I will have to see if they make that type of hinge small enough. Lenny ----- Original Message ----- From: "Betsy Whitney" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, December 07, 2008 6:27 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] jewelry making storage case
Aloha Lenny, I used to have a typewriter in a case and I could remove the lid. The hinges at the back of the case were made such that I opened the case and slid it to the side and took it away. The top of the case had what looked like the pin that would slide into a door hinge. The bottom half of the case had the long tubular section. The top just slid on and off with ease. I hope I'm been clear.
