New Bouncers

Gary,

I did turn my own handles but I am not really adept at that skill. I was pleased at how it turned out though. I found a online source for these reproduction antique porcelain door knobs.

Tim, Here are a couple that I have made in the last couple of days., The larger flatter one is a porcelain cabinet knob and the other rounder one is an ivory knob that i found. I have several of them since i found out they are real ivory I am slowly buying them all up at the resell store(a store that resells items from a house that has been renevated or torn down and the parts salvaged.). They do not know they are ivory and i have not told them yet or the price will go up 10 fold. I turn the handles out of bubinga and use a brass compression fitting and turn it on my lather after I have turned the hande enough to place it on and keep it in place by drilling it and then screwing the knob into the handle with a little super glue to keep it in place . then I finish turning the handle. I think they come out nice and I have you to thank. Had you not put your pics up I would not have went to the resell store looking for door knobs. so Thanks alot for the insperation. I have a couple of people that are wanting some so I guess I will make some and see if i can sell them. Gary
