Sterling Silver Handmade Padlock
Thanks for looking at my entirely handmade fully functional sterling silver padlock. This lock is made by myself Braidie Butters of B. Butters Silver. This is a project that I have been wanting to complete and finally had the opportunity to make it for the 2015 Emerging Artist Contest hosted by the TCAA (Traditional Cowboy Arts Association). My lock was the winner of the Silversmith contest.
There are many different procedures and disciplines all within this one project including but limited to forging, forming, soldering, engraving, and sculpting. The hummingbird is made from a die that I handmade myself. The lock mechanism and the springs and screws are also all made from silver and made...

    Exceptional workmanship. You did your homework well on the early padlock design. I especially like how you have taken a style found in some pocket watches where you can view the inner workings.

      Thank you! I have always wondered what a lock looks like inside, partially what inspired me to learn about them and make this project happen. Thanks for your time and comment.
