How to hinge a round hobbit door?

A round door would look cool on anything from a birdhouse to an actual life-size door.

Remember the round doors on the hobbit-holes from Lord of the Rings?

Any ideas of how to hinge it?

Here is one I found from searching on the web.

Look at the front of an steam locomotive ( pre streamliner ) Or a ship water tight door. Could also make an inside hinge hidden from sight from at least one side, but usually will take up a massive amount of space without a huge pile of engineering and construction.

Hello Mr Johan, I was wondering if you would build the hobbit door for us. If you do, how much will it cost ?
If you don't, would you sell us the blue prints and specifications ? Thank you for your time.

mona1, you do realixe this thread is almost four years old and Johan lives in South Africa. If you still really want to contact him to contract a door, or to try to buy his plans, it's probably best to PM him and not post your info in a public forum. Just saying, you never know who's going to use it.
