Description:

I purchased sheets of (?) gauge stainless steel from the duct department of the hardware store. I cut it down to size for each cabinet door and filed all the edges so that they couldn't slice a finger. I used 400 grit sandpaper on the steel in a circular motion to make the steel look "brushed". I purchased 3/4" #10 nuts and bolts to fasten them on for a cool industrial look. I used a 1/4" drill bit to make a hole 1" square from each corner and did the same in the sheet metal. Then I simply bolted them on w/ the nut on the outside and reattached the handles.
