woodtick Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 I made a door knocker as a house warming gift for my brother out of material at hand. I used a section of sleigh runner iron for the main body and used a tire iron/wheel wrench for the knocker part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leah Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Very nice. I like the way you put the little scroll on the bottom of the knocker part. Did you form a tenon on it and peen it on the back? Did you rivet the loop that holds the knocker to the backplate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodtick Posted January 18, 2006 Author Share Posted January 18, 2006 Leah, yes to both questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mills Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Very Nice. It has some good lines and I really like your interpretation of the fleur-de-leis. The knocker is an really eye catching part as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
