Viking Spring Lock

Service Description

ADVANCED CLASS! must be comfortable with power tools and able to forge weld. This project is a combination of hot and cold work. Instead of making the lock body we will use a piece of pipe that we will notch with an angle grinder. We will then hot punch a place for the shackle to tie into. We will hot forge the key and the shackle. The bolt is made of a piece of 1" round stock with a 1/4" hole drilled through the center where we will forge weld a piece of 1/4" rod that will become the actual lock mechanism with some spring steel brazed in place. We will then fiddle around with the parts until everything fits correctly before final assembly. Definitely a challenging project.
