KITs
Master craftsman Dale Nish taught me how to make an amazing wood-hinge for boxes. A wooden dowel is cut into segments, a shallow hole is drilled in the center of each dowel and a small pin is inserted into the hole for the dowel segments to pivot on.
I've made thousands of boxes using this style of hinge and I have designed four drill jigs to precisely drill the hole in the center of dowel segments (the most difficult task). These jigs are available as a complete kit or as individual drill jigs.

United StatesWood hinge kit
3 hours after I placed my order I received an incredible surprise, a personal phone call from Rob Cosman himself to inform me that my wood hinge kit would be shipping next day. I admitted being stunned by the personal call and certain I sounded incoherent in attempting to thank Rob for all his efforts giving to the Purple Heart Project, plus free content he provides to advance our craft of woodworking. I’m happy to support Rob’s business and will in the future as well.

Product not used yet. But shipping was perfect as it arrived in time for the occasion.
United StatesAbsolutely Worth the $$$
Excellent jig. Don't waste your time and money (as I did) trying to make your own. Works great! Very well made! I would suggest the addition of a small quantity of 1/16" rods just to get started.

Excellent, simple product but machined well, cost was reasonable and worked great.
United StatesExpensive
Very nice product. The price reflects the quality. The machining is very good. I bought the whole set as opposed to individually purchasing each one to save money. It is a very simple setup and saves a lot of time. Rob called me personally after purchasing it to thank me which is top notch.
