Buy them...Words of wisdom from my grand daughter when she saw me doing something similar, "You do know you can buy those don't you ?" Are you going to countersink for the screw heads ?
A wee try at making hinges, nearly there, just a few adjustments needed.
probably the satisfaction of making them yourself I've been known to make something that took 2 days to make and could be bought for 100 quid. could have gone to work and made 400 if id wantedIs it worth your time?
Yes there cheap to buy, but you know when you see something and ask yourself if you could make from scratch?
That starts the ball rolling lol
Buy them...
I have boxes full of hinges after years as a chippie. Never throw them away. Got me out of trouble on occasion.
That's why I save them. Done a lot of resto work on old houses.All very well and good but as a chippie I'm sure you'll know that there are old odd imperial sizes that simply cannot be bought new now, my house is full of them and they don't all match meaning I need to modify/repair every door to fit new stainless hinges.
