Hinges

 

I've been pondering the door hinges for the wooden WC for some time. The kit is provided with a couple of laser-cut plastic versions. These look nice, but of course, they won't work, and my inner child says it would be more fun if the door could be opened. 

Complicated, but accurate versions soldered up out of bits of brass and tiny tube were considered, but even if I did manage to make these, the process was going to be frustrating. 

Then I had a brainwave. Take a strip of brass, bend it around some rod, clamp it tightly, and glue it to the door. My initial idea for the rod, was to use a staple, but brass is weatherproof, and there was a better chance of the things working. 

Result - a couple of hinges that actually work. Time to make them, a couple of minutes, or about 1% of the time taken to come up with the idea!
