I am familiar with the Roubo book stand cutting technique, where from a single board, you can create a hinged joint. The Roubo book stand goes from a “closed” position (0 degrees) to an “open” position (90 degrees). What I’m wondering, is there a similar cutting technique that can take a flat board and cut a hinge in the middle? In other words, can you cut a hinge that’ll allow it to go from an “open” position (180 degrees) to a closed position (90 degrees or less)? If so, is there a tutorial? Thanks, |

I don’t know of a way to cut a hinge out of a single board like that book stand. But you could make a wooden hinge where both halves were from the same board using the technique in ShipWright's Blog For examples of wood hinges, search the LJ projects for the tags: wooden hinge and wooden hinges If you only want to use hand tools, my pine box project lid was done with a plow plane and block plane (shameless plug to boost my view count).
