I started building one of these this weekend, as done in the Autumn issue of Woodworking. I'm not sure if its the picture of it on the cover or Chris's mastery of wood and printed word. But I knew shortly after I first thumbed through the magazine that I would have to build it. Its been a great project thus far! (pics to follow in a day or so)

Anyone ever made their own strap hinges like whats on the box, I'd like to try if I can gather enough information.

Thanks
Matt
