Andy,

I use these from Hafele, they are brass and 10mm dia.

I have not found any good quality face fix hinges.

they dont look to bad how much are they... how thick do you make your boxes if there 10mm

craft supplies do pen box hinges which are the same as those suggested by paul but a lot smaller about a 3 or 4 mm hole size

You might find these will suit your needs, the tiny screws come with the hinges, all you need are some tiny screwdrivers :lol:

thanks martin. there are the right size. may use them if cant find better
sorry to be fussy but was hoping for something better quality brass polished maybe??

 

[motownmartin]

They are polished brass, but good luck in your search and be sure to share your findings with us all.

The USA seem to have quality hinges but I was never able to get them to let me place a small order, So that the reason my boxes dont have hinges.

Martin, many thanks for the link to Hobbies. I have bookmarked.

HOWEVER THEY ARE VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. I HAVE JUST HAD AN EMAIL NOTIFICATION WHICH JUST SAYS.

NEWSLETTER CONFRIRM PLEASE CLICK TO SUBSCRIBE OR WORDS TO THAT EFFECT.

No indication who the email is from so naturally I would not click the link.

I can only suspect the email is possibly from hobbies or it could be a nasty.

CNC Paul: Just had a look around Hafele but cant seem to find your particular designs. Have you a ref code for them?

Very organic boxes btw. Are they hand made or CNC'd?
