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.

Stock used: 25x4mm

 

 

 

that looks really nice tubbe - simple and good. very satisfying to breathe life into your father's old chest too :)

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.

Very nice!

I like them. Well executed! They look as ancient as the chest itself.

Nicely done.  I think it was very well done.  As mentioned, it ties the piece together.  

Nicely Done Tubbe . Shows It Took Some Time , Looks Great . Thanks For Sharing.

Tubbe,

Nice work. I favor the fully welded hinges over the tuck and roll style, they are both stronger and cleaner looking.

Wow! Looks really cool and authentic, like the design which is perfect with the old chest. It has a very nice vintage appeal. Great job!

wonderful work, your Father should be proud

Nice work! They look original to the piece.
