How To: Cement and Rope Door Stopper

There are plenty of door stoppers out there, but most are made of rubber or cheap plastic. While the stoppers serve a purpose, they just don’t belong in a manmade home. These burly cement stoppers are are much better way to go.

A few of the doors in my house tend to swing about half closed when the weather turns cold outside. It must be from the humidity in my area, but for a handy guy, a half-closed door is a pain in my neck. These solid doorstops just look awesome, and for the rest of the year when the doors stay put on their own, I can throw them on the mantle as awesome decorative pieces. The materials used for the project are simply just a piece of rope, some concrete, and a few supporting items, so it’s a fair bet most of them are already in your shop right now.
