Thread: Made some hinges for the artists paint brush box

So... where do the brass screws go?

Good job Ding, the best part of making your own is that you'll be able to make/design them to be a perfect match for whatever you're building.

I'm fangin' to see the box when it's all together and finished.

Where will the brass screws go? Anywhere I damned well... ahem... err um through the thick bit at the bottom each hinge end is thick enough to screw one through the side or top and into the hinge itself thus the head will be inside the box and under the lid and thus no metal will be seen!

Yeah mate thats what I liked about it as it came together... choosin the timbers to offset or compliment the timbers already used far better than brass hinges to! nothin against brass hinges Ive used them almost exclusively all these years but now Ive found and made timber ones? mmm ooh yeah aint no more brass hinges in my future! I was thinking initially of using some Tuart for a real color stand out and to match the hardwood of the Jarrah as my second choice was originally Huon I figured using the sheoak would look better and its not as hard as the tuart nor as soft as the huon and it does have a wonderful grain pattern that if I placed the peices right would show...

You and me both mate you and me both!... funny the time I spend on something seems to drag like buggary at the start and through the main body of putting it together then just as its coming together I cant wait to be done with the thing! sorta gets to a point where it becomes... boreing And I start itchin to start something new

Which in this instance will be good cause right now this is the only thing on the bench!!... and I think... well I hope I can start on the canoe! Heck given my knee issues I may even get that done before I go back to the mine :eek: and REALLY upset young Daddles!
