BryanL Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 These are my first two attempts at door handles. One was really just an excuse to try a pineapple twist. It has become clear to me I need lots of practice with hammer control, doing shoulders and making things match up. Very fun though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridgewayforge Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Not bad at all! I like the straight bar, but are you going to punch the holes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BryanL Posted December 27, 2015 Author Share Posted December 27, 2015 I'll probably drill these since I waxed them already. I do want to try punching on the next one, as I haven't yet. Which brings up deciding on a hole diameter when I don't have screw's for them picked out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Go pick out some screws fit for gate handles. Make a counter punch so you can make counter sunk screw holes. Counter punch then through punch it for the screw. Getting twists even is a challenge that doesn't go away with time. If you have a torch I recommend using it to heat where you need it. Twisting also needs you to be fast, the heat in the bar doesn't remain even long the wrench and vise are very effective heat sinks. Nice job. Frosty The Lucky.
