Default Hinge jig

The jig used to bend the hinges was made from scrap bits of angle, rod and plate welded (crudely) together. The photos show the jig and the bending sequence scribbled on some wood that has probably since been fed to Lucifer. The bending had to take place in phases as I couldn't work fast enough the do the full bend in one heating of the stock. I was using an oxy-acetylene torch for the heating. If you have access to a forge, it might work better.
