Lock Restored!

Finished up all the parts for the restoration lock. I ended up mounting this on a piece of oak I cut out of my yard. When this arrived it was a rusty mess but after a little @evapo_rust it was looking nice and clean. I made and cut the key to fit ( same key works for both set of wards) then took a guess at what the handle would look like and forged it out using some open dies for the scalloped parts. Overall this was a really fun project and I learned a few things along the way which was the point, so mission accomplished. On to the next project! #javosironworks #blacksmith #blacksmithing #blacksmiths #forged #tools #workshop #handmade #steel #anvil #forge #madeinminnesota #lock #restore #vintage #antiques
