One of my more interesting jobs

Had to open up an antique chest today and make a key for the lock. Very simple warded lock open in about 30 seconds with a well shaped wire.

I love this kind of work, back to basics, locksmithing at its best, working on a handmade lock that some long dead craftsman probably knocked up in his garden workshop. There looks to be a name scratched on the back but i can only make out the letter 'A'

That's awesome and it always makes me happy to see something like that put back into use instead having a cheap hardware store replacement slapped in.

The key looks great. how did you make it?
