Alright, today I try to finish a lady’s residential locks for a job scheduled for next Saturday.
It was hard to find anything that wasn’t ornate Victorian hardware (that I absolutely love), which wasn’t what this customer wanted.
So instead I’m using traditional modern k***s and thumb turns, and decided doing this as a custom job is going to give me the closest results to give the customer what she wants!
I prepared by dismantling all the brass and removed the locks so I don’t get anything inside the lock that could seize it up.
Next I will strip the existing clear coat, apply black bronze, sand for desired wear, and reapply clear coat.
Praying to heaven I roll 7’s on this one! 🎲 🎲
