bucket 'o hardware

I've been working on the door hardware for the project house for the last two months or so. A batch here, a batch there. The pieces here are ready to find their way back into their rightful place. It was fun seeing the transformation of some pretty rough looking hardware using what I like to call the stuccohouse method. Much props. :) Hopefully my hard work will be appreciated for years to come..

Ha! I love how housebloggers learn from each other. How did people fix up old houses without the internet?!?

Well, I'm flattered that you have named the process after me, but it's been around a lot longer than stuccohouse ;-) I think an old timer gave me directions when I first started working on my house. It does work well though, doesn't it?

Wish I could see some of the hardware you cleaned.....I'm curious what design was used on the house.

Thanks for the tip though -- it works like a charm. I just realized I didn't have any closeups of the hardware -- I'll have to get some. I'm still burning through a few last minute pieces too. Some pieces were missing but we picked up some salvage hardware that should do the trick. :)
