I'll be making an air rifle carry/storage case. I was going to use a lunch-box type latch to keep it closed - it won't need a lot of force to keep it closed, so a couple of those would work nicely. I've already found a good source, thats not the question.
I've decided I'd like to make my own latches, instead of buying them. No, I'm not so cheap I don't want to spend the money, I'd just rather make my own. The case will be stored standing up, and next to some more cases. That means the latches, or catches if you want to call them that, can't protrude on the sides - the ends won't matter. The top would be limited to about 1/2", because they'll be stored in a limited height space. Also, I don't want something you take a part out to open it, because that's an annoyance to keep track of. And, no, I don't want anything on a string either. Oh yeah, it doesn't need to take a padlock.
I've got several ideas on the subject, they'll all work - and, I've been googing like Hell, but wonder if anyone here can some up with something I've not thought of. I was going to mention a few of my ideas, then decided not, I'd rather see what you all can come up with instead. For proof it ain't rocket science, I just came up with probably my best idea, while I was typing this paragraph.
OK, any usable ideas on this?
If you decide to respond, for the Gods sakes, don't copy this whole damn post, snip. And, if you don't know how, learn., Yeah, I know, some of you do snip, but way too many don't.
