Title: Gold plated hinges for turned boxes
Post by: galerg on May 23, 2012, 12:08:22 AM

Hi everbody , help please , does anyone know a source of supply for 3" gold plated hinges for turned boxes , I used to get these from Meatime Design ,but alas they are no more , have visited all the online sites I can think of , including Phil Irons ,where I believe some of the Meantime products  are stocked now, but all seem to only offer 2" , having allready aquired the timber it is very frustrating not to be able to source the hinges. Any guidance would be apreciated.

Hi
These are not on Jon's price list.

They are "in stock" at Craft Supplies.

Even if not in stock Jon may be able to get them for you...

Hi Andy Tony , more investigating and having chatted to Phil Irons seems not very likely to be able to get these at 3" in gold plate finish , so have gone for the ones in stock at Craft supplies which are a bronze type of finish which will do the job , thanks for your help and suggestions.
