Mini Spring Hinge is Done !!!

WessB

<p />After a bit of a delay, due to a dead grinder, I was finally able to finish my hinge project. I have added a picumentary with most of the details to the "Tips" section of my website for anyone interested in the details. This actually turned out better than I originally expected, the dome opening is unreal, access is awesome, and after some spring tweaking the operation is smooth and almost effortless. I`m happy with it....Happy New Year[p]Wess

WessB,[p]Very nice job! Now the question is what if I sent you a mini hinge, an old large hinge, and a half gallon of Crown Royal............ (grin)[p]Again, great job![p]Cheers,[p]Ed

WessB,[p]Looks great....can you tell us the dimension across the spring hinge assembly after you cut it down? It looks to be very critical to get that right. Again great job.[p]Semper Fi,[p]MC

WessB, very nice setup! Some would think it is a lot of trouble for "just a mini" but I definitely think it would be worth it for those steak sears and couples' cooks. Thumbs up!

WessB,[p]You will, of course, make me one of these..yes? My mini hinge has NEVER fit right. Now my firebox doesn't fit right. I think I'm having issues with this mini. So...do you take paypal?[p]mShark

Wess..... very very nice.
I'm green with envy.... and don't look now but I think you've created a monster..... all these requests..... this one may be hard to get out from under. [p]Do you really work for Crown Royal? :~)[p]John[p]

Marine Cook,
Thanks....it measures just under 6" wide...I didn`t consider it critical. The way I arrived at that measurement was by comparing the others.....Large SA hinge 8" wide, small SA hinge 7" wide...so naturally..Mini SA hinge........6"[p]Wess

MollyShark,
LOL..as I said...I don`t think it would be very economical if one had to buy the hinges to make this from...but hey, I may be able to figure something out.[p]Wess

WessB

Mark Backer,
