Beautiful And Simple Wood Hinges!

In this video I create some heavy duty wood hinges from a small piece of ash wood. Why buy the same hinges as everyone else when you can make your own totally unique hinges from scrap? Hope you enjoy the video!

It's even better if you watch it at 2x speed.

Great video.. Nice footage! I like the hinge design. I'd like to do this with dowel pins to retain the hinge dowel pin for removal and service.

[@bakkenwoodworking6341]

Thanks a lot! I’m sure that would work. Thanks again!

Excellent video! What type of lubricant did you use on the dowel? I assume that it will not cause the dowel to swell.

[@bakkenwoodworking6341]

Thanks a lot! It’s just a little minwax, and nope hasn’t swelled yet! Thanks again

Thanks! It’s called “All the fixings” by Zachariah Hickman

Not worth doing if it doesn’t involve at least 4 power tools, glue and lots of clamps I guess.

[@bakkenwoodworking6341]

Haha could be done without I guess, but if I have the tools I’m using. Thanks for taking the time to watch.

Usage???

[@bakkenwoodworking6341]

its a hinge so chests, doors, lids..the list continues. I'm planning to make similar ones for my front door which I will install also if you are interested. Thanks for watching

Very informative video, thank you very much. Making hinges for chests, (24" X 18 X 15) what do you recommend for hinge dimensions? I'm thinking 1 1/2"X 1 1/2"X 6 to 7" long. Does this seem reasonable to you? Doing a practice hinge to these dimension today. Thanks again..

[@bakkenwoodworking6341]

@@aloncarter6645 Hi, I think those dimensions seem totally reasonable. I generally use ash or something as hard for projects like this and its amazing how easily they hold weight. I have a few that are about an inch wide an inch thick and about 5" long holding up two pretty heavy closet doors - been holding for years. Thanks for watching and the awesome comment - hope they turn out great!

I'm really sure you can build it yourself. I did this 2 weeks ago thanks to the woodglut plans.
