Mike they look as usual really very sweet.In fact the box with hinges fitted looks superb this is a little beauty .I am an avid fan of home made wooden hinges and have made quite a few myself over the years.Keep up the very artistic work I love to see it.Alistair

I had to go and do the actual cutting, but finished it, and the hinges, a little while ago…If the phone doesn’t ring I’m hoping to be able to post the rest of the story tonight… :)

I missed this installment yesterday, but I picked up on the 2nd one which I favorited and which I am also doing with this one. Thanks Mike for your efforts in making this good blog and sharing your knowledge with us.

Likewise missed the first which is now bookmarked.
I have made several wood hinges but this is the best explaination so far and I have searched and read a lot of examples on the Net…
Where is spell check when I need it?
