EXPANSE - A wall mount space themed cabinet (5-12, Cabinet Complete)
<< < (11/35) > >>
DaOld Man:
I used this type of hinge on A Little Rage.
Dont know how they would work with a very thin door, I used 1/2" MDF.
But maybe you could glue some braces to the door, the width of the hinge foot, running across inside width of door to re-enforce it?
I also used nuts and bolts in the door part of the hinge, and threaded inserts and bolts on the cabinet wall.

(You have a nice project, very professional looking router cuts).


Mike A:
Use magnets. Then you can pull the panels off completely for servicing.

Thanks for the ideas, and positive comments. I'm trying with the router. It's quite the machine.

I actually really like this idea. Something I never considered. Magnets with really subtle pull straps exposed would honestly be easy, cheap, and great. Thanks Mike.

Have used magnets from dead/ancient hard drives before for other projects, pretty strong, maybe an option ?
Mike A:
There are rare earth magnets of all sizes available on Amazon.
