Hello, I have just made a small box 200 x 150 x 90, sliced the lid off with the bandsaw, and fitted the cheap 6x35 strap hinges. Unfortunately, when the lid closes after the hinges are fitted, the lid does not line up exactly with the box :(
Can anyone please advise if there is a foolproof way for fitting these hinges so the lid and the box align perfectly? I am sure there is an old craftsman's trick of the trade to do this.
I believe the next step on this box, to get around the imperfection, is to bevel the adjoining edges so you cannot detect the poor alignment. Do you bevel both the lid and the box edges, or just one of them?
