Awwwww ... that's soooooo sweet!

About two and a half months early perhaps, but what does that fake "holiday" mean anyway, when love is an around the clock and around the calender kind of thing!!!

What a sweet idea, well done Lenn !

Quite interested in the internal locking mechanism, any chance of an explanation/illustration of that part?

Well done Lenn.

You definitely manage to stay busy.

Did you come up with the design yourself?

Today we made a padlock that dates to the Viking era.
Here`s a link to the original.

Great job on that padlock Lenn !!!

Believe that i´ve seen something similar in our local Viking Museum (which is built right beside an old 400-1000 A.D. burialground).
Will see if i can remember to shoot a picture of it, when attending the annual Viking market there next summer.
