    Reference for Lock Types and Styles?

    Ditto on the Torsten Lenk book, I might add that it's worth the few extra $ for the hardback version, the photo quality is MUCH better. You can usually find a decent used copy for between $20 and $40.

    Solid rib? File a flat on the rib and also a flat on the underside of the pipe, be careful not to rock the file, you want a true flat. If you round the edges you create a gap.

    Clay Hand Crank Forge. (Farrier type)

    Lining the bottom is a good idea, if exposed to cold weather it helps prevent the pan from cracking and retains your heat. Next time try mixing some wood ash with your clay, the clay alone will often bake to a glassy hard surface, when the ash is added it will be much easier to repair cracks etc
