Materials:
- One chunk of pyrite (aka “Fools Gold”). You can search eBay for these, you can find them for about $5 each.
- Quick-set epoxy glue.
- Screws (These are a good length and width.)
- A bowl of rice or beans
Directions:
- Pour put the two sides of the epoxy glue and mix.
- Put a liberal amount of the glue on what you want to be the back of your pyrite rock.
- Hold it in place until it sets. This will take about 5 minutes so you might want to put on your favorite show before you start.
- Once it feels a bit set, you can rest it upside down (screw side up) in the bowl of lentils. Like so:

- Repeat this process on the other chunks of pyrite till they are all done and let them sit for 24 hours.
- Next step is screwing them in the drawer!
If you haven’t figured it out by now, with this technique you can actually make drawer pulls out of pretty much anything.
