I can't understand why you don't want to paint hundreds of tiny hinges Brian! All looking great.

Hi all just thought I would show off my new serving machine made by Roman Kraska. can't wait to start using it

Machine looks good. Steel and Nickle Silver always takes blackening solutions well. As to brass, it’s probably coated in photoresist from the etching process. Carrs used to make a product called Aciddip that was useful for cleaning and preparing etched brass for blackening. Also, not all blackening solutions are equal. Never had much success with blackening brass until I went over to Birchwood Casey Gun Blue. That stuff works a treat, at least, it did for me.

Thanks Tim, next time I will test parts first. First door gone on only 70+ more to do.
