With the hinge pin in the hole, hold the hinge on a flat surface by the leaf that does not have the rounded-over edge and move the other leaf. If it moves freely, the hinge is ready to be completed (see Fig. 16). With the hinge pin still in the hole, cut it with a pair of wire cutters so that about 1/16" remains, as shown in Fig. 17. Tap it in flush with the hinge and apply a drop of glue over it to ensure that it will not work loose. The hinge is now finished. Fig. 19.

The escutcheon is glued to the center of the front face of the box. The square is set at 2-1/2" to center it. Glue the feet to the bottom, placing them by eye (see Fig. 20). Complete the boxes with satin Fig. 16. Testing the hinge. the saw table tiltsd 25°. Cut the feet and escutcheon so the edges taper inward from the top (the side with the pattern) to the bottom (the side against the saw table). If the right side of the saw table is tilted down, cut with the pattern to the right side of the blade.
