Thanks are due to Rat & DP as well, for giving me good reason to try a couple of things I'd never done before - most notably, working with brass. I learned a number of new things, and got to finish off a piece that made me happy - and moreso because they like it!!!

I find it disturbing that you're imagining me in a sauna, never mind the teletubbie aspect of it

At one point in the process, I asked Nate for photo tips, since I figured he had more experience than me at photographing very glossy items.
Don't know if its a reflection (

) on him or me that I never did any better at dealing with the glare...
And yes, this place is pretty damn cool.

Rat, your excerpt resonated with me as I endured much the same. Glad you found your safe place. And a proper knocker!
It's a beaut
And thanks for educating me about the Krampus. I can't believe I didn't already know. Maybe I just forgot that I knew, who knows.

Wow. Amazing work T-Forge!
And to you to DP.
Rat, what I basically want to say, without pointing this thread towards a lock, is that I hope all those who use the knocker are welcome and bring nothing but good karma into the home.
Thanks for sharing the history behind it too - at your unfortunate expense.
