Insert Pin
Before
After
Round over end grain side of two
same thickness boards with a round over
bit with a radius of 1/2 the board
thickness.
Use working jig from the box joint and
cut boards as if making a box joint, but
cut rounded end grain edges.
Assemble joint and drill a hole the
diameter of the hinge pin (brass,
aluminum, or steel) through the side of
the pieces after joining.
Insert pin in hole drilled for hinge.
NOTE: Hole must be in the center of
the fingers or joint will bind when
rotated.
TIP: Assemble boards in a straight line
when drilling hole not as a right angle. It
is easier to allign the two boards in a
straight line.
