You are turning out some of the very best stuff I've come across. Learned a lot just from studying your builds. Thanks for posting your work, Mr Roksloski. Partly inspired by you, I recently started messing around with Styrene and bumped into these the other day. With the off chance you're not privy to them, DIY hinges. |

I picked them up here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iMyDD1nZQc He does a great job explaining how to make and how one could go about using them. My Example: With some playing around I modified one of the designs to fit my personal needs. I needed something to work with a boxed in door for a cubby. It allowed not only swing but lift as well to clear the flooring. The "U" shaped design can also work just like a car door hinge. Giving the door a box to open into or swinging out to clear the side panel, depending how you set it up. Hope that helped a bit and wan't too much. Also, I was wondering how you go about gluing two painted pieces together? Everything I have used seems to wanna strip the paint off in the process. |

Hey thank you for that...... 99% of my stuff is painted after it is built... for the other 1% i will scrape the paint off..... like the tool box drawer's, i scrape the paint out of the center where it is going to go.... |

You're verdy welcome! I had thought that was the proper way to go about painting but the toolbox did throw me for a loop. Thanks a bunch for clarifying that for me |

Ok so here we go....... i made some mock up hinges so i could see how they work and if they will work for my needs........ you throw a cabinet face frame in the mix and, man i was scratching my head........ i Think i got it figured out............. to make it easy on myself, i used the paperclip loops instead of bending my own.. it works... thats all i can say.... next time i need to make them longer........ and a handle......... thanx for lookin............

Start with end cap's and a coupler..... i only used a bit over 1/2 of the coupler epoxyed them all together.......... a little puddy and sanding and you get this........ the Block layed out for the pump housing...... platform for pump and motor its getting there........
