What to do with iron finds...

[ajaj]

OK, technically not found today...but were found very recently. With a little patience, imagination, and an understanding wife (hung in "her" dining room), random iron finds become art.

Very nice way to display your finds! And being a woman that is very high praise!

That's looks good. I've kept many old iron artifacts from earlier times I've found. I know my wife will never let me make something out of it to hang on the wall, as she thinks it's​ junk and wonders why I keep it. I tried to get her to see the story of each item like I do in that it takes you back in time and what it must have been like living in those days? She just says things like, don't you think it be better to let your​ my think more on ways you could be a better husband or something more beneficial to our relationship. I just think to myself Yeah, you could be more like me.

Edit: I "fixed" the door hinge at the bottom (raised it); it was out of "balance".

Well, I do mostly all the cooking and food shopping, and my own laundry (yes, I am a conservative heterosexual!). I think that helps.
