A friend gave me an old Gerstner and sons oak tool chest that was in a shed they cleaned out and it just needed a good cleaning and minor repairs, and its now a gorgeous tool box for my leather and antler working tools. It was missing a key though. i could get a key for it but itd be $30 or so and thats a bit much for a free toolbox, so I made a blank out of some flat stock that would fit through the mechanism, then I held it in a candle flame to get some soot on there, put it in, and where it hit a ward the soot was rubbed off. So id use a dremel with a cutting disk to cut away the metal that didnt have soot on it. Rinse and repeat a few times and i had a key that would actuate the lock and all I did from there was toss it in a rock tumbler with some steel bearings to deburr and burnish it and the key works perfectly! I felt so clever working that out and its given me a bit of a bug now, wanting to try my hand at making a lock and key from scratch. And then this video shows up like it knew what I was thinking. Great stuff!!

@@GreasyLuckForge im definitely chasing it all the way to wonderland, ive got a reference book of antique ironwork and something ive always been infatuated with are renaissance era “lantern keys” which are basically instead of a loop at the end of a key, theres a trapezoidal box with filigree sides and a domed pommel, some of them got quite large (i imagine part to show off the details and partially so theyd be hard to steal) but id love to eventually produce one of those, perhaps with something like a uranium glass bead contained within the lantern. I think something like that with a steel body and brass filigree on the lantern aspect would be an amazing project not to mention look amazing on a key ring, though thats more on the cosmetic end as opposed to the working end of things. I just love the attention to detail and a good tactile feeling old keys have.
@GreasyLuckForge 2 ай бұрын
Yes, those are amazing keys. Supposedly they were made from a single piece. I’ve never been able to inspect one to see for myself. It’s on my list of things to do some day, but that list is longer than I’ll ever get to and growing every day.

Fascinating stuff. This is the first video of yours I've watched, so please excuse me if this has been addressed before. However, I was curious about your choice of the cape chisel. Is there any reason you use this over, say, a fret type saw and a file, or even by chain drilling and filing? Thank you.
@GreasyLuckForge 2 ай бұрын
Thanks. A large part of the work and research that I do is to figure out how this work was originally done. Often times we think of past technology as being primitive, but they actually had quite effective techniques. I also find the old ways of working to be much more pleasurable of an experience. This is the traditional way of cutting some of these slots. Some locksmiths also had files that were more like saws, but I haven't gotten around to making one of those yet. I have used a jewelers saw, but that's not a traditional way of doing this work as far as I know. Using a small chisel would be much more effective in the days before electricity if you were trying to chain drill and file.

I like the way my brick floor looks and feels but sweeping is tough. Some dust goes in the pan, some in the next crack and some into the air. Also, there are places where activities like chopping wood created depressions in the brick and i can't figure a way to lift some without destroying at least one for access. Mine are street pavers and really hard (besides being deeper than wide).
@GreasyLuckForge Жыл бұрын
Yeah, I love the look to it. I haven't had to sweep a lot yet, but the cracks still need a little filling so it helps. It's mostly all small filings filling in around the bench area. My father has pavers for the floor in his shop as well. I think the only broken ones are where he used to split firewood.

I have only made one pinched bow from watching Kevins pictures. I can clearly see the differences in the shapes and why you prefer the one on the right. What is not clear is how the process was done differently to get the two different shapes.
@GreasyLuckForge 2 жыл бұрын
This video shows the process for the one one the right, with the point being upset and drawn out at the vise for the pinch at the bottom of the bow. The one from the left was just a flat piece that gets bent back on itself completely (at both ends) and get's welded to create that point. When it is bent around to create the eye of the bow, the two welded points come together at the bottom of the bow to create the pinched point. Part of the problem is you have to be much more careful bending them around or your risk opening up the weld. I just didn't enjoy the process or the outcome of it.
