Looks great Jim. Well executed. Let us know as soon as you start producing enough to sell to your friends on the forum. I know I’ll be on the phone to Katherine immediately.....

Good stuff Jim!

[BruceH]

Looking forward to trying one out in the future.  One thing though, I would like to know the lock size. 

Keep up the good work.

Jim,
Great work.  In my mind I thought the CNC locks would be coming down the road, but just waiting to see when.  They will be great products for builders to use resulting in a better finished product with a shorter build time.

Fantastic lock!

Will the fly-less locks be available for purchase?

Thanks, and good luck with your new
 endeavor.

i'm looking forward to all this stuff.

I'm not a builder. I'm also left handed, and have chosen to limit my flintlock purchases to LH only. As a result...I'm not currently a potential customer for your products. All that said...I really enjoyed the video. I got a lot of good information from it about locks, lock architecture and build quality points to look at. It was time well spent. I'm looking forward to getting one of your CNC locks in my hand to feel the mechanism and look it over up close..again...not because I'm contemplating purchasing a RH lock...but as a learning experience. Down the road...if you offer LH products we will certainly be talking.
Thank you and best wishes in this new endeavour.

That Buckeye engineering degree is showing in the details.  Awesome.  The locating pins on the bridle, are those an "original" detail or a modern. Either way another way to make the lock better.  Congratulations to you and Cathryn

Glad to see this and the focus on total,absolute quality control is a refreshment to me.
Looks like a job well thought out and to a degree only recently available thanks to CNC
machine techniques.

Thanks.  A pinned bridle is a historically correct detail.  This is seen on a lot of good quality original locks.  Yes, the engineering background helps as does working in shops where things are manufactured.  Exciting times here for us!

All the best,
Jim

Sure.  We could sell you one.  We have a few tumblers left with this configureation.

Thanks everybody.  Just a quick update for those who have placed an order.  We're probably going to be ready to start shipping in 2-3 weeks. 

Also, we're working on a Ketland style import lock from the 1800-1810 timeframe.  I'll post another short video showing the 3D model here soon.  I expect this lock to be ready in 2-3 months.

Thanks again!
Jim

Well done Jim, I'm very impressed with the Quality and tolerences of the lock.

Having done my own CAD/CAM mainly using Feature Cam loaded to HAAS lathes and mills in the Air Force I can fully appreciate your product. Looks like outstanding quality. Please keep keep us left handed people in mind with at least a large Siler style.
