I love old locks and cool pre-industrial revolution mechanicals. And whatever you had to do to make it was probably the same as would have been done hundreds of years ago.

Thanks for sharing

Man that's cool!

Did Vikings actually use a similar (clearly unpickable) lock?

I saw some interesting wooden locks from ancient egypt.

Thanks!
Yeah, not counting an angle grinder which is a really fast file and saw combined, I used the traditional methods.
