Stitch Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 I made a set of tree branch door pulls inspired by Chandler Dickinson on the 4th. I used 1" C.R.S. that was given to me by a friend. I will be making another set for my brother soon. Thanks go out to Chandler for his generous sharing and his great videos. Stitch Mod Note: Link removed due to language.

Lionel h Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Very nice , that gives me an idea that I need a set for my shop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Ling Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 cool! only thing I would have done differently would have been to use a clear lacquer, I like to see the steel, just think it looks better, but obviously there are people who like the paint too, which is perfectly fine!

Jasent Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Great job. I may try these my self. I enjoy watching Chandler as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stitch Posted July 6, 2017 Author Share Posted July 6, 2017 Thanks guys! I finished them with Graphite powder and Olive oil to make a paste. Applied and then buffed off with a cotton cloth. I then gave them 2 coats of clear lacquer. Just enough to seal and give them a hint of shine which did not show up in the pics. I've never used black paint on my forgings. I really like these on my shop. Stitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLAG Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Excuse my ignorance. But what does c. r. s. stand for. I looked it up on the net and got , Catholic Relief Services, Common Reporting Standard, (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Reporting_Standard) I do not think that these definitions are correct. Also, where are you. You are selling treadle hammer. And location is important information for a potential purchaser. Looking forward to a reply. Thank you.

Glenn Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Cold Roll Steel ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Yeah, CRS typically stands for two things on in the blacksmith community, "Cold Rolled Steel" or "Can't Remember . . . Stuff" Nice pulls, well done. I think I would've broken the edges a bit more those look a little sharp for my taste. That is a matter of taste, not a comment on the craftsmanship. Frosty The Lucky.

Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 I've suffered from CRS since my 40s. That's why I still carry my pocket note book that my wife calls my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLAG Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Hammerperson, c.n.s. stands for central nervous system Right? SLAG. Just trying to be of a little help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHCC Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Yup, that's A-OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLAG Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 JHCC, A-OK Is that systolic or diastolic? Or you're just not saying? SLAG. Oh yes: thank you for your reply. I'll stop now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stitch Posted July 6, 2017 Author Share Posted July 6, 2017 C.R.S. = Cold rolled steel. I used it because it was free. I usually work in Wrought Iron or H.R.S. (hot rolled steel). Thanks guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Ling Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 ooohhh etched wrought iron would have been cool for this. Littleblacksmith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beammeupscotty Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 If I were doing this project I think I would either used tenons into counter sunk holes in the back plate or plug welded the handles on to the back plate. That way, no welds would show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
