This was a great little project that I've been meaning to get to for a long time. I should've mentioned in the video that if you don't have access to a milling machine with a slitting saw I'd just manage with an angle grinder. I'd clamp a guide to keep the cut square. A diamond cut off wheel should be about 1.5mm and would be a good option. Have a great Christmas and I'll see you in the New Year. :)

You can also do this with brass, but you'll need a taller driving wall and to use a very tight serrated pin (which remains in there for good) and of course, heat.

This bloke is a proper craftsman, with a well thought out video and anyone should be able to follow his clear and concise explanation. Compare and contrast to some of the "Look at me, I'm an expert" who often tell you to do things that really aren't wise and are often dangerous.

Well you need a lot of experience and training to get to his level, along with time and money to acquire the equipment. Just getting out of college, the best I can do is a Dremel and drill press station with a $30 Chinese milling table attached to it. Have to unpack and assemble it everytime I want to use it and then put it away because I share a house with flatmates and can't just turn a whole area into my own machine shop.

Great job! There are a lot of custom jobs that require special hinges. Not available from suppliers. Swing clear hinges, drop leaf, wide throw.... Materials are also an option, brass, copper, aluminum... Thank you for showing there is a solution. 😊

I miss the scrap wood projects! So glad you're bringing them back! Your daily projects last Christmastime are what got me hooked on this channel.

I’ve never thought of making my own hinges! Now I can, if I choose. Yes on the scrap wood challenges. Whatever you make will be beautiful as usual. Thanks for the inspiration.

This is a great project! You're constantly making things that I previously considered too hard to make in a home shop. It is really inspiring. To answer your question: yes, I'd love to see more scrap wood challenge videos. They're always some of my favorite videos you make!

Of all your projects, I have to say this is my favourite. It’s a work of art. Simply amazing. Thanks for posting such a wonderful video.

Amazing! How you show each and every step, starting from the basics (which requires a lot of work, but helps you understand), to the more complete (but simpler and more practical) solution, pointing out how to achieve similar results with more or less effort using different tools. Very artistic, and not so easy, but simple enough! Thanks!

I remember my dad making hinges when I was a kid, thanks for those long lost memories… and YES for more ScrapWood Challenge videos!!! 🎄 Happy Christmas to you and your whole family

Merry Christmas to you and your family, Neil! You never cease to be an inspiration - these hinges are amazing!

Outstanding work, sir! Very well done! Thank you for showing your work. I never thought making hinges could be so relatively easy. It seems the hard part is making the jig.

It has never crossed my mind to make my own hinges. I'm now looking for a couple of blocks of steel to my make a couple of different sized jigs. And "yes" to more scrap wood videos. I've lost count of how many times that I have gone back and re-watched some of those. Thank you very much for your efforts!

The best videos are the ones you're interested in making but honestly I would love more scrapwood challenge. That would make an excellent start to 2022 for me ☺️

Hi Neil, My husband and I love watching you. We especially love your Scrap Wood Challenge!! Please do more of those. How you fast forward things and play your music is enjoyable. Your skills and ideas are the best.

I love your "whatever gets the job done" focus. As a musical instrument maker who has been forced to make many of his own tools, you are a man after my own heart. Lunch is on me if you're ever in town. Cheers from cool Vienna, Scott

Over the years I've made a lot of hinges for scale models, usually from tinplate or brass. They are very small, and I've never thought to make a jig, but this project is so adaptable I think I'll take a day to make a very small jigs so that I can crank out whatever number of hinges I might need. I'll probably use a lot of hinges when I make 1/6 scale crates, suitcases, and presentation boxes. Have a safe and happy New Year.

Yes please, more scrapwood challenges. Love the idea of having hinges when ever you need them without a trip to the hardware store.

Great presentation! What I liked about it was how you spent all your time teaching the technique without having to be "on camera". So many people just need to be on camera, talking about things rather than just teaching the "how to". Great tutorial. Thanks.

I like the fact that you talk while doing the job. It covers all those little details. Thanks

really loved the video, really enjoyed the whole process, and the simplicity of the thing, and how you showed 3 different ways, which was remarkable. ty.

Yes please more scrapwood challenges !

ive never actually thought about doing a project like this, most of my builds generally use salvage as the main material, and there are always some salvaged hinges laying around.

Yes, more scrap wood projects would be great! And more metal projects, and more cogs, and more propellers! Seriously, thanks for the great content. Enjoy your holidays!

Brilliant idea. I couldn’t find brass hinges of the right size and so had to use steel ones for my project. I’ll have a go at making brass ones myself using this tool. Thanks for sharing

I love this one Neil. Merry Christmas!

Your scrap wood challenges are always amazing yes keep that going.

You never fail to fascinate and impress even a simple jig project turns into something to admire with your dedication patience and great workmanship. Merry Christmas and happy new year

Thanks for showing how to do this without a press and a bandsaw or milling machine. Many of don't have those tools so demonstrating those options with hand tools is a great help

That was really interesting and it shows us how easy it can be to make something with simple tools yourself... It also shows us the process how they could have made it back in the days. Thanks for this fantastic video.

From memory The Stanley Works (Stanley Tools) first invented the cold-rolled steel butt hinge (hinges made from sheet/coil stock like this) back in about 1872 and it's been pretty well perfected over the years since. Prior to this hinges were typically forged or cast and machined, cost a lot more money and took a lot longer to make. The process has been largely automated since the mid-1860s. In a factory environment the 2 leaves are typically formed by a single stage stamping process which cuts the shape of the blank together with the holes and often the countersinking also. The bending is usually achieved in a 3-step process on a press against a series of dies. Lastly the pin is mechanically driven in to the barrel of the hinge. There are sometimes additional processes to smooth or deburr edges as well as surface finishing/plating etc too.

I most definitely would like more scrap wood challenges!!!! PLEASE. Honestly it's some of my favorite things you do although I dig everything you work on. Happy New year see ya then

Most of my hinges were hand made but this definitely gives me ideas on how to make them look a little more professional and improve my efficiency on making them. Thanks much!

Nice work. It always amazes me how people who are determined can make anything like you did.

It hadn't even occurred to me that I could make my own hinges! And yes, please, more scrapwood challenges. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Something I've been curious to make for quite some time. This is often the most expensive part of my box building materials list, so your video is very helpful and appreciated. I'd be definitely interested in scrap wood videos also. Merry Christmas. Thanks for your video.

I've been running from pillar to post to find 1", 1/2" & 1/4" hinges, this video is of great help to make jig to fulfill my requirement.

Never really thought about making hinges but that is so cool how you made the jig to do it yourself. Merry Christmas Neil!

Cheers Neil, That was a great project to finish the year on. Thanks for helping make the pandemic a bit more bearable with all of your amazing content and a big yes please to more scrapwood challenges for 2022. How about some more kinetic art pieces like the cogs and propeller but with even more complexity. Have great Christmas and here's to a much better 2022 than the last 2 years we've all had.

Very clever! With the insane cost of simple hardware, it's nice to see a way for someone to make their own custom hinges. I love it! Thanks! :)

Scrap wood challenges are the best! All of your projects are great, but the scrap challenges are what really drew me to your channel.

You know, I never really thought about how hinges were made. Hard to believe it's that easy. Thanks! Anyway, again, Merry Christmas to you and your family. Lord bless you in the coming year.

That's also why we have standards today because one blacksmith would make a thread a certain way and the guy the next village over would do it in a different pitch, and nothing ever matched up from one piece to the next. Thus the need for skilled craftsmen.

Neil, you always come up with something amazing, inspiring and well worth watching! Please keep the Scrapwood Challenge alive, it's the series that got me acquainted to your channel and by far the most creative woodworking series I've found on the Internet! I'd love to see you come up with some ingenious games or even furniture for children ages ~4 and up. This is what I'd like to focus on for a while (regarding the hobby, so that's besides my day job, wife and ~3 and up kids) and all I have so far is a pretty sturdy chair that I've built and would like to refine and produce in series more easily, all the tools I need, and a few ideas I picked up from left and right from your colleagues on youtube, but I'm sure you could come up with something quite unique that might inspire a lot of us young hobby woodworkers looking to make something for their kids. Thanks for your invaluable contribution to the pool of knowledge that the Internet is, and I wish you and everyone that is watching a happy new year, plentiful of inspiration, creativity and energy for work!

I love your scrapwood challenges and can't wait to see more! Maybe you could even do scrap metal challenges? Thanks for making such great content and happy new year!

That jig has given me an idea for another project I have in mind to save me some valuable time... cold rolling some shim material into a tube! Thanks very much for the idea!

Hi Neil, another great wee project. Thanks for keeping me entertained all year! For future Scrapheap Challenges: - You've made several planes. Could you do a plough plane/rebate plane? I plan on having a go at your router plane soon (Paul Seller's router plane looks great too) and a matching style plough plane would be amazing for box making etc. Might be a good mix of metal and wood work. - Don't think this would be super tricky but maybe a game like Connect 4? It being the season for board games (at least in the northern hemisphere)! Maybe something fun with the counters like raw and blackened metal inners with wood outsides? - This is maybe a bit simple, being some sort of box, but how about upcycling/creating a speaker? Maybe a bluetooth speaker as a base, taken out of its casing and put into something a lot cooler? Maybe with kumico? Whatever, you decide, sure it'll be great. Thanks for all your content!

Good idea! It sure beats modifying standard hinges to adapt to a non-standard format in an existing cabinet. Wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

I can't tell you what to make, but I can say that the Scrap wood challenge is my favorite series from you. Always happy to see more.

That came out 100 times better then I expected! Didn't realize this was achievable with some basic tools.

Hey Neil, great video. Really nice hinge jig and the results are great. Your dialogue, camera work and editing are spot on and the result is both educational and entertaining.

Great video, as always. If I might recommend, you can get very nice overlap and a full circle around the pin if you grind a short bevel on the leading edge that'll be going into the bend. This is pretty standard in all the blacksmithing books and videos out there. Not a big necessity on small hinges like that, but it's one of those little details that I think really sets even small hinges apart from the mass-produced stuff.

@@alans1816 As well as. The ground-in bevel helps the steel bend around the form like the bend does, but the real payoff is in the finished product when you see that ground taper blend almost seamlessly into the curve around the hinge pin. You end up with a complete circle (if you do it right) instead of that eye-like profile. On small hinges like these, it's completely unnecessary in terms of strength of function, obviously. And, really, nobody will notice it if you don't. In 100 years, some antiquarian will look at the piece and say they were made in a machine because that pin isn't fully encircled..... but that's about it. On larger hinges like might be used on a door, it makes things stronger because the pin is fully supported.

It’s just a cut off saw or chop saw. They are actually pretty cheap. Not as accurate as miter saws but for rough chopping they will cut anything. Also these days a nice metal cutting blade for your wood miter saw will cut a lot. The grinding style saw blades will cut really thick stock.

@threeriversforge1997

2 жыл бұрын

They cut stainless, but you have to watch the thickness since stainless is just a lot tougher on blades of all kinds. The saws made for cutting metal are specially designed for the task from the ground up, including the right RPM's and all that. You can buy a metal-cutting blade for your woodworking saws, but I don't really trust them since those saws are made for working wood and all the internals are built around that idea.
