Hi all
Workshop newbie here, and beginner woodworker too!!
I've been making a model of a log cabin (approx 2ft sq), it's made almost entirely by hand with whittling knives and chisels from scrap timber rescued from skips, so it is not meant to look "nice".
I want to have the windows fit flush to the outside when closed, with a sill on the inside. How then do I fit the hinges so that they are hidden from the outside? I tried to fit hinges inside the recess but the hinged side of the window snags on the frame. Either I'm doing something very wrong or I'm trying to do something that can't be done.
It's too late to use pins top and bottom as the walls are already built, obvs with the openings ready to take the frames, so I have to use hinges. Any clues or links to a solution?
