|  Scale Sized Hinges
Does anyone out there have a source for prefereably metal either chrome of flat hinges that would be small enought to say use for a scale tool box? Or even a way to make them yourself would be fine. |

Easy to make yerself. Use a tiny brass tube and find some piano wire that will fit inside. Cut some short lengths of the brass tube and feed the wire through them. Lay the tubes on some flat stock and solder every other tube to the flat stock. Repeat this step for the other side, then you end up with a home made hinge. not the best pic, but this should give you an idea.  |

I went to hobby lobby and the hinges they had there were way too small. So I started looking elsewhere and I was surprised. I found these at home depot.  |

What size are they? A bit large for a 1/10 toolbox no?
