    That looks a 100 times better than painted hinges. Nice job. I’m getting ready to take paint off hinges that are 100 years old. The hinges are so thick and strong. If I could find some thing that massive, it would probably cost me an arm and a leg. Thank you for sharing your video.

    Great video. I'm a big proponent of restoring what you have rather than replacing. This seems very easy. I wonder if putting a baking soda paste on non-removable parts may work somewhat. Having painted a lot recently, I know that most of us paint over the hardware because it is too much trouble to remove it, but removing it is really the way to go.

    You know you can just put anything with latex paint in water-heater temperature hot water and it peels off, right? You don't need to boil it. Latex is, for practical purposes, just rubber. Leave it in a sink for 10 minutes and it peels off. You can finish it off with denatured alcohol, if you like.
