Strong Box

[Caddybago]

Finished up a imitation Wells Fargo strong box for my brother in law last night as the snow flew.
Tonight I have to make a key for the 1895 lock to put on it.

Welcome to GJ!

Very cool first post!

What's the inside look like?

 

[Caddybago]

Thanks
I lined the bottom and sides with oak barnwood. But haven't done anything in the top yet.

More to the point, does he have the requisite gold bars to fill it with!

 

[Caddybago]

That's up to him, he has the money (Dr.) I am just the welder.

Cool project. Looking forward to seeing the key.

Awesome build! Looks great.

Well here is the key in a semi finished state.
The Miller patent pancake lock has a push key that is flat and just pushes in the lock
to trip the levers.
It is now opening smoothly after much filing in my small vice.

Sorry for the crappy picture, maybe this one will show the key.
