Howdy all,
The stack in question was made several years ago from an old door knob as suggested by Kevin strong. I was fortunate enough to have a suitable candidate on the bathroom door in my shop. So...it was sacrificed for the good of the project. My house is full of the same type doorknob but I am a little wary of taking any of these. :_) This cabbage stack was made for what used to be a Pearse Colorado that spent some quality time with a jeweler's saw. I was going after a Argent Lumber CO. Swamp Rat look. See the book, "The Last of the Swamp Rats". Our own Richard Finlayson was chief hacker on a Pearse loco of his own at the time and provided much inspiration for my project.
