It was freezing here this morning, with a wind that would shave the hair off a gooseberry. I still decided to have a look round. Found two things. This Mappin Necklace Watch and a beautiful hand carved Indian box. Unfortunately the lock keep of the box was broken so I spent the rest of this morning making a new one. I have to fix car boot finds straight away otherwise they would never get done.
Here is the procedure I used to make the new keep. Glad I never got rid of any old tools. I found a key to fit too.
The box is 8x4x41/2 inches. Beautifully hand carved mahogany:
I hope you like it.
