Hi all,
Just managed to wreck one of the first boxes I was happy with in putting on the hinges. Was a dovetailed Blackwood box with a camphor laurel insert for the lid.
That brings me to a couple of questions in regards to hinges.
I used a cheaper version from carols of the smart hinge. Problem I had was when screwing in the tiny supplied screws, they cross thread the top and then cannot undo the screw. I even pre drilled holes for the screws and about three quarters in, the screw stops , and the head strips.
Second question, when routing for the hinge I essentially set a stop and routed two, then re positioned the fence so I could do the far sides.
I was just watching a YouTube video- Andrew crawfords "Smart hinge, the movie", where the only thing he moves is the stop. He does two passes with the stop on the left of the cutter, routing right to left, re positions the stop to the right of the cutter, then does the second two passes.
When learning to route I was taught quite simply in a table only to ever to route r to l. So how did he do the other side left to right?
Cheers
