Recycled Handles

Twice I have visited an appliance recycling center and obtained excellent material to replace refrigerator door handles.

With only a screwdriver, a hack saw and a drill I now have handles much better than the originals. Of course accurate measurements and a tape measure are essential.

Our county puts old appliances in a central location where the public is welcome to remove any unit or part free of charge. There is a wealth of material available with very little work--chrome bars and knobs, stainless steel bolts and screws, even wire racks which I think are much preferable to the glass shelves manufacturers seem to think the public wants.
