Back to Building Furniture Making a Wooden Hinge for a Box Here is a pictorial of how I fashioned the wooden hinges for a box I built. Note that this hinge is but one of many possible methods and designs. Frankly I do not see it as the prettiest I have designed – but it fitted with the project. Tools used were predominantly hand tools, but with a sprinkling of power thrown in. I am sometimes an equal opportunity woodworker! We have to start somewhere, and what better than the basic stock .. Set up as if you are to cut a dovetail, but mark out for a box joint instead .. Saw merrily .. Then saw some more .. Stop sawing and do some paring instead ..
Transfer the marks and saw and chisel some more .. I used a brass washer as a template to scribe the rounds for the ends. Mark and drill for the steel pivot (I'm going to use a thick gauge nail) .. With the nail inserted .. Time to get out the rasps to round out the ends … to the scribed circles (from the washer/template). More shaping with rasps .. Derek.
