Thank you for posting the pictures. Wheellocks are fasinating! I hope to try to make one someday. I have read Lauber's book several times and I think the shaping of the axel is the hardest part to visualize.

Best regards

Rolf

You may be the most prolific hand made lock maker of our day.  I enjoy your 'adventures'.

The trigger and the double sear are just like an English flintlock, and much more robust than the ordinance quality locks most Civil War muskets have in the UK. You are inspiring me to hammer out some more parts for my early trade gun project.

Do you forge you parts or do you cut them from bars and sheet steel?

I've seen and admired your work on youtube for several years now.  You're a artist and craftsman from a different time.  Please keep posting pictures of your work!
