gearhartironwerks Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Hi, The firescreen was delivered today. The dragons were forged several yrs ago by my good friend Tom Dudkowski (deceased) and me using a pneumatic hammer and hand held chisels. The bronze door knocker was installed several months ago on a home in Cannon Beach,Or. Thanks for looking, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCal Dave Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 On the door knocker, is there something that knocks on the bronze plate or do you just use your hand to knock? It is very nice work and bronze can be temperamental. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gearhartironwerks Posted April 11, 2013 Author Share Posted April 11, 2013 SCDave, There is a piece of 1" r x about 3/4 tall bronze tig welded on the back of the lower starfish and the starfish are hinged to move about 2". It hits hard enough to rattle the house. I was thinking that I may have to dampen the sound, but no complaints so far. The overall length is 17". I'd much rather work in bronze than steel as it moves so nicely. Like anything, it's just a matter of getting a feel for it and keeping an eye on the heat.

Jim Coke Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Greetings John, Super nice work.... I know fire screens are a pain. I always have a problem keeping them flat.. Dragons look super and a super nice original design for your knocker... Thanx for sharing. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
