Guy project: Power tools and boredom

(Click the links to view pics)

Door Knocker
The problem: 2 years after buying my house my lazy ass decided to get rid of the previous owner's door knocker. The issue is, I went to Home Depot/Lowes and a few other stores and they didnt sell the right model. I was assed out. What to do?

Grindin!
Second best choice, GRIND off the name! Men and power tools = yeaaaa!

Progress
Stage 1, rough cut. Name is gone.

Stage 2
Hand Sanding, smoothing it out...

Stage 3
Application of cheap "metallic" paint...not exactly shiny but oh well!

Finished product
Looks good on the door actually, and even though it doesn't look factory fresh....at least there isn't some other dude's name on my front door anymore!
