Thanks everybody! They were oooh'd and aaah'd over on both counts. Absolutely the best feeling when you see someone's eyes light up over something you made for them!

@Danny --- The screws for those hinges
were too long (3/8") for the 1/4" wood, however, simply snipping them in half with a pair of side cutters took care of that. Still left enough thread on the shaft of the screw to hold firmly, and I pre-drilled the holes, so I didn't need a point on the screws anyway!
