Post Body

Jeff Moss has a nice vintage Yale 840 that was complete - original pins, a working key, a nice lock.... It only had one little issue. It had no shackle. I have had some video and pictures of the process that I have never really shared with anyone but Jeff, but I thought I'd share then now since i have them...

Here is part 1

Here is part 2

And here are several pictures of me going through the process of building a replacement shackle for his lock.

I hope some folks find some of it interesting and maybe even learn a bit from it.
