That was a fun watch, especially listening to how much care you put with matching your research with your TARDIS. I think I might want to go on making my own...
Looks really top notch Louie! Yes, you were right about that weakness in the original pin hinge. What you normally do in that situation is use a metal rod. You cut off the weak material, drill a hole and put superglue down the hole, then re -drill the hole, then push in a metal or brass rod. Super strong. Get an eyeloop and think about those tiny clearances as if you were an ant. That's the level of precision you need when working with moving parts. 1/10th of a mm is you level of accuracy.
Looks great. My favourite TARDIS prop.
