Newbies fireplace doors

admin

Thanks to all those who helped with the thought process on these doors.  Hope the picture attachment worked.  I am addicted to this site!  They owner wanted to be able to take the doors off when needed.  So, they are removable!  Still need to insert glass and finish.  Anyone have a good site to share on different methods of finishing metal?Ben Attached ImagesLast edited by preeceben; 04-01-2007 at 09:56 AM.

Reply:Clean it, metal etch, and patina them. Search for metal finishes online, I am not sure of which books there are available. There are lots of finishes like gunbluing that have different coloration, look timeless, and are heat resistant.
