Took a break today because of all the hammerwork yesterday. Went to a renn faire(big mistake but it did remind me why I don't like them) and to a botanical show. Well, after getting home I decided to do a bit of forge work Made a few more nails and worked more on the lock plate. The lock plate is almost done with only about 30 minutes of work left but my arm gave out. Shouldn't take that much time to finish shaping the lock plate. So, my plan for tomorrow is to finish shaping the plate and punch the holes for the nails. As a reminder, this is what the previous lock plate looked like. This one should me about the same, just about 1/2" - 3/4" taller to compensate for me making the lock larger than the original.
