It's true that the photos on their web site leave a lot to be desired.Brian wrote:I saw their offerings, but can't discern anything from the photos.

What quality level are you looking at? Gold-leafed? Hand chased inlay work? Cast crap?

Glad you took my 'cast crap' comment in humor. Truth be told I'll aways prefer forged parts, but some cast stuff is okay, so long as it isn't trying to (cheaply) imitate a forged item.

I feel the same with regard to most cast hardware. Ideally I would be hammering out my own stuff, but I'm a good ways from that. I found some stuff that looks pretty awesome on that site. Not sure which direction I will go for the current project, but I have another cabinet coming up where hardware is going to play a larger role.
