The work on the bracket was so clean - you made that fold-over on itself so smooth. True mastery right there.

I love the design.  It looks detailed, yet is pretty simple. Great demo, I am putting this in my "wanna do" file.

God bless y'all! Thank you for being willing to show that not every piece turns out perfect. It helps those starting out to know that even the pros make pieces with character.

Great work Roy ! Maybe some simple engraving on the flat parts would be a nice addition 😄

[johnhenkel]

Nice piece Roy. Thanks for the lesson. I really want to try this one. It would look great on one of my doors!

[ffolted]

Good stuff Roy, thanks for the video.I can see scaling this down and make some cool cabinet pulls.My minds eye sees a decorative hot collar on the bottom of the ring for some extra coolness factor.I did something similiar a few years ago but I left some flats on the twist around the ring and stamped the peoples names on the flats.... a very nice way to personalize the work for a specific customer...keep em coming Roy...

I love it! This is definitely going on my blacksmithing bucket and from there to my front door! 😁 I might put a seperate square or round piece of metal just where the ring hits the door to protect the UPVC door and back a bigger bang so if I'm working at the back of the house I can hear or my dogs can who are my current door bell LOL 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Love this piece! Definitely saving this vid for future reference.
Thank you Roy!

Thank you my auto tech teacher has been asking me to make him one of these for a while but I didn’t know of a simple design for for one. As always love the content and keep up the great work.

[johnjude]

Ok to teach what not to do, If you don't I'll have to figure it out,
Thanks Roy

You can probably safely skip giving measurements in both metric AND Imperial.

There are tons of conversion calculators out there and most measurement tools incorporate both.

Really enjoy your videos.
