Welcome! / Forums / Project Series / Tool Chest / Brass Hinges?
Is anyone else having trouble finding hinges? I can order some from Lee Valley but I was hoping to find locally… I can find lots of 2″ hinges but hardly any 2.5″ hinges. The 2.5″ hinges I have found are 2.5″x2″ which make them a bit too wide for the 3/4″ wood. Do you guys think 2″ hinges would be OK (looks and strength)?
If I order from Lee Valley, they have 2.5″x1.5″ and 2.5″x1 3/8″. I am not sure which would work better? I would think the 1.5″ but that hinge uses #8 screws and the 1 3/8″ uses #6 screws and I think PS said he used #6 screws so maybe 1 3/8″ is appropriate.
I am also looking at other ways of keeping the lid from falling back. Not sure I like the chain. Any alternatives?
Hey Berry,
These look cool.

Not sure which size though. Anyone have experience with these?
Nice chest RL! Looks like the large version of the Brusso hardware, is that right?
