DaveI Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Door knocker: 1/2” square bar and 1/4” X 1 1/2” bar Planter hook: 3/8” rebar and 3/4” rebar, the big hook was done a few months ago, but din’t Have anything to use it on until I started messing around with the looped &coiled end. The link is not welded. I flattened a scrap piece of the 3/4” rebar and made to square nuts, coiled bar shaft was threaded to 3/8” -16 and tapped the nuts the same. Big square washers from scrap angle iro I had laying around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 That plant hanger is quite unique, I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 My goodness ANOTHER good use of rebar outside of concrete! Attractive plant hanger nicely done. I'm especially pleased by the nuts, perfect use of one piece of steel to make something else. The rebar pattern is recognizable and the transition to something else is plainly evident. I feel this obvious transition in steel is a very marketable feature, one reason things made from RR spikes are so popular and bring good $. Well done. Frosty The Lucky.

Drunken Dwarf Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 I absolutely love the knocker. The twist is wonderfully placed and quite understated, with the peened backing bar it looks really nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ausfire Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Nice use of rebar. Drawing out that 3/4 bar would have taken some energy. I like the cross pattern on that big rebar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MurphyD Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Both items are cool, I'm going to try something like your plant hanger there is so much scrap rebar laying around on job sites that I can have it doesn't matter if I screw some up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
