Ok so am I the first person that has built something without thinking about the hinge placment first? Hope not.
Here is the question I Have a simple chest with squared legs and panels in between, I did not think about the placment of the hinges prior to making the plan and now have a delima of the overhang and hinge placment. I think I will need some sort of offset hinge or side mounted spring hinges that will lift back when raising. Here is a diagram the overhang is a little shy of 1/2 " over the legs the thin line is the top. The legs are 1 7/8" squared.
Any Ideas welcome
