The Creation of a Turret Clock

Good stuff, bad stuff...

  I took a few days off of work to relax after being on the road so much.  So today I went back to working on the forge.  I was able to get the cross wards on the lock plate.  They are riveted in place and other than one or two small problems, came out pretty well.  Then, I discovered a problem with the key.  In my rush to try out the key for the first time a few weeks back, I had cut away too much metal.  I MAY have been able to get the current key to work but the problem is that I would only know after about 3-6 hours of filing.  So, I decided to stop where I was and make a new key.  There will definitely be complications having to redo the key at this point but its part of the learning experience.  I figure that this will be a lose of 8-16 hours.
