| I would recommend also trying thin sheet brass for making hinges. If you cut out a shape with two prongs on the end of a square, you can roll the prongs back using a small pair of needle nose pliers, then use heavy gauge wire for the hing pin. If you look at how a real door hinge is made, you will see what I mean. If you need pictures I can try to throw something together in paint.
Then you can spend your 500 pounds on lager and nuts. |
