Lesson Objectives
- How to clean and refine the lock
- How to layout the lock mortice
- How to fit the lock
- How to drill the keyhole
In this video, I’ll show you how to install a lock in the front of the toolbox. This is something we haven’t covered before on the Free Online Woodworking School, but of course it’s completely optional should you wish to omit this stage.
Series Summary
This 15 part series will teach you the processes involved in making a beautiful toolbox; because it’s about time we made something for ourselves for once!
This course builds on the basic skills learnt in the Dovetail Box Series and the Cabinet Series by introducing more intermediate skills into the equation such as mitred dovetails, tongue and groove joints, and separating a lid after glue-up. You’ll also begin learning how to use routers and router tables in a safe and effective manner.
What’s more, this design is incredibly easy to adapt to different scales to suit different applications.
