I'm about to build the NYW jewelry box and was about to order the hardware. The hinge the plan refers to (Rockler Item 62808) is no longer available. I haven't been able to find another 3/8 by 16" long stopped piano hinge elsewhere.
I was thinking that http://www.leevalley.com/hardware/page.aspx?c=2&cat=3,41241,41264,46487&p=46487 (http://quadrant hinges would be stronger anyway, since the lid is supported by the knuckle instead of by the screws.
But it seems like it would be VERY difficult to cut the hole for the arm that goes inside the wall of the box.

Another option might be a pair of these. (http://www.leevalley.com/hardware/page.aspx?c=2&cat=3,41241,41245,46492&p=46492)

I might be able to use barrel hinges; they look super-easy to install, but I'm not sure if they'd work in this application.
