Silversmithing Making Hinges

[@aumi.jewels]

Very interesting way to make your hinges. I have been taught a completely different way but we are now in 2024… I cut my hinges first then I solder them on to each piece. I definitely make sure my measurements are perfect to the mm.. Thanks for showing a different way for me to try..,Michelle

[@annermel9121]

Quite a different way of making a hinge. I am going to try this method. Thanks for the video.

Beautiful - after 3 years at Uni learning metalwork and other stuff this was the most helpful lesson I have had 😍

[@kinneypolve2100]

Really glad I could help.

[@lenastiward8657]

Beautiful pendants! I was thinking this was just for lockets but no for beautiful movement on pendants as well. Thank you!

[@crayonfou]

So clever. Thanks for showing!!

[@katrinabell4890]

That is such an awesome technique! That totally makes sense and makes hinges seem way less daunting! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

WhereIs TheFire, You’re welcome. That’s the same thing I thought when someone explained it to me.

[@joelbitton]

Thank you Sir for your generosity.

[@charbraun9469]

This is an incredibly easy way to make a hinge…apparently I’m not the only one who has been taught a more challenging method. I’ve subscribed and I’m hoping you’ll make more videos. Great advice as well about it not being a race!

[@trinitysweet1]

So much easier than the way I was taught. Thanks!

Can you show how to finish the pins different ways maybe in another video Kinney? Thanks a bunch for this video btw, it’s genius !!

[@kinneypolve2100]

Glad that I could help.

[@themandragorium3090]

bravo !!

[@juliepeck6915]

I knew I had seen someone do this before but I couldn’t find your video!! I’m making a high dome locket and I’ve been killing myself trying to decide how to go about it. If you don’t mind me asking would you leave the hinge on the outside on a locket? Or would you file it slightly for it to sit on the inside edge? Thank you in advance.

[@gardeningsimplified]

You're welcome. If you want the locket to open up all the way, then the hinge needs to be on the outside.

[@juliepeck6915]

@@gardeningsimplified Thank you 😊

[@bettybho2168]

tbh I couldn't make sense of this

[@kinneypolve2100]

I couldn't make it any simpler, you may need to watch it again a few times.
