If you have two old hinges, and they’re just brass plate over steel, and you think, well, they still work as hinges, but then you think, shit, they will take two hours to clean up, and then they will still be worn brass-like hinges, you go to the hardware store and get brand spanking new brass-like hinges for $5.63. yes, my time is free, but these days, I’d rather spend the money and have more time not getting filthy.
