Default hinges.

Donald Weber laid this down on his screen :
Hi, I am making wood boxes. sides and front is 1/4" and the back is 3/8". I
am old and its very hard to put screws in the hinges. is there other ways to
hinge a wooden box that I dont know of. Any remarks would be great. I
remain


Hi Donald.
Have you drilled pilot holes for the screws? A smallish hole about half
the size of the fattest part of the screw drilled 3/4s of the depth of
the screw makes screwing a lot easier. I always use a battery powered
screw driver too and that makes life a lot easier too.
