  • In this tutorial I’ll show you how to make homemade hinges.
    This is a simple DIY tutorial and it’s meant for beginners. You don’t need any special tools to make these hinges at home and the process is quite simple.
    You can use these hinges for your own "do it yourself" projects like cabinets or other furniture. And if you want you can add some decoration. I used 1 mm steel plate and 4 mm steel rod for the hinge. You can use different material like brass plate or copper rod.
    Hope you like it!

    You are the man! Nicely done, and doubling the sheet metal for the whole hinge instead of just the part the pin goes thru probably makes the entire hinge much stronger!

    Really nice video. This tutorial shows everything you need to know. Only thing i would like to know, how did you cut the 2mm thick part without demaging your shears. I wouldn´t dare to go over 0,8mm with mine.

    • @GarageKnight
      @GarageKnight  4 роки тому +2

      Thank you! The shears I used have cutting capacity about 1,22 mm (according to manual). But when the steel is folded like here, it's much easier to cut than a solid piece of 2 mm steel. A solid piece of 2 mm steel would be impossible to cut with these. But if you don't want to risk your tools, then an angle grinder with a cutting disc would be best option I think.

    You push a file, lift, retract and push again to cut. Don’t pull while it’s in contact with the metal.

    • @GarageKnight
      @GarageKnight  3 роки тому +2

      Yeah that's true for the files with "teeth". I don't know if it's visible in the video but that's a diamond file, which doesn't have teeth, so the direction doesn't matter. Thanks for bringing it up anyway

      @@litahsr.8226 Sorry for not answering earlier. For some reason UA-cam had automatically marked your comment as spam so I didn’t see it before. Anyway, I think this hinge should work if you just bend and modify it a bit. Like you see in 3:32, this hinge can fully fold on itself. So, if you would bend the hinges were the rivet holes are and then attach it where your fingers are in pic number 3, it should work. Something like in these pictures: ibb.co/Bnks8bp I drew 2 version of what might work. Either bend them in a small angle or then make two 90-degree bends if needed. But in this case, I think the first version should work. You can make a cardboard mockup of the hinge to see what I tried to tell in those poorly drawn pictures. Hope that helps
