Okay so ive got the sisters artist paint brush box almost complete... however I attempted to create some hinges using small lengths of Jarrah and Tuart glued together... Id seen someone on here having done a fanbloodytastic job of creating them but I seemed to have lost track of that thread and have no bloody idea how to track it down again or even if he posted how he did it!... so my problem?
Okay the top half of the hinges are fine 1 1/4 long x1in wide 1/8in square Jarrah peices 1/4in longer than the Tuart so am making the back peices to link them together... what do I use to connect the two? a peice of fuse wire? but dont want to have bent wire anywhere so whats another way of connecting them?
Also as Im doing the front of the box its got a lip... no Midge not a lisp a LIP :p :rolleyes: (just gettin in early ol son! ;) ) so the front hinge is going to over lap the front... so the front hinge is going to have a smaller connection that will connect to another hinge that will flip over the to be made hook... this will be locked down with a to be made Huon Pine pin and chain (carved)... so theres the two back joins plus another two at the front... so far this box looks the ducks knuts with its paint brush handle and now made palette with gems as the paint and I really dont want to stuff it by using something wrong in the connections of the hinges
IDEAS!! please!!
Sorry about the pic will take anothery later but you get the idea eh?
Cheers!
