So.
(Deep sigh)
I have an entire drawer marked, "Hinges & hardware," & just discovered that all of those "new old stock" hinges have only a single hinge in each packet.

And they're all different. 🙄

So, I went to #TheVulcan's hardware stash, & just had to share everything that

...is NOT a door hinge.
Ever since I started re-selling, the Vulcan has taken anything that didn't sell, salvaged the hardware from it, & saved it for future use.

Meaning, even though we have NORMAL hardware like this...

We also have things like this:
-cabinet soft-close hinges
-door stops
-metal gears for SOMETHING
-bearings from God knows how many Nordic Tracks.

Ooh, this is actually my stuff. Why is it over here? 😂

I have no idea where these came from, but they're cool.

#TheVulcan got a bunch of hardware for attempting to make chess pieces.

Probably old gate hardware from his dad's family farm:

Hey, it includes a set of hinges!
(But they're way too small for a giant teak door.)

Cool looking gears, some scrap metal, &...I think that's a radial arm saw that we got for free, & thought we'd never use, & #TheVulcan took it apart to save space? I forgot about that! I wonder if it will still work...?

And here's some stuff I'm not going to get to, bc that would mean moving the giant-ass chevron table top I made last winter, & still hasn't sold. 🙄

So yeah, that's our hardware stash, lol.
