Hinge For Salt Box

[Jim Burr]

Ha!!! Yeah I was very ill at the time...drug induced no doubt! I'd stick 1/4 to 1/3 in the lid. My lids are usually 1/2" thick so I'll stick 1/4" of the pin in the lid. Thanks for pointing that out

[Dave Bell]

And, Jim Burr hasn’t visited the creek since 2014!!!!!

I am pretty sure he is not going to respond to these requests.

[Dave Fritz]

So does anyone have his plans? Or other tips and tricks to line up the magnets? Obviously it's a relevant topic.

For anyone else looking, googling jim burr hinge salt box got me to what I presume is the tutorial he mentioned all those years ago.

Adam -- Google's search results are dependent on a user's prior search history. So, it would be nice if you were to post a link to the tutorial you found.

I believe we aren't allowed to post links to other forums, but my search found his tutorial was posted on Family Woodworking (mods if this isn't allowed please act accordingly). I also found an Intractable that gives a decent description of techniques I've used before. If this link isn't allowed, please remove it:https://www.instructables.com/Salt-C...agnetized-lid/
