Linear drawer pull: created using 3/4 in aluminum rod bent on a metal bender by hand, dimpling the surface with a nail pusher. I wanted to throw it up the images just to get the idea across. The finish of the pull is rough as is the drawer but here is the basic idea.

I have wanted to make a horse bit be a handle forever.

Here it comes.

Some might ask, "why didn't you just put a bit in a mold?'

The answers are 1) You have to be able to get it out of the mold

2) Shrink. Every time you pour metal into a mold it shrinks when it cools.

So if we put the real piece into a mold, by the time we make production models, and a full mold full of pieces it will have shrunk 2X and be too flimsy.

So

I had to recreate the bit as a solid sculpture that could be released from the mold, and take 2 shrinks without getting skimpy.

Shrink is a bit of science and experience, with your best guess.

I am pretty good at the shrink guess.

Now I will be looking for a tack box to photograph the new pull on.

It would be wonderful in a number of applications, but tack box is my #1 choice.

[Before] Changing the drawer pulls was an easy way of updating our bathroom with very little expense. The old pulls were a little dated and didn't match the other fixtures in the room.

(The color in this one is way off — I took it in jpeg mode instead of RAW on accident.)

Found in the junk drawer.
