Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this mess?

Got any pictures ?

Nearest thing I've had to that was a wooden hinge with brass rod in it
as a pin. I sawed and whittled the cheek of the hinge piece a little
shorter, so that I could grab the end of the drill and pull it out.
Then I chewed up the other three faces to match, and made brass
washers to fill the gaps. It looked "obvious but deliberate" once I'd
finished.
