This was a great little project that I've been meaning to get to for a long time. I should've mentioned in the video that if you don't have access to a milling machine with a slitting saw I'd just manage with an angle grinder. I'd clamp a guide to keep the cut square. A diamond cut off wheel should be about 1.5mm and would be a good option. Have a great Christmas and I'll see you in the New Year. :)

Definitely more scrap wood challenges. It's how I found you on YouTube and ever since can't wait for your next video!

This bloke is a proper craftsman, with a well thought out video and anyone should be able to follow his clear and concise explanation. Compare and contrast to some of the "Look at me, I'm an expert" who often tell you to do things that really aren't wise and are often dangerous. Youtube is a great resource but you can often have to go through 50 well meaning idiots to find one good channel like this.

The reason why your metal cutting saw blade failed is because you was trying to cut D2 tool steel at too high of an rpm. I likes to work harden if you input too much heat. I seen a guy, that I worked with at a machine shop, turn some A2 tool steel purple on a manual mill. He was taking high rpm cuts with a facemill. He didn't know any better at the time. When it came time for the next operation, the next operation wasn't possible. It was work hardened. Solid carbide endmills kept breaking.😂

You sure come up with some neat projects. I like this one especially. Easy to make with very minimal tools. I've got lots of scrap in the bin that would work for hinges next time I need them.

I loved the scrap wood challenges, can’t wait to see what you have in mind

Over the years I've made a lot of hinges for scale models, usually from tinplate or brass. They are very small, and I've never thought to make a jig, but this project is so adaptable I think I'll take a day to make a very small jigs so that I can crank out whatever number of hinges I might need. I'll probably use a lot of hinges when I make 1/6 scale crates, suitcases, and presentation boxes. Have a safe and happy New Year.

Great presentation! What I liked about it was how you spent all your time teaching the technique without having to be "on camera". So many people just need to be on camera, talking about things rather than just teaching the "how to". Great tutorial. Thanks.
-
That's so cool! Never thought of making my own hinges...
-
Schlinder's List Movie showed a fellow making hinges. Now I understand what he was doing. Thank you.
-
Amazing! How you show each and every step, starting from the basics (which requires a lot of work, but helps you understand), to the more complete (but simpler and more practical) solution, pointing out how to achieve similar results with more or less effort using different tools. Very artistic, and not so easy, but simple enough! Thanks!
-
I like the fact that you talk while doing the job. It covers all those little details. Thanks
-
Yes please, more scrapwood challenges. Love the idea of having hinges when ever you need them without a trip to the hardware store.
-
The best videos are the ones you're interested in making but honestly I would love more scrapwood challenge. That would make an excellent start to 2022 for me ☺️
-
Great job! There are a lot of custom jobs that require special hinges. Not available from suppliers. Swing clear hinges, drop leaf, wide throw.... Materials are also an option, brass, copper, aluminum... Thank you for showing there is a solution. 😊
-
A really great little project this one and super handy as most of us would have a use for custom hinges, hardest part is finding the correct stock that doesn’t cost a arm and a leg to buy, hence why it’s easier to go to Bunnings and simply buy what’s needed for less than 5bucks than searching the county side for steel that costs a small fortune.

Merry Christmas to you and your family, Neil! You never cease to be an inspiration - these hinges are amazing!
-
Yes please more scrapwood challenges !
-
Great video as usual. One small suggestion, only drill out the rolls on half the hinge. This will leave the other half tight and that should retain your pin.

20 years ago I tried making hinges using a much more complicated system which was a failure. Thanks for showing this easy method.
