Sorry but I'm coming in late/didn't read the pre-thread,
howdja do the hinged covers?
I'm a little late as well, but just as interested in the topic.
I just failed miserably at this a few days ago.
What I'm trying to figure out is an attractive way to mount the
hinges.
I thought some fiberglass cloth would make a nice hinge,
If I could get it to only have epoxy on the wood part, but no luck.
The epoxy wicked into the 'hinge' part and cracked. Plus, I didn't
like the way the glass was glued to the binder.
I'm toying with an idea of using a piano hinge and somehow embedding
it in between a couple of very thin pieces of wood. Sort of like
making my own plywood.
I too, would be very interested in how people have successfully done
this before.
Thanks!
