Hinges, Not Just for Door and Lids Anymore

Hey Guys, thought I would share a fun little trick with you.

While I am capable of adding nice little brass hinges to a box lid, I tend to try to find alternatives if I can.

Same goes for little parts inside of a box.

I recently needed a part to flex easily so the long end could engage with a post for locking sake.

So, I used a fine hand saw to cut thin dados in the stock to receive the hinge plate.

A little instant glue and they are held permanent for ever.

As you can see, I didn't exactly get the dado in as squarely as I would like, but luckily it still works as intended.

This might even work for a door, more experimenting is required.

No matter the project, enjoy what is on your bench!
