I'd like to see more smiths do this, Adrian. It always seems such a shame to see a nicely made piece fastened up with tacky hardware-store fasteners. I always try to provide custom fasteners with the pieces I make that need them; I think it gives the job a "completeness" that is otherwise lacking. Thanks for posting those!
