tapped my first ever lock bolt today. Of course it was done free hand at the kitchen table amongst supper dishes :nono: worked out just great (i think) Bolt just kisses the barrel bottom, broke out by little enough that the wood was translucent.
The second bolt, the one into the bolster, was already drilled/tapped as it is a used lock. Not ideal placement but it will do.
Bolster is almost in contact with the barrel but will wait fot sunlight to carry on.
Really looking forward to tracing my lock panels on and getting too shaping. Only 3 more months till bear season, might just be done by then.
