Nice device MrRick. The aspect of this that I like the most is the wooden hinge. I've got to try one of these hinges someday, when I finish my grandson's bookcase. I'm assuming the half twist lock on the back is via a small bolt with the head in the wooden knob. Correct?

Thank you very much Oldtool! The wooden hinge was exciting to do. It is every time I do it. But it's alot of work. There is no lock on the back but rather the side knobs themselves. They just tighten. They are made with a dowel that's been tapped for a #10-32 thread. I then snipped off a piece of machine screw, CA glued about 1/4" of the end to be inserted and threaded in the tapped hole.
Here's a detail of the knob when I was making them. After they are made I chucked them up in my drill press and sanded.
Yeah that's right. I have made invisible flush hinge many times. One day I was testing one between two boards for making a box. The boards were lying flat on my bench and my cell phone next to it. I went for lunch. When I came back and saw everything the idea struck me that I could turn it into a small stand for the cell. I made it for myself and when I showed it....I was making many. It's alot of work though for a stand.
SplinterGroup.... I think some things are more involved then others and sometimes more complex. So IMO degree of difficulty can vary. If I were to charge for this I don't think I'd get the price I'd expect. The hinge making is labor intensive. Customers more often than not do not understand all that goes into it. Thats why there are alot of starving artists! Right? LOL 😆
