Gday,

After breaking a few lock plates over the years, I have decided to make my own beefed up version.

What I want to achieve is smooth opperation, STRONG, light weight, simple & concealed... (Nothing worse than hair getting caught in it)

I'll let you know as I go along. Will put up as many pics as I can, as a picture tells 1000 words. I refuse to bore you with long posts on sizing / dimensions / specs etc...

Will be made using only two machines; drill press / bench grinder + various hand tools.

Cheers

I'll start with the top plate...
