See if you can locate a copy of "The Spruce Forge Manual of Locksmithing". It is a small paperback book on forging locks. It's not a great book, but it shows you what you need to know about making a basic tumbler and so on. Last time I looked, it was back in print, so maybe Judy Berger carries it. Her business is called Blue Moon Press, but the only website I could find was unfinished and half hijacked, it appeared. Judy shows up at all the bigt blacksmiths meets, or you can call her at (866) 627-6922.
Ray, See if you can locate
