Im sharing this mainly for the fact that it has taken so much of my day!
Top is the knocker, bottom is plate it knocks against
Top has had 2 1/2 hours polishing, sanding, buffing, rubbing ...all sorts of things...
Bottom is the finish it started out ...
We are having our original door stripped and repainted black ... so I thought I would clean up the door furniture
I was wrong in thinking a quick run with a bit of brasso would do it ...
Anyway, im sure anitques roadshow would criticise me for being heavy handed ... I dont care, I like it bling!

Good effort.....It should look really nice when you get it shiny :rolleyes:
 
It's been a very constructive day for a few today hasn't it?!
Good work Hamish.

Pete, Kev ... if you had said that earlier, to my face, I probably would have clocked you with it!! ;)

Indeed Dan... I cleared out the downstairs loo/dumping ground and shed too!
I had fun in the shed! I smashed some stuff!!! :)

Nice one Hamish - you must be buffed, I mean chuffed ;)
