Thanks for the blog Martyn.
Those area really nice hinges. The concept is brilliant in it’s simplicity.
I like the inclusion of the gap as evidence that you are “only human”, but I think I would need more proof. You make some amazing stuff. Thanks for sharing it with the rest of us mortals.

Good tutorial Martyn. This is wonderful technnique and I like that the hinge ends are hidden and also locked in. I would like to make some of these boxes with my grandkids. They would love the magical inside out effect. They can cut the box joints on the scroll saw and I can do the routing, or as an alternative I can show them how to to it with a sharp chisel instead. I really like this project a lot. Thanks for sharing it with us. I am only disappointed that there are no instructions in how to use the onboard calculator, lol.
