    Another great restoration. Always enjoy your "magic" and humor. Liked finish on lock at the end. I have seen restored locks with steely finishes, this in not accurate . Most heavy duty locks had finishes like this or were painted a flat black or gray. Great detail.

    Beautiful, and so "shiny" when you finished.I love that shine! And, a couple of times there, I thought you were going to wind up with *rust soup*, but you managed to get rid of that! Truly, it's a super restoration and congratulations on your talent and knowledge how to do It.

    Need to paint the new rivet set up . The silver of the rivets and washers stick out like a sore thumb. Painting them would make them look more like part of the design.

    This has nothing to do this but is an amusing story. My new neighbors had a big Christmas the other night. Loud, screaming, drunk people, loud music, loud talking, blocking my driveway. One guy passed out in his car that was blocking my driveway. Went on until 3:30 a.m. Cops could hear them down the road and came. The next day, I'm in my detached garage/workshop grinding a knife blade. Neighbor sticks his head up and asks me if I would mind keeping it down. So I don't. He screams at me to keep it down or he'll call the cops. So I outline that he can't, but also he had his party and the issues with that and I let it go. So he calls the cops and tells them I threatened him with the knife I was working on. Cops show up, hands on guns. Asking me questions. Rudely. Point out I never threatened him amd show them the video footage from my security camera. The cops threatened to arrest him! Come out the next day, my power is out to the shop. He jumped the fence and cut the power cable!!!. He already knew I had security cameras because the cops told him I did. So he could be seen hopping the fence, wearing his ridiculous Gucci-flage came hoodie. You don't see his face, but the hoodie is distinctive and he's jumping the fence from his backyard. Cops come. Interrogate him. Find the hoodie. Ask me if I want to have him arrested. So I said if he had an electrician come repair the line, I wouldn't. He said he wasn't doing that. My shop makes 'weapons' and that threatens him and make him feel unsafe. Yes he is one of those with the blue and green hair and 10 facial piercings. Cops explain he will have to pay for it anyways. He still refused...until they pulled out the handcuffs and he started crying and begging, then threatening me and the cops with his friends and the LGBTQ+@2S%&=%÷

    I suppose that as slotted screwdrivers are becoming obsolete then the way you use them is "acceptable" but to an old fogey like me it still does not seem right. Can I ask why you did not paint over the pins and washers on the front of the finished restoration? Why use washers in the first place? Just curious and not a criticism in any way. I'd love to get my hands on an old lock like this to have a go myself.
