How
to Make a Hinge 
We
make three sizes of butterfly (also called dovetail) hinges in Molly's
shop. These are small hinges for cabinet doors based on a style
popular in the 17th and 18th centuries. We took photographs while
we were working on some hinges.
 We’ve
added a description of the process, and for blacksmiths offer more
information about tools and processes. Click on the Blacksmith Notes
graphic to take you to that information for that section.
We
hope you enjoy this description of making a hinge and are especially
interested in feedback on how to make the presentation better. Let
us know if the information is (or is not) clear, if there is too much,
or too little, and if you would like to see more sections on the site
about things that are made in Molly’s shop. Send
a note to us.
