Opalyn w/ her spinning wheel, a door-in-progress, and a bunch of snaps of free-handing some root slabs for the Proenneke hinge.
Follow up photos to the
wood hinge progress.
Hand-carved hinge piece. Beau on the band saw and hand auger. Amir with the amazingly large wrench. Break to admire Rebecca 's beautiful bread! Beau demonstrates the wood hinge pin. Operation of the mocked up prototype model at Cooper Cabin used to take real-world measurements back to the
workshop at base camp.
Building this hinge was really gratifying - working with wonderful antique hand tools to build a simple but beautiful piece. I hope it works when installed!!
