The other day I learned a safer way to route the shackles for my wooden padlocks.
I routed these bare handed with out even a starter pin. I knew I better stop untill I learned a better way.DSCF0181.JPG
This is also a test to see if I learned how to upload images.:D
Thanks for looking
 
Hello The safer method was suggeswted by Carol Reed on another thread. I will hot glue another piece of wood with a handle on the shackle and guide it around by the handles.

The only stain is on the shackle of the square lock. The combo lock shackle is purple heart, the large part of the dial is paduke the center of the dial as is the lock body is made of paralam material.

I think I'm going to hang the a lock around my neck like Flavor Flave as a fashion statement. :D

Look for Tim Detwielers book "Making Working Wooden Padlocks" He wrote 2 one is out of print
