Chatwood safe

Forgot how to dial the combination on that old safe? Think you got the right numbers but the handle is stuck? What safe should you buy? Ask your safe questions here!

Wish my hand-cut lever keys were that cleanly done! Keep up the great work. :D

Thank you all! It feels good to get a compliment about the key :wink:
Fingers and nails broken but a joy to turn the key of my own safe :mrgreen:

I stop today with pictures..... sorry but I want to share :oops:
Today I finished the Chatwood. Good enough to use it.
I gave the safe a antique wax to let it shine a little bit more. Also remove some white paint and other nasty stuff. The brass is not polished to shine but I left the patina. I tought it would be nicer!
Installed the lock and brass handle. So his last trip is to his final place here in this house. Happy and yes, I am chuffed! :mrgreen:
