Custom Door Knocker...

Machined from heat treated 7/16" bronze. Softened brass is what I was after, but when presented the opportunity this seemed to cool. Of course, once I got it in the vice and started feeding it drill bits I felt a little foolish... alot harder than I imagined. Heavier than an Altoid tin full of nickels, and for all intended purposes indestructable. Built to accomodate a variety of full power knocking styles. Here she is in various stages of refinement.

Thanks! I used a drill press and angle grinder for the outline. Not much hand filing, though it was important to the process. Dremel work mostly. It is rather primitive, but I have the finish smooth enough for the cotton wheel where I've cut. Left a patina on the rest.

10 hours give or take. I have a method worked out so the next one won't take as long... hopefully.

Wrong forum. Although some states allow carry of metal knuckles with a CCW.

AZ allows anyone to CC or OC guns I think it applies to most weapons.

Re: Custom Door Knocker...

Awsome work! I'd carry a set all the time if they were legal in the UK. If you've not got a good punch, these would give you a helping hand, nut if you know how to use your fist's, these are devastating weapons. I'd hate to be on the business end of that :boxing: :axeem:
