I'm at the halfway point in a woodworking project - a walnut spice chest - and I've decided that this time since I've got the machines I'm going to make the hardware too.
Traditionally it's just brass knobs, regular hinges, and a half-mortise lock but I'm looking for just about any design ideas and I'm thinking of brass knife hinges for the door (the kind that mount on the top/bottom of the door instead of the stile). A real half-mortise lock is beyond my current abilities or interests, but I'm open to other style door catches too. Metal will be brass or blackened steel.
So if you've made your own hardware in the past and don't mind me stealing some ideas, please post a few pics.
thanks
Joe
