Re: Door Stops
The door stop I use in my shop looks like the bar bells used in cartoons. Rough cast iron, about 15 lbs. I have done considerable research and can not decide if it is, in fact, and old bar bell or what they called bar bell shot. Shot out of a cannon, used to tear the rigging out of old the old sailing ships. I have seen this stuff, nasty! They also used chain sometimes to attach two shot together. Larry
