    Default Wheatley fly boxes

    I am building a few fly boxes for christmas presents.
    I have been using normal 1"x 3/4" brass hinges but after looking at the wheatley fly boxes on line, I see they use what looks like a butt hinge that is flush fitting on the outside of the box.
    I can't see any hinge rebates on the inside of the box.
    I am from Scotland and this is my first post, so if anyone can direct me to a simple fit flush fit hinge, that lets the box open 180 deg. I would appreciate the help.
    I just want to make the best looking box I can, and I have to say the hinges rebated into the inside of a flybox detract from the build quality when it is full of flies.

    thanks
