Hi all,
I'd like to make something along the lines of a clothes peg, only in stainless steel and with a tight/ smooth joint. I've attached a picture of what i envision. The problem I'm having is how to make the hinge?
Originally, I'd planned to make the 2 halves first, then clamp them together and run an endmill through the hinge point. Then, braze a hinge into the hole (middle portion brazed to one half, outer portions to the other half, then pinned together). But, I'm now thinking that the braze may get messy around what should be 2 sliding fit pieces. Is there a better way to do this? I have a lathe, mill and rotary table available.
Thanks in advance,
Lee
