Welcome! / Forums / Project Series / Dovetail Boxes / Hinge trouble
Does anyone else end up bending the barrels on the hinges to remove the gap at the back of the box? My recesses were cut fine, i even angled a couple butt, i end up putting on block on the barrels and giving em a few hammer whacks and the gap disappears. Im using super cheap hinges, any reccomendations for better hinges that wont break the bank, or be the butt of woodworking jokes..
You can make the mortise deeper than “flush” to compensate as well. Lee Valley has a good selection. I ended up going to multiple local hardware stores before I found ones I was happy with.
