Thanks Nate. I too was challenged in making a mechanical lock for the first time. It took a bit of fine tuning to get the small oak sticks to slide correctly and some adjustments of pivot points and cam sizes and locations. By the time I was on the third piece it became routine and the next time I do some concealed projects it will be a snap.
