Pin with wire





It remains a matter of fitting and measuring

Hello

The drawing gives very little space.
But I now know how the lock works.
Slowly to the springs and frizzen.

They say a helicopter is “ a bunch of parts flying in close formation”. Your lock reminds me of that. A bunch of parts fitted just so as to make it work. Very nice work Adrie!

 I never thought I could make a wheellock but it is exciting.
I am busy with it but not the only one.

Top notch work Adrie!
It is hard enough making a wheellock, but one this size is So much more difficult!!

Beautiful job you are doing!!
