You probably have already thought of this, but when you build your case don't forget to use large/deep enough feet to protect that hinge. Can't wait to see it. Actually BD, I'm thinking of them for a pilot's case so the hinge will be at the top. It's a good point though. If one of these hinges were on ,say, an attache case, the feet would need to be high enough to keep the hinge off the ground. That said, this particular hinge is 6mm thick (2mm leather wrapped around a 2mm CF rod). Quote
CFM Frodo Posted May 20, 2020 CFM Report Posted May 20, 2020 could possibly be the reason you are not seeing a lot of leather hinges is the hinge is leather, it will stretch with time, the rod will become loose it is a fantastic idea, for an item that will not be used every day. their are reasons that we stopped using leather hinges and changed to metal that would be durability. i DO LIKE IT , Quote Singer 66, Chi Chi Patcher, Rex 26-188, singer 29k62 , 2-needles D.C.F.M
