Hi Andries. Both hinges are brass plated steel, but the broken one was very light duty, like for a little box. I also tend to throw them in the fire after chemical treatment to make them look like a relic. I think the heat treatment was the cause of failure on the little hinge. The big one will not fail!
Hey Thank you very much for your kind words on my page... Guitars, guitar amps, pickups, fill my dreams... every one can build his dream... Thanks again ...°<[:-) [---]==={...

Hi Andries, great to hear your slides arrived safe. I like to use strings with plain wire. Some must be wound, but as many plain as allowed. Nickel rockers are good. I've been playing in open G and C6. Each uses different gauge strings. I suppose flat wound would be good, but i've not tried them. Have fun! ... Dave

Howdy Andre,
Yes most every build gets designed on the computer....I find it gives me a reference , and keeps me focused on the end result.
