Tubbe Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Hi, I have remade a set of hinges for an old chest belonging to my father. Not much to say other than it was a fun little project. A bit tricky to make it all fit but in the end a pretty nice result. The rivets are made essentially as nails and assembled from the inside and then riveted cold on the outside.

beth Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 that looks really nice tubbe - simple and good. very satisfying to breathe life into your father's old chest too :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yves Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 I like elegant objects. This is one of them. Nice, simple as Beth says and functional in more than one way : they permit opening and closing of the cover, of course, but they also solidify the chest. And they have a way of complimentting the dovetails. A very good job. Congratulations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john_zxz Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 I like them. Well executed! They look as ancient as the chest itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petere76 Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Tubbe, Nice work. I favor the fully welded hinges over the tuck and roll style, they are both stronger and cleaner looking. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
