[@peterross6560]

one of today's best smiths studying and reproducing historic forged work!! Hope to see more videos like this!

[@Rene.Rondeau]

Fascinating! I look forward to more like it.

I’m so amazed at the remarkable inventions of people! A simple lock, yet to put all those components together to make it work. I like the new intro! Mary

Way cool video...! Love the explanation of the parts of the lock...!

[@tinmanx2222]

Great video.

[@h2o270]

Awesome! More please!

[@jeffplawrentz269]

That is fascinating ---he did a great job on the reproduction!

[@gl15col]

Quite amazing that whole lock survived 400 years; great bit of luck for the archeologists and Mr Mankowski. I always love watching someone who can make something from scratch like this.

Now - how did they make the keys....

[@skepticalbadger]

For a large iron key, the same processes - forging and filing. You could also cast brass and then file.
