Some time back, I volunteered to do a tutorial on installing quadrant hinges. But to install quadrant hinges, you need a box and I didn't have any plans to build a box anytime soon. Scott Krallman contacted me and volunteered to send me a box to do the tutorial. He did send it and I completed the tutorial. You can see it here (http://www.mikes-woodwork.com/QuadrantHinges.htm).
If you find any errors or have questions about any of the steps, please let me know so I can improve it.
Mike
P.S. I posted this in general woodworking because I used both power and hand tools to do this job. If it should be somewhere else, Mods, please move it.

Mike another great job on the tutorial thanks for posting.
Mike I was looking at your other tutorials which I have looked at before and have found them equally done as well but in trying to open up your sand shaded fan (http://www.mikes-woodwork.com/Papers/Making a Veneer Sand Shaded Fan.pdf) it doesn’t let me open it ? I was just wondering if for some reason it was my computer or if it was on your end as I can open all the other ones?
Thanks Richard

Thanks for your kind words, Richard. The sand shaded tutorial is a PDF. I don't know why I did it that way but I did. If you have trouble downloading it, send me a PM with your email address and I'll send it to you.

Hey Mike, I forgot to ask this when I first read the tutorial...
You mentioned these were Brusso. Have you used other brands and do you have a favorite quadrant hinge?

I've used a variety of brands over the years. But I don't build boxes that often and usually shop around when I need quadrant hinges. There's a Woodcraft I teach at and I usually just see what they have. If it looks good in my hand, I'll buy and use it.
I have used Brusso in the past, and they're good hinges - just expensive.
