Here I document making a wooden door latch for my wood fired timber frame sauna. Connect on social media: / salemwoodworks / salemwoodworks / stuff-i-made
@@SalemWoodworks No channel anywhere is troll-free, lol. But I kinda get his point. This video is nothing more than entertainment since 99% of people out there don’t have a CNC machine. Nice design and you definitely show your skills, but c’mon man. Seriously, lol.
A beautiful latch, for sure. Lot's of effort, but a novice like me can still get a good idea of how to do something similar, with less machinery. Question: why did you include a lever? Why not just a knob attached to the dowel? Does it give extra clearance? Leverage? Anyhoo, I'm watching a lot of your videos these days as I'm just starting my own timber frame structure here in Japan. Looking to learn! Cheers.
Honestly, the lever was just a novelty. It was inspired by interior knobs that use a lever. A simple knob would work fine. Really like that you're following from Japan. Next year I hope to add an Ofuro style tub on a deck in front of the sauna.
I watched a few other videos, but don't recall that this mechanism was specifically inspired by any one maker. I just kind of figured it out as I went along.
Nice design. Well engineered. Now I’ll just pull out my CNC machine (that we all have laying around) and make one for myself. 🤦♂️ Sorry but the title is just a little misleading. Should be called “Making an Amazing Wooden Door Latch (with my CNC machine)” and then people will know this is for entertainment and not education/DIY.
And here was me naively thinking this was going to be a hand made item lovingly crafted with skill. NO, switch on the CNC machine and go for a coffee.
And then there was me, thinking my channel was troll-free.

Always been a big fan of wood mechanisms with cams
Sorry, maybe I missed it, did you credit Matthias for the idea? It’s a good video, and get to see how it made. Thanks.

Love the simple cam design. Like you, I’m a fan of levers. Cheers from Adelaide Hills, Australia

There are always other ways to achieve the same result. It would take longer, but this could be made with hand tools.
