JTTHECLOCKMAN Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 Why would you want to make out of wood?? If you want to just copy what you have and have at it. Pretty self explanatory and no pattern needed. If you are a woodworker and have the tools you should be able to make that. The latch maybe the tricky part. Go to Home Depot and take some photos. I bet they have something close. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray I did not notice that so I am guessing no Home Depots??? My point is he did not post what he wanted to use it for. If this is an outdoor thing on a fence gate then why wood. Get something that will stand up to weather. Now if this is for a project that is smaller in scale and indoors you still need more tools than a scrollsaw to pull it off was my point. Now because I do not draw well and can not make patterns, I suggest 2 levers or bars on both sides of the fence tied together so that what you do from one side the other side operates too. Simple latch. That is all I have without more info. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCtoolguy Posted April 10, 2018 Report Share Posted April 10, 2018 (edited) Have any of you folks ever watched any of the videos made by Matthias Wandel? He makes woodworking equipment out of wood and does very nice work. Along with being an engineering genius. His folks had some cabins on a lake up in Canada that he has inherited and he is fixing them all up to use as guest cabins. He made some unique wooden latches for them. Do a search on youtube for his name and also his website. Very interesting. Here is his website. https://woodgears.ca/ Ray Edited April 10, 2018 by octoolguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
