  • 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.

      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.

    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.

And probably closer to the way they used to be made before multi-ton presses and specialized bending machines were used. Reminds me of how a blacksmith makes a hinge -- without the forge, and less hammering.

But for a bunch of people to say "Oh gee I never knew that's how they are made" and to not give a clear concise explanation that this is indeed not a hinge you've ever seen in your life, belittles the craftsmanship of die making. Maybe I shouldn't be such an ass but it really got my panties twisted when I saw him cutting D2 with a circular saw. But I would wager his press is atleast a 20 ton hydraulic press

      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.

      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'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!

    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.

    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!

    Dude, today I'm discovering something that I never would have imagined: how the hinges are made. And your circular saw for iron makes me dream, I will try to find it but is it possible to cut stainless steel with it? Thanks for sharing and merry Christmas

      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.

      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.

      Glad you found it interesting. The saw will cut stainless as long as it’s not too thick, I ruined my last blade trying to cut through 10mm thick stainless but the blade was pretty old. :)

      Get the Diablo one, its cheaper and as good as the big name one.

    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! :)

    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.

    Great work, there are people who actually need no market for stuffs.
    We can create things from the scratch where the elderly used to do it, but nowadays we are accustomed to ready made things.

  • @lalitheshlalitheshachar8438

    The Idea was very good, Tha same idea I used to make production of hinges in engineering industry at the time of year 1993. I remembered that work I was done so many years back. Thanks.

    Wow!. Neil, I am a fulltime blacksmith. I am not the biggest fan of woodworking, but I keep your channel in my thread because I have always appreciated your expertise in woodworking.
    I am astonished at how foolish I have been in the past with making hinges. Like I have a decent engineering and machining background, a background of art, considered myself an all around genius of most anything from physics, chemistry; math and sciences of all avenues... And you have proven a lifelong fuckerdom of my brain that simplicity eludes me lol. I blame it on autism. I digress - -
    I laughed at your inexperience with D2, but i applaud the outcome and you just made my life easier. Thanks Neil. You da man

    Just to let you know and to thank you.
    The steel cutting blade for circular saw that I saw you use, when you purchased it, was eye opening and I had to try one for myself. They are certainly a time saver and make cutting large sheets of steel much easier and much less work with the cutting wheel.
    I look forward to trying this out also.
    Thank you for sharing!

    On the last hinge concept use 3 straps. The pins could be held on the hinge by center punch upsetting dimples or just penning on end out of round to make a force fit on one end

    I love the scrapwood challenge!! It would be cool to see you make a jewelry box because it can be made in so many different ways. Especially if you make it specifically for someone’s jewelry collection. (i.e. if they have lots of earnings and not many rings make more space for earnings and less for rings) also that would make a great gift!
