/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Why is it so hard to post without a tripcode?

>>854697
It's convenient and the people who let it really bother them probably aren't worth having conversations with anyway.

>>854699
You realise that the anon you just discounted was hingemaster. He answers all hinge related questions here. There's nothing he doesn't know about a hinge. Fags like yourself bother him because one took his wifes life. It was an underground bunker fag, he didn't listen to hingemasters advice. The hinge wasn't rated for the door. Hingemasters wife ultimately paid the price. But you keep on tripping, I'm sure it's totally convenient and necessary.

Its like I'm really reading a reddit post

I know this is a lame answer - if you don't need a lot of them, keep an eye on ebay for the originals. I've been as unhappy as you with the modern victorian style hinges and have been successful in getting some good ones (I am in the UK though). You can get cheap ones that are still covered in paint and gunk, the best way to clean them up is to boil with bicarbonate of soda, scrape off the crap and then put on some grate polish - works a treat.

I got you covered OP, I know someone who found really high quality hinges like those in solid brass and stainless steel/nickel/chrome for their house. I'm in a different time zone from them and they are already asleep, so I'll be back in ~8 hours with a link for you OP. good luck, see you then~!

if this thread is gone, I'll make a new thread at exactly 9 AM PST in the morning using your picture, along with the link (if I get it).

>>855166
Thanks, I'll save that tip about bicarbonate of soda. I need a whole lot of them though and I can't find more than sets of two in the size I need.

Bless your heart.

Alright OP, I'm back, sorry for the delay. The hinges my friend got came from restorationhardware.com, who doesn't seem to stock them anymore, but you can get the same kind from here:

look for an architectural salvage store near you

Lets replace all tripcodes with beautiful vandykes hinges.

This, but be prepared to pay out the ass. I used to do demo and I would go to job sites an hour or two early and strip hardware and then sell it to fancy salvage stores. Bosses didn't care because I was working for free and had no reuse policy. Only thing they ever kept was large amount of metal like copper pipe.

All our designers spec molding with Van Dykes profiles.

Thank you so much. I was almost ready to just use plain boring hinges.
