Box clasp

Yes your solution is better than mine Joseph, but the front edge of the slot must be accurately placed, or the catch will be slack when closed. Dennis.

Thank you! I think that is probably exactly what it needs, I'm off till next week now but I'll try it when I'm back

Perfect!

Ganoksin is an absolutely awesome resource, but I personally find it horrible to navigate search and use.

Certainly not knocking it, just a personal view.

Once you've found what you're after - you're usually sorted.

As with many things, I don't use the search function on the site, I leave it to Google to index it... Means I can usually feed slightly more complex search expressions in too. Gave up on the conversation side ages back when the signal to noise ratio deteriorated badly.

That particular one is part of Revere's Professional Goldsmithing book, which covers a lot of other constructions too. Expensive, but very worthwhile.

That's the same as the style on at the bench, would be perfect if I was making the whole thing but trying to fit an already existing section is no fun! I think it needs the notches on this particular clasp

Mmm. You'll find a few like that from Professional Goldsmithing

Worth building a few to understand the mechanism better.
