Miniature hinges
This is the way I make hinges as small as 5mm square (closed) Materials required are pins (from the wife's needle work box) small brass tube (in which the pin is a good fit) Thin brass sheet (About 1mm thick). Only need a small strip so can file down thicker, silver solder & flux. Silver solder the tube along the edge of the sheet. The tube is longer than the sheet so the solder will not capillary into the ends. Pieces of solder placed in position on the flux before heating, as soon as it runs remove the heat or the brass will melt being so thin. I use fire cement to hold things in position, as soon as the heat is applied it sets, a light tap with a hammer will remove it on completion. The cement is best kept in small quantities in separate plastic bags with a drop of water, to prevent it going off. I did try soft solder but it melted when the knuckles are ground next. 🔨
