So, actually inspired by a key I was making for Eofor, I was browsing ebay for vintage locks, and I found an affordable padlock in India, saw a brass accent and thought, it may be made to look like Dale. I got the lock, engraved it and here it is, prepared to serve as my smithy lock

I will modify the key and forge myself a nice latch too. Sk to be continued. If you want an item like this, modified by me, don't hesitate to ask

Brilliant...
Another inspiring well done project.

I bought a number of these type of locks years ago to make "old West" strong boxes, still have a few left.
I think now they will have to change form for a different time and place.

BTW Amazon also sells some Indian padlocks.

That is awesome! The dragon motif is particularly well-done and very appropriate! :mrgreen:

I know I said it it via PM Petr but I can't tell you how much I love this. Upcycling is probably one the most underutilized talents a person has available to them (though few could do it to this level)
