January 5, 201511 yr Hello folks. I have been working on a project and thought I would share some photos. Rings are 61/2" and I started with 1 1/4 round.
January 5, 201511 yr Author They are for barn style doors. The building is really just a party or get together place and the doors will be closed most of the time.They will screw to the doors and when closed the wedge keeps them that way.They will be at the bottom and will also assist in keeping the doors aligned where they come together. The doors get a pull inside and out.
January 5, 201511 yr Nice work. Did you drill a hole part way threw on the ring pull block on both sides so the ring does not rotate and wedge due to the tapers?
January 5, 201511 yr Author Exactly Jeremy. I found it mch more presentable than my attempt at pulling a tenon on the ends.
January 5, 201511 yr John, Nice job. Did you make a ball swage for the mid bar ball or freehand it? Peter
January 5, 201511 yr Very nice work. I've been wanting to try those wedge locks ever since I saw they on the Greene Bros. house.
January 5, 201511 yr Author Thanks folks.I did make a swage for my hammer Peter. I do as much as I can with the power hammer. I had 16 of the pulls and 4 of the wedge assemblies to make.I also made the hardware to hang the doors. I will get some photos when I am finished.
