Portholes

 Last week, while in Brixham, we visited a cafe with a maritime theme. Good marketing - sell food and drink, but have a sideline in maritime memorabilia that can be bought. It's called The Chart Room.

If you look closely, you can see graffiti on the walls, which comprises seafarers and their ships. The owner kindly allowed me to add my moniker.

While there I spotted a couple of brass portholes, probably from a canal boat, but eminently suitable for my purposes. I paid over the odds, but finding two identical ones was perfect. They were for my new garage doors.

They're not as nice as the aluminium ones I have in the house, which are far more chunky and have hinges and screw-downs, but adequate.

The brass ones are currently held on by some silicone sealant and a few screws, but the intention is to get some domed brass nuts of a suitable size - and not too expensive.
