Barn door handles

[great white tj]

I started on two door handles today. Cube twist turned out nice, now to weld up everything to a backing plate.

Nice work

What brand anvil is that? I wish you'd post more about how you did the work, it looks interesting...great work.

The cube twist has got my curiosity as to how it was made. Nice work

This video does a better job of explaining the cube twist than I could put into words.

thanks for the info. It looks like a bit of work, but I grasp the idea.

Well this is the coolest thing I have seen all day... Made me want to build a forge, any recommendations for a buildplan to follow?

Nice! I've been looking for an excuse to do one of those since I saw the Diresta video.

Sorry guys, I am late getting back.. The anvil is a HB, here are some pic. I use a 3" cutting wheel to score each side and to cut the cubes then I just heat and twist. There is another good video of making a cube twist on you tube. Look up Dirty Smith... very nice work.

ChargerRT, I have a post here on the building of my forge. It's under Build a forge with little $$$.

Man that is super awesome

 

[fourjeepin]

Wow! How many hours do you spend per handle? And could you use a grinder to cut the steel instead of the forge and chisel? Not that I expect to make any, just curious.

 

[stinkity stoink]

That is great work!!!!!! You make it look easy ,which I am sure it isn't.

 

[Ancient Iron]

That's cool, I like it
