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!

Leather makes a nice hinge, infact a leather slip cover over wood or an
existing 3-ring binder is awesome. If you're a little adept at leather,
Tandy sells a kit thats precut you can tool and lace.
