Hi Rob, Hang in there the time will come. Look after yourself and build in your mind if you can't get the materials just yet. Cheers Steve

Hello can you do one video on jewellery box hinges please?

[@Woodworkingmasterclass]

Hi Leechie, Not sure which hinges you are referring to are they Barrel Hinges, Quadrant Hinges or what sort? Cheers Steve

[@11941leechie]

@@Woodworkingmasterclass decorative barrel hinges where the cut is not square or oblong.

[@Woodworkingmasterclass]

Ho Leechie, Sorry no can do, Never used them before . However, I do know you have to be super precise to get a good fit. So some Jigs and Test fits could be in order. Cheers Steve

[@11941leechie]

@@Woodworkingmasterclass many thanxs

[@badwolf5245]

[@billysmether6237]

Tested this procedure. Hinge depth way to deep. Poor way to align to top. Don't recommend it.

[@Woodworkingmasterclass]

Hi Billy, If it doesn't work for you I am the first to say try another way. Thanks for the feedback. Cheers Steve
