Got the next pair of wales bent & stained, just letting them dry before gluing.

In the meantime, made up a little jig to do some capsquares. Used 0.1mm copper sheet, sanded both sides so it would accept blackening later, cut some 1mm wide strips and knocked out a couple dozen in less than an hour. I may try messing around with some rivet heads, but that's about as far as those will be going... IMO, this is too small of a scale to be worrying about hinges/pins.
