The Mighty Panokseon (Plank Board Ship)

If you’re going to make metal objects like door hinges, check out K&S brass tubing. Their round tubing is available in diameters down to 1/32”. They also offer square and rectangular sizes. A tiny piece of 1/32” tubing soldered to a small brass strap would make a hinge. Look for it on Amazon.

It’s looking very nice, but why go to the trouble of making working hinges for doors that will not be used? Card stock painted black is very good for simulating ironwork.

Because I’m not right in the head. I feel that I’ve been clear on that in this log.

But in all seriousness, as practice for the exterior doors, which will be visible. Mistakes are inevitable for first attempts at anything, so better to have those mistakes on the hard/impossible to see sections.

I originally thought about brass tubing, but the ones I had on hand was slightly too wide. I might give the tutorial Giampy65 posted a try, but if not, I'll revisit the tubing method as I didn't know they had some that ran down to the diameter. Good timing too since my coworker just gave me his old sodering iron about a month back.

I admire Giampy's work as well - but he is working at a larger scale than you. I think Namubiiru and Roger have it right...

A fair point to be sure. I still feel I'd like to give it another go, but if the second interior door doesn't go well, then perhaps static doors are the way to go for the this build. Cursed be my overly amitious nature!
