Hello,

 

Just wondered if anyone had a guide on creating flip front hinges?

 

I just dont really want to spent £30+ on these: http://the-arc-angel...&product_id=131

My mate used mini door hinges on his project. Still a work in progress but the idea look good to be honest. I took some pics so I'll see if I can find them
