Subject: Good uses for door hinges?


At a garage sale this past summer I bought a box (40 of them) of what I
would say are barn door hinges. I bought four solid core doors at
another garage sale that day and I used the hinges and the doors to
build some flip up work stations along a wall of my garage. I am trying
to think of a few more creative ways to use the remaining hinges. I
know if I sold them I would think of the perfect use for them later.
Anyone have any suggestions?
T I A,
Dennis

This might sound odd. I have taken closet doors and hinged them =
together to make serving tables for family BBQ's. Just unfold them and =
place them on you folding saw horses and vuala you have a serving table.

We have a cable program in England called "The Salvager" (or le Salvager
for the 2nd series).
One of the projects was a knock-down double bed and the knock-down
hardware was made from 4 cast-iron warehouse (or barn?) hinges.
