    In my latest workshop project video, I needed to make a latch for the chicken coop. I took this opportunity to practice some blacksmithing techniques that I have been watching on UA-cam. I combined several different techniques and methods for this blacksmithing project. I am not considering this a pure blacksmith latch, I just needed a lock for the chicken coop, so I made one. Thank you to all the blacksmith that share their skill on UA-cam!
