This is a couple door pulls I'm making. These are pictures of the start of them, they are 3/4" square bar 12" long to start with. The center is chiseled and twisted, then the spade shape is formed on the ends, then the taper from the twist to the spade is done, for a total length of 17-1/2" in length. Collars will be made for the ends of the twists, and this is were the stand offs will be for the attachment of the mounting plates ( they will also have the spade shape on the ends when finished). I will post more progress, as they proceed. - JK


Also, a picture of the play house this hardware is going on.

They look quite sharp so far! Those ends are particularly nice!

Sharp looking is right! Those are going to really dress up a couple doors.

Frosty The Lucky.

Very nice indeed, anxious to see the progress !

Amazingly clean and precise work, kudos!

Looking good so far !

Are these two isolated doorpulls or a pair for a double door ?

If they were for a double door set up I would have considered doing a right hand twist on one and a left hand twist on the other, focuses the eye on them.

nice point john.... they look beautiful jk - i love the ends and the fact of the taper rather than just twist - theyre great! show us what you do with them....
ps met your friend fat pete last night with his wife as they are over here quite near us, really nice people, and a very laughing man - a good laugh on him! but i have to reveal everyone, not at all fat! not at ALL!?

John - You're definately correct, on the opposite twists if they were to be mounted on the same side. These will be on the opposite sides of the door from each other.

Beth - That's great, I knew he was going across the pond this fall. I'm glad you were able to meet him, - Yes he is a good boy full of laughs .

Here are some more pictures of the door pulls and the window latches I had to custom make for a weird window arrangement ( windows hinge at the top with little room on frames to mount latches/handles). I forged the mounts for the window latchs "after" i slide it through the hinge, that made for some fun. I will be replacing the door hingles that are miss matched that they bought before talking to me, they like my stuff a bit better than the hinges they found and installed on the door.

nice!

Here is a picture of the play house all the hardware is on, along with the offset outer window hinges. This whole play house is not square as you can see - it was a build as they went deal with no print and is suppose to be made asscue. The door handle ends match match the king post bottom (per owners request). What's next? - door latch/lock, rivet heads for the door, curtain rods, and other misc. items.

That's just awsome !
I love the play house and the ironwork you added.
I'm a big fan of "not square" (when it's meant to be that way).

Great job !
Please keep posting if you add more ironwork !

naz - me too - how mellow is that house - i would love to move right in therre..

jk the work looks GREAT! it is very fitting on that wow litle cabin, what a sweet job to dresss that all up. youve done beautifully as usual. that door handle is so cool... :)

Excellert job,in all respects,man,congratulations!

Cute little cabin,for sure-i was wondering at what kinda place would have such interesting joinery,and you've finally posted that overall photo-looks great.Must be a plasure to outfit something like that!

That's awesome Jeremy! Really like the way your hardware complements the.... whats the best way to describe the play house...whimsical? Any way Great job I know my kids would get a kick out of it.

I have started making a slide bolt (5/8" round stock) for the outside of the door so they can use a large padlock they bought elsewhere to lock the door from the outside. Here are a few pics of the start of that bolt. The bolt will be able to be locked open or closed. Locked open will prevent someone from locking it with someone "inside" the play house. - JK

looks great jk - looks like its made of liquorice or something, sweets, (candy in your world ?) i told you - its going to be the gingerbread house!! hope theres not a witch in there to fatten up the kids...
