I'm making some small 5x7 frames. I would like to install a easel style rear leg to hold it up. Does anyone know of a source for the hinge??? Thanks Pat

Pat, I've made a whole whack of picture frames this way. What I do is go to the dollar store and buy frames for $1 each. Then I use the backing with the support, and the glass and throw away the cheap plastic frame.
Can't beat that I don't think.

Lee Valley, Rockler, and even Lowes and HD sell miniature hinges. If you are looking to make the back yourself or if not as Ryan said Dollar stores are a good idea. Also your local hobby shop will usually sell stuff like that.
Thanks for the replies, took Ryan's advice, went to the dollar store bought some frames and stripped off want I needed....Pat
