This is a bed side lock box I made as a Christmas gift for my daughter. It's all red oak pinned and glued. But for the hinges there are no screws or nails. No modern fasteners at all. I think it came out nice and she liked it so that's all that counts.
The locking mechanism is a pad lock cut apart and buried into the wood. I used my router table with a 1/2 inch stright bit. I only had to make two attempts at it. I hit it dead on the second time. It took me 25 hours to do the job. There was much more work here that I ever thought!!! The smile on her face was worth every hour!!!
