Keepsake box: the hinges | Guitar building by hand

https://handguitar.wordpress.com/2015/01/18/keepsake-box-the-hinges

Guitar building by hand. Musings, tips and tricks from a budding guitar builder. Keepsake box: the hinges. January 18, 2015. A whole blog post about hinges? I eventually got them from had a ‘cheap’ and ‘expensive’ variety. I settled for the more expensive ones. They were a lot better: they opened and closed much more smoothly and had a nicer finish. After a bit of fiddling I got the lid to fit (more or less) seamlessly onto the box. It was a lot of work, but I think it was well worth the extra effort.

How can it be May already! Somehow May snuck up on me. Not only that, but it seems that it's nearly the end of May. How time speeds up so much when I'm not looking is baffling. Last week I sent a top up of work to the New Ashgate Gallery. You can see the selection on their website here: http:/ www.newashgate.org.uk/shop artists/7702/c/101/machi-waard/jewellery. And here are photos of some of the pieces which are now with the New Ashgate Gallery:. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). New Ashgate Gallery, Farnham.

Roses are red.or silver. I've been making roses for a woman who wanted to have a piece of jewellery to commemorate her late grandfather who was a keen gardener. First I made a ring, and then she also asked for matching earrings. It's a very different style to what I usually make - an interesting challenge to make them look like real roses.
