[825] Tube Box Clasp With Double Tongue

This project is a slight variation on the standard box clasp, the clasp outlined here uses two tongues rather than one. This means that the clasp is much more secure, so theres no need for the figure of 8 safety mechanism which can sometimes spoil the clean lines of a piece. I learnt to make this clasp whilst at North Bennet Street School in Boston. The project shown here uses round tube with an inside diameter of 5mm to house the clasp mechanism. Of course the shape of the clasps housing can be changed to suit the bracelet or necklace design. However using tubing with an inside diameter anything smaller than 5mm would prove to be tricky, since there may not be room for a double tongue..... (2006)
