" We're back -- we're dealing with some of the original hardware in the house although much of the detail here was lost. The brass is are still here and I suspect maybe 1520 years ago -- somebody came along and polish them up and lacquered them. And what happens is that a -- breaks down and you end up with this kind of adult. Since he -- finished and we strip these in lacquer thinner and Greg the architect actually spent a lot of time buffing these other Jewelers. Buffing wheel -- that Jewelers rouge which has one way of getting this means they'll have to maintain a couple times a year but still they look perfect beautiful. And you've really got the original screws here now how to put this back. Well I indicated this whole thing was the organization at the very beginning because I was there and it's an ounce bags that -- remembered yep and then they come back at the tail end of the job -- back in the bag yet and you're -- there was complete schedule of every door in the house that porcelain powder room door right there's always always here or we put it back in it was a little larger and then also had to cut it down a bit. Anytime you're gonna be cotton do it down you want to cut it down from the inside. So when I'm what this is still intact OK and we've put this want to send him pictures like it did when it came out. Exactly. The other reason the opening changed is that of course we've got new walls and we've got new. Door jambs and casings. And that means essentially all these doors have to be read. How you put these spindles from enough through the escutcheon plate and a course just reset. And and you've got the original set screws and everything right yeah."

" Yes."

" Yeah it really important to keep all the parts together not mix them up. These are hundred year old pieces -- might vary from one to the next. And what's the next step we just want to set the discussion right okay. And you're not going to use a level that you're actually going to measure right pictures exactly."

" Or we -- to look at the -- I want to look at a piece of furniture that I've ever longtime. Which is probably early eighteen hundreds and it uses would they were very popular than. Flame mahogany veneers probably from the Caribbean islands and a New England favorite. Maple in this case it's tiger maple the -- we're taking inspiration from this piece and Tim is doing quite a job on the mantelpiece in the deck money. I -- Now have a challenge is officially here and when we had we had painted the battle. I've read. And it's like you see on the baseboard here the baseboard hasn't been finished yet and the wall horse head that Redmont him. Adopt them and or rag them expose the term to create this effect of kind of old leather. And it that it occurred to me to try to do the woods the mahogany and tiger tiger maple. Tell -- about how you achieve this finish here that this does approximate --"

" Actually thanks we started with a red base. And then -- up places. Sort of numbers and blacks and browns and just worked on getting the precious to move away the grain of the wood would."

" And of course that the that Glazer transparent salute as you attitude and you create this death. Exactly now for the tiger maple that did you have to it."

" Paint a different base yeah you can just feel a bit left down here this is sort of a warm no -- used around for the mahogany and poker for that Thai government all poker being done naturally occurring yellow."

" Candidates and yellow color. And this is probably the harder it was to try to replicate the the tiger banding."

" Yes got a lot less movement incest or to make it look sound realistic without."

" Being to leverage on us a little bit of challenge yeah well I like what you've done up towards the top band hero already we're starting to look a little bit like birds."

" And of course you have to keep the tape and management -- the tape is great because it'll protect the edges -- finished. So I'm not going to have to rework those scenes on the tape comes down."
