Hi All,

I find Figure 8 sewn hinges light, very flexible, easy to do and cheap.

I made a template to space 5 holes about 3/32 apart. I drill through with a 1/32 bit in a hand mandrel.(10 holes per hinge)

I use polyester thread. I cut off 2ft. or so and tape it to the bench with the end of the thread hanging over. I put a clothespeg on the end to make it hang down straight. I then coat the thread 2-3in. above the peg with CA. This makes 'a needle' from the thread which works great. It is easier than threading a needle.

I double hinge the area where the control horn is.

Much easier and faster than slotted hinges for me. I like the 'old school' look.

Take care,
Have fun,
