I live in the northwest and my baby daughter (32 yrs old) from Texas
was visiting and we went to a store that sells wood products. She
wants a jewelry box! We saw several and I have a reasonable idea of
what she wants.
They were 1/2" thick.The hinges (looked to be 1/2"x3/4") for the lid
were put in a slot that was cut into the edge of the wood where only
the pivot part of the hinge was showing.
Would someone be kind enough to tell me what the slot cutter is
actually called and or where I could look for one? I looked in my
Grizzly catalog and didn't find anything that I though would work.
Thanks, jaq

Try searching for "kerf-cut hinge" or "barbed hinge". The hinges are
inexpensive. The cutting blade and mandrel are quite expensive. See:
