Copper Elf Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I had plans this morning to make a door knocker or two and scribbled some ideas in my pad and set off to the workshop. On the way I remembered the horseshoe I annoyingly snapped in half whilst making a heart and decided to re-purpose it. Using another shoe and half of the broken one I made this door knocker, completely different to anything I had planned before I set off.

Frosty Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Nice use for broken horse shoes, I'll bet they'd sell pretty well too. I think something a little nicer for the hinge pin would improve the overall knocker. How's it sound?Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Copper Elf Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 sounds OK, you'd know someone was at the door and, yes, someone has already shown interest in buying it. If I make another I will give a bit of thought to a nicer pin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimsShip Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Nice job!I found this pic while surfing the net for ideas, and I always liked the way they split the end of the spike to make the knocker hinge.It would also work nicely with your idea!
