Master craftsman Dale Nish taught me how to make an amazing wood hinge for boxes.  A wooden dowel is cut into segments, a shallow hole is drilled in the center of each dowel and a small pin is inserted into the hole for the dowel segments to pivot on. I've made thousands of boxes using this style of hinge and I have designed four jigs to precisely drill the hole in the center of dowel segments (the most difficult task).  

Product Details

  • Four individual wood-hinge drill jig sizes available: 1/4", 3/8", 1/2" & 3/4"

  • Each individual wood-hinge drill jig includes one dowel jig, drill bit holder, drill bit, and Allen wrench.

  • 1/4" & 3/8" drill jigs come with a 1/16" drill bit.

  • 1/2" & 3/4" drill jigs come with a 1/8" drill bit.

  • Opposing set screws hold the drill bit securely in the holder and allows for adjustment of the hole depth.

  • Port holes in drill bit holder expel the sawdust to prevent clogging.

    All in all a great idea. My only suggestions would be , some way to change the diameter of the drillbit if desired. Also the inside dimension is exactly 3/8 which it’s supposed to be, but I’m having issues with store-bought dowels not fitting. The dowels are exactly 3/8 of diameter, but are way too snug to fit into the jig. Not quite sure how you would solve that problem. including shipping everything was a little bit on the expensive side for what you get.

    Great tool.

    Excellent addition to my toolbox. Works great. Only problem with it is it makes me want to buy it in all the different sizes. Great product. Exceptional craftsmanship as I have become accustomed to buying Rob's products.

    Amazing tools

    Purchased the 3/8"Wood-Hinge Drill Jig with a 3/8"Box core bit.
    Watched Rob on a video about six times. Then after taking some pictures of the video and practicing countless numbers of times I had success on the scrap pieces of wood.
    Finaly after all that I made my real cuts on the Jewelry box. Wow success and the pieces of the puzzle actually fit.
    Thank you Rob for the product and Ken for talking me through the process. Pictures to follow soon.
