Stained Glass Box Hinges
by Sheryl Davis
Please help Christmas projects in motion. I love your web site. Way to go. Sincerely, Sheryl Answer Hi Sheryl, The tube is copper. There is a copper rod that slides in the tube. Both pieces can be obtained from most stained glass suppliers. The tube is cut and soldered to the back of the lid. The rod is cut in half and both pieces are bent to an L shape. One end of the rod is slide into the end of the tube and the other end is soldered to the side of the box. That was an extremely basic description of how it's done. I will be writing a box making tutorial shortly after Christmas, but I know it won't do you much good now. Someone else asked the same question a few weeks ago. Here is where you can read my reply. If you have more questions about making the hinge, you can go here to Contact Me |

You can't imagine how much I wish I had found your incredible website before I spent many hundreds of dollars on lessons, dvd's, tutorials, etc. I can tell that everything I need to know can be found here. All I can say is "Thank You!" Larry
I can't thank you enough for this site. The new search feature is amazing and it makes it so easy to find exactly what I am looking for. Thank you again! Laurie
Your site is fantastic! I took a six week class four years ago and recently started again (after forgetting almost everything I learned!). I have to say that your site is excellent and I can't wait to practice the techniques you've shown. Scarlet
I'm a subscriber to your "Stained Glass Gems" and I just wanted to say THANK YOU for your wonderful site! This is by far the best glass site I've run across. I recently purchased your publication on Patina FAQ and it's very helpful for me... I like to have hard copies of info so I added it to my library. Suzanna |
