I don't know, it is kinda skimpy but might prove to make for some interesting designs ( a great conservation of matter experiment!) Although I have an inkling feeling that maybe Sam had a particular design in mind when he quoted the materials.....  Alright, I've never liked doing animal shaped work.... but if I get this railing project I'm lining up squared away, I might give it a shot. What's the end date? -Aaron @ the SCF  |

"it is a GO. Materials you have to use are (1) 12 inch peice of 1/2 inch square hot rolled and (1) 1 inch wide 1/4 thick peice of flat bar 6 inches long. GO TO IT!" I interpret that as having to incorporate those two items into the final product, not as a sparse limitation. Paul, looks like you got the head start, just use the length of 1/2" square for the turkey head/knocker thingy |

Ahh it would be fun to just use those 2 peices!

Sam, you created that monster. It is doable. Looking in Bealers book, a very simple one could use just the 1/2 inch bar  the turkey head is another matter.

Funny, i just finished a knocker - anniversary present for my wife. Wrong material, though: dragonfly forged from 1-1/2"X3/16"thk angle, mounted to a 1-1/2"X3/16"thk flatbar plate. I'll probably post a pic on the Farwestforge.com "forgemagic" page when I get it mounted |

Why not just post it in the IForgeIron Gallery? There are some 4,922 images posted there already that have 2,216,071 views. There were 43 new images posted in just the last two days. The Gallery does work and there are people using it. Show us your work, we would like to see it. Another advantage of using the IForgeIron Gallery is that the gallery automatically resizes the image, creates a thumbnail. You can simply copy the link below the gallery photo and insert it into your forum post.

I am working on a rattlesnake knocker made from a spike. I want to work on or finish it tonite. maybe I will search the scrap pile for the materials and make one. time is the hardest material right now.
