Hello all!
I make small boxes--meaning everything from 1x2" and to 8x10's. For the smaller boxes, I've searched waay too long to try to find some nicer small size solid brass hinges.
Most of the ones in "popular" places [Lee Valley/Woodcraft/HD/Lowes....] seem to be too big, too mass-produced looking, too cheesy. Unfortunately, I can't find enough sets from other cannabalized items.
So, could someone let me in on their secret supplier or maker? Doesn't have to be Stradivarius--just not terribly run-of-the-mill.
Thank you!

I found hinges for the few small boxes that I've made at craft stores or craft suppliers on line. Try orientaltrading.com, crafts2u.com or factorydirectcraft.com. Do a search at each site for hinges. They seem to have a variety. Factorydireccraft.com seemed to have the most.
