There have been old posts of people using a forming jig to make the hinge on patchboxes. I have one made by a member of our gunmakers guild. We are thinking of having a class on making patchbox hinges at our gunmakers fair in August. Depending on how much member interest we have, we may want to purchase a few for those taking the class. We don't want to burden the guy who made mine with making them. Does anyone on the forum make these for sale?
The moderators can move this to the for sale/want to buy forum if they wish. I didn't feel comfortable posting it there because I can't say at this point we want to buy some. I'm just networking to see who we can buy them from if we decide to go that route. I need to make a report of my findings at our next meeting on Saturday April 13th.
