wooden locks

[Wood_workur]

I have been looking all over the internet for free wooden lock plans, but I can't find any. Does anyone here know of any free plans for wooden locks, or have any plans?

Not exactly what you're looking for but there are a couple of books on making wooden locks. Here's one of them:

I've been able to get "free" plans from this book by checking it out from the library. I have not found wooden lock plans online.

Thanks. I see what my library has.

the locks look like they would be hard to make.

Surprisingly easy actually. I found a site where a guy makes and sells them. One picture he had showing the guts of one. I printed the picture, enlarged it and traced out the internal workings, only a couple pieces. With a little bit of adjustment I had a lock in about 2 hours made on the scrollsaw. I'll see if I can dig out a picture.

I am looking forward to seeing your pics.

That's what I'v heard about the shaft on a lock simmilar to a master lock. Rounding it over will usually blow it up. Good thing I have a gripper.

Jim- I'm also looking forward to your pictures. And maybe the site.

I've been looking through my digital archives and I can't find it. I would guess its in my workshop papers which are buried in among the boxes, waiting to see the light of day. Every project I've ever made or attempted I've kept notes and I know I did a few drawings on them. Pretty sure too I have a book on it as well. I use to do reviews for newly published woodworking books years ago. Someone PM me in about 3 weeks. By that time the dust will have cleared in my workshop...hopefully.
