Title: Earn a few brownie from matron
Post by Dolallytap on Jul 25^th, 2008, 5:50pm

I am going to attempt to earn a few brownie from matron. I want to make a chest of drawers with a display cabinet on the top with sliding doors, similar to what is shown in the photo.

I am looking for flush fitting handles in antiqued brass finish, they don’t have to be brass I will accept an alloy. At the time of making posting all my endeavours have fallen on stony ground.

I have had a look at Hafele, Hettich and woodfit but as I say on joy.

Thank you Jason; look s good quality gear much like Martin & Co, with a price tag to match. But you only get what you pay for.

I notice that one of the manufactures Samuel Heath is on my door step. There products are first class second to none in my book, but they don’t supply direct to the trade or didn’t but I will put a call in one Monday and se what they have to say.

Once again thank you for taking the time and trouble in having a shop round it is most appreciated.
