In this video, I continue my journey to build a chest lock, but things don't go exactly as planned! The spring is proving to be a stubborn challenge, and I'm left wondering if I should start over or keep pushing through. Watch as I troubleshoot, learn from my mistakes, and hopefully make some progress on this project. #lockmaking #blacksmithing #diyprojects | Black Bear Forge

I made a little lock mechanism in the top die for @black_beard_projects power hammer dies. This will prevent the key from coming out. Very simple, but very effective. The video will get released simultaneously with his video, so it might take a while. I'll continue with the current restoration project for the main channel in the meantime. . . . #mymechanics #mymechanicsinsights #lock #mechanism #spring #dovetail #powerhammerdies #dies #blacksmith #key #sandblasted #hardened #heattreated #diy #im
