Hi Ken

Well because the knuckles are only 1/4" O.D. that word be a hard one ,, I think I'm going to take some 3/8" OD brass rod and drill some 1/16" holes in them on the lathe on dead center , that way they will fit the jig and with a 1/16" thick spacer to hold the hinge plate just right it may work...

The drill bushing they are using on the jig are held in place with Allen set screws so I can remove them and place in the smaller ones and move them just a bit to get the 1/4" wide knucles to fit it just right.. I think..

Well I off to try the jig out

OK Bob I understand your thought process. My thing was bending the wire as being a real pain in the "roid" area. The glue dop will work but sometymes it will not hold to stainless steel. To help with the sticking ability you might try roughing the stainless area with sand paper to help with adhesion.
Good luck as I know you will do well.
Best Regards..

If I cut the hinge right ,I should have one part of the knuckle on both ends that will take on the glue and the end of the pin...

I use super glue all the time on wood projects and it holds very well ..and sets up in about 5 sec. or less...with the spray.. (AceTone)

The jig comes with a #30 bit (.128 in dia.) that's 6" long and I did order one #30, 12" long also...

I do have a long #40 bit for the stainless wire that should work..

And I'm looking at it now... great little jig...

"Please keep us advised on your work in this matter" = will do

Hi George II

sanding the pin,,,Will do,,,thanks,, do they make something better than super glue ....? for stainless ..I was thinking about drilling a small hole for a cross pin, but stainless can be a pain to drill,,,I have drill bits bit that I can use in 1/16" wire but it's tricky to drill....my old eyes are not the same when I did it b/4..

At one time I drilled tons of fastners for safety wire & nylock buttons..it's tricky most of the time...they do like to break the bits..and stainless is one of the hard ones to drill ( 18.8 stuff )

Looks great Bj, thanks for sharing! That puppy is in my future

Hamlin · 01-16-2008, 10:50 PM

Now, I'm jealous. Gonna hafta get one myself.

lol

Just a thought about the stainless wire, they make screws small enough to match 1/8" bit, just cut the wire short, glue in the screws on the end.

**bobj3** · 01-16-2008, 10:55 PM

Thanks Nickbee

It's fun making stuff out of wood that's not the norm

Wooden hinges are neat and easy to make now that I have made one..

Thanks Corey

Most of the time Hinges are like looking at a sore thump sticking out of a nice cabinet/box but this type should make it a be more unique/one of a kind....

Plus it's fun to make
