Iv got an oprotunity to make some strap henges for one of the historic houses i have started demoing at. They have built a new building and they have receved some complants becuase the door and window shutter hardware was just normal hardware store items. So one of the board members aproched me last weekend and was asking about strap henges and door hardware. I have not made any strap henges but i understand the process and how to make them. my problem is figuring stock size for handeling the job is there a good rule of thumb for determinging how long and wide i would want to make the henges to one work properly and bare the weight of the door or shutter and be proportional to look nice. i have to go down there some time soon and get some meshurments to i can start figuring the amount of stock to do the job.
