I needed someplace to put my lock collection and I made the Slant Top Desk/Secretary years ago with the idea of using the top for just that purpose.
Here’s the first project I posted on Lunberjocks:
In fact if you look at the at the above project you can see some locks sitting on the second shelf.
I just took a piece of Peruvian walnut, added a couple of pieces on the back to hold it at the proper angle.
Then just a lot of laying out and drilling holed.
These are all High Security locks. Each has a different type of key. None is your standard front door key.
The panels can be removed so that I can add locks as I acquire them. The top shelf is just waiting for the bottom two to get full.

My boss would pay you for locks. Being a locksmith myself and somewhat of a collector also I likes.

Kudos to Charlie for saying what was thought by more than admit. I am in the group that never thought about people collecting locks.

Do you have anything you think I might be interested in?
