Title: Barrel hinges
Post by: kardar2 on November 05, 2015, 12:31:11 am

Hello,
Where would I fingers barrel hinges? Not sure if the big box stores would carry them. I am wanting to make a ring box. Thanks for the help

Hi,
Just a quick search shows they are available at Walmart, Amazon.com, Rockler, Home Depot, and
smaller retailers like Grainger.
Good luck and God Bless! Spirithorse

You might wish to practice installing those barrel hinges as they are a bit more tricky than they look.  Just a suggestion however.

Really? I bought the book creative wooden boxes from a scroll saw. It looks easy. Thank you for the heads up.  If it were you would you just use regular  hinges? I will give it a try in some scrap wood.

Give it a go ... just be as accurate as possible when drilling the holes.  It can be tricky but if done right looks fantastic.
