Looks interesting. Now lets see what they look like installed on a box. Could you possibly make the whole top of the box be half of the hinge?

Bj, how about a hammer blow to the trailing end of the pin to increase it's diameter, then just tap it into the hinge.
You're patience and skill never ceases to amaze and inspire me, oh to be you're age again with guys like you to learn from.

Hi Doug

" Could you possibly make the whole top of the box be half of the hinge?"

I don't see why not, because it's a wooden hinge, the hinge would become the top lid of the box..

or the side of the box with a swing out door...

Hi Harry

That could work but it would be tricky,,, the key word would be "TAP" into the hinge knuckles ,,,becuase it's wood,they will not take any taping on the hinge knuckles, the grain of the wood sticking out without any support to speak about and I'm almost sure they would snap off...I did snap off one end of the hinge by just paying with the hinge pin, it must slide in easy, all the way....down the hinge...I may put a SMALL slot in the ends with a Dremel tool ,on the brass pins and then once they are in place take a small screw driver and turn it with 2 screw drivers at one time ,just a bit to increase it's diameter just a little bit to lock it in place...

For those interested in the jig, I believe Grizzly has it for $59.00usd.

(you can shoot me later for not finding that out sooner BJ).

Thanks Ken

I broke my own golden rule, always check Grizzly b/4 you buy tools

Not to bad it only cost me 10.oo bucks for breaking the rule..
