Looking for a source for hinges

[Ken Shoemaker]

I'm looking for a source for brass plated 8" x 3/4" continuous (sp?) hinges for small treasure boxes for my grand-daughters. I've glotten them from Woodcraft but they more often than not are out when I need them. The closet Rockler to me is nothing short of a joke so that's not an option.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Heck, if you can't find it at Lee Valley, you probably don't need it. Have you ever checked out their hardware, or do you need a local source?

Another alternative if they are for surface mount and you want a stop position: http://www.leevalley.com/hardware/page.aspx?c=2&p=46492&cat=3,41241,41245&ap=1

check out this ebay store if you like. I have ordered several bags of hinges and pretty much like them. and price seems to be nice also.

Question: Why use a continuous (piano) hinge as opposed to regular butt hinges?

Just curious as to the reason.

In the past I have purchased long piano hinges from a hardware store and cut them to the needed length. It's a bit of a hassle but works fine if you take the time to make sure that the cut is square and cleaned up.
