A Simple Warded Box Lock And Key Made From Scrap Steel

[@DutchBarracuda]

I love how you often opt for the more labour intensive tools rather than say using a dremel. Genuinely, it looks far more satisfying.

For the whole 15 mins I was transported back to the 70's to my apprenticeship days in British Steel. All the basic hand tool stuff, striving for perfection to please our trainers! Brilliant video once again Jason - can't wait to see what the lock goes on! 😊

So recently i fixed an old door lock, probably 1920's or there about. Welded the worn material sculpted it back to shape. Felt really big-in-town about it, now i see this where you made one from scratch. :)) I gotta up my game, making a lock from scratch is on my bucket list.

With most things these days created by computers and built by robots it’s incredible to watch someone with the skills and knowledge to build something from scratch and create every moving part by hand .thanks for sharing.

[@frotz661]

This is very fascinating. There are lots of videos on old locks, how they work, and how to pick them. I've looked and I don't think there are any other videos on KZbin about how make these old locks. Well, there's one about how to make an ancient wooden one found in Syria. Yeah, they're not terribly secure, but they are fun to play with and create.

What such a Wonderful! A craftsman of the ancients, mastering different arts and materials. Also, if you need something for your project, you manage and create it, but without underestimating the detail, the model and the finish. My most sincere and affectionate applause. You are a phenomenon. Thank you for letting us enjoy these amazing videos. A hug.

Just no end of "Epic" for what you set your sites on and achieve with scraps...because you can!

[@lynxg4641]

Man, you never cease to amaze. I love seeing how old stuff was made inside, would be really interesting to dissect and figure out what methods were originally used instead of welding - I'd guess lots of holes and peened pins.

[@EpicUpCycling]

Yes, I think most of the ones I've seen look riveted, or peened.

[@cobberpete1]

Different again Jason. I'm so used to you up cycling wood with the odd metal work accessory, and here you are doing just metal work. Amazing stuff. And ditto Dutch below. More often than not you take the hand tool option rather than power tools, which makes it all the more impressive.

[@EpicUpCycling]

That's called a WARDED lock. The piece of metal that fit through the slot on the key is called a WARD. They can be as simple as this one, or very complicated and elaborate. You have the ward on the unlock, but not on the lock. Thanks for the video. Jon

I do believe this is the first time I’ve seen you use a ball peen hammer that doesn’t have tape on the handle 😊. Darlington, South Carolina

[@karm65]

Very nice lock. it got me wondering if it could be made without the welder using peening, rivets, tabs, and slots

[@EpicUpCycling]

I'm sure it could. A lot of the older ones I've seen were made like that.

[@brucelee3388]

They still make them with slots, tabs, rivets & peening. Once you have the tooling and jigs it is faster and cheaper than welding for series production. There appears to be a lot of tools in th background that would have made at least some of the processes quicker and/or easier, such as the hydraulic press for bending and the belt sander/linisher for edge finishing and shaping some of the larger parts. Why use a hand held drill when you have a drill press and vice which would be more accurate? And no backers for some of the through holes?
