Spring came and went....It is frosty today....So I switched to indoor projects, well I switched to sitting around drinking coffee with my father, well green tea.... and started on the interesting frame I found last week.... Not a big job but a delicate one...
Getting the glass out was a delicate job, with a bit of nervous pliers work required to get at the pins that held it in. So the glass is out and clean....Didn't want to break it as it is the original glass by the look of it....So all the rusty hardware removed and the old painted finish removed from the two wood sides, sanded and ready for paint....Many years of tarnish removed from the brass sides, which took way longer than expected.
Derailed by lack of masking tape that is where the job ended today.... The big trick will be what to put in it when its done?
