    Default Question

    Are we expected to use your hinge as part of the box?

    Well, I don't know what Dinki Di's (the challenge organiser) will be to your question but, I don't think he could afford or would make much sense, to offer such prizes, if the hinges are purchased from someone that is not him or one of his authorized distributors, wouldn't you agree...???

    I don't know who else in Australia sell these box hinges, I would expect someone does but, they are not the ones to offer the challenge prizes so, why buy them from someone that has nothing to do with this challenge and offer you nothing in return...???

    You may get a difference answer/response from Dinki Di but I doubt, wouldn't make any sense.

    Well, this is obviously, my personal opinion.

    Where do you get the hinges from?
    It's only a mistake if you don't learn from it.

    Thanks , I saw them but thought there might have been a website as well. Might have to send an email. I've got an idea in my head but I have no idea if I can achieve it or not

    Hello Rod, if you purchased the hinges from TGCreations timber sales site, at the brisbane wood show, as I'm sure you did, they are genuine DINKY DI hinges.
