Description My rather decent replica of the viking age tool chest from Mastermyr on Gotland. All hand made with a functioning lock. The metal parts that required hammer work was made with my self-made germanic style hammer.

The wood is spruce, with plugs made from juniper.
The finish was made of a mix of linseed oil, homemade tar and powdered bog iron ore.

Is there a pattern for the locking mechanism ...?

Thank you. The only pattern of the lock is sadly in the chest that the blacksmith school owns. No paperwork that I know of. There might be a pattern in the Mastermyr chest book, though.

kan säga att jag flera gånger om dagen tittar på denna bilder och inspirerar mig själv till att skulla göra kistor och andra "möbler" dock i lite senare modeller

Hä bar' sätt igång, som de säger häromkring! Kan rekommendera boken Medieval Furniture och andra titlar av samma författare. Roligt att kunna vara inspirerande.
