account of the slope.
Given there is a mix of ingenuity and knowledge on here I wondered if anyone has any thoughts? If I cut the mortice at a right angle to the sloping edge the key won't fit in properly ...
Any suggestions or advice will be most welcome.
