Hi,
I spent over 2 days trying to make the lid of the pan fit. First I made a spring, but when it was attached it turned out to be too narrow and the lid did not open completely.
I then made a wider spring, with a bevel at the front with a shorter stroke at the top and a longer stroke at the bottom. The small spring does the last bit and secures the lid. [See drawing].
I turned the flint over so it sparks better.
Maybe another time a different angle or a slightly higher cock.
What you asked me Clowdis.
How it works
Thanks for your support
