This is great! I know that most houses do not need interiors, because play does not need to happen within them, but it pleases me that the doors can open and close, anyway.

Brilliant idea with the hinges! Thanks for sharing. Tip: I use beading jumprings for handle or rond tip pliers to form them quick and easy.

I make chain mail. to make your ring you need to wrap it around a mandrel several times then cut it off. Put a 8p nail in a vice and wrap it around that since you're making such tiny rings. You won't have to fight it that way. 2d. If you heat your wire red hot and let it cool you will have annealed it and made it more playable.

Awesome! I will definitely take that advice, thank you sir👍

As an erstwhile beader I can tell you it’s possible to hold part of the knocker (opposite the ends) with a smaller pair of pliers. It works. Great tutorials btw - learning heaps! Thank you!

Your videos are so high quality and there’s not anyone doing what your doing that I’ve seen. We get a lot of wargames terrain which is what I like. But we don’t see a lot of interior work and usable doors and the like. Don’t give up! I can’t wait to see the channel grow.

Hey, Neil, my hands shake and my fingers hurt just watching you do this! Now THAT's REAL instruction. Holding my breath.... :0) Donna B.

I think if you get a pair of jewelry pliers, which are tiny and have no texture to mar the wire, you can make the door hardware much more easily, including probably making a ring on the inside of the door handle. The cold forging of the clip to make the door was very, very clever.

A jeweller’s tip for making rings. Wind the wire around the shaft of a drill bit of the required diameter to the number of rings you want ( ie if you want 2 rings, wind it fully round and past the start point twice) ) with a 1” tail at the start and end lying perpendicular to the drill shaft and just over 180 degrees apart. Use a jewellers coping saw or fine blade fret saw and cut along the wire perpendicular to the coil (along the shaft of the drill). You can also use sharp flush cutters to cut each ring off as you need it. I usually keep broken drill shafts of various sizes for this purpose. Each ring will fall off with the ends slightly offset which can easily be separated further by gripping the ring across one end and 180 degrees across the diameter and twisting the other end away from the gripped end. Closing the ring uses the same method by twisting the unclamped end back into line rather than pinching them together. This will save your fingers from pinches and also reduce the chance of the ring flying off into the darkest corner if the pliers slip causing hours of frustration as you look for a tiny ring.

This method also prevents having your ring distorted in shape as you struggle to close it!

12:45 a Tip , try winding up some wire around a pencil or smaller rod than cut it into open rings . Method used to make Chain Mail rings xD

Nicely Done looks great.

You do awesome work!

Easy way is to wind it around a rod of the size hole you require. Wrap it around at least how many round wire circles you need plus 1/2 dozen times. Slide it off the rod and jewellers hacksaw down the middle of the coil and it will fall into multiple circles that just need closing with pliers (sideways). Really much easier!

As a hobby blacksmith, and working with much bigger scale, I use my angle grinder to cut a big spring right down the center and presto you have many perfect rings!! This will work with smaller springs as well, no need to wrap that way. Love your builds by the way!!!!

Great tutorial.

Yeah I hear ya on the soldering wire. Problem might be on the hinge itself not being strong enough and a little too flexible. Although it's definitely worth a try! May just give that one a go. 🙂

Awesome tutorial! Did you ever think of using solder for your door strapping and handles? Much easier to work with!

very true, although I like the look of the black iron over the silvery finish of the solder. Plus it feels a little more authentic like Im actually doing a bit of blacksmithing pounding out the iron wire.😁⚒

Wrap the wire around a drill of the size needed a few times and cut the rings, saves snapping your fingers.

I’d fashion the rings for the door handles from copper, for instance a bit of electrical wire.

How about useing the chain bits that is used to make jewelry to make hinges & door handles? I've gotten door handles that come with a small key in the past but not for the time period of the building here.

Hey dude, cool videos. Very helpful. One question, the music in the background, what is that? It sounds like Adrian Von Ziegler.
