In ,
dropped this bit of wisdom:
Am building a blanket chest 46" by 28". Want the top to be 48" by 30"
therefore giving me a 1" overhang on all four sides. The customer
insists the overhang be on all four sides. Cannot think of what kind
of hinge to use. She also would like the hinge to not be visible when
top is closed. Is this possible? If so, any recommendations for a
hinge that would let the top open to about 100 degrees. Thanks.
