This folding screen is mean to be a gift for my 75 year old mother. Even though I made it with hollow core construction, and each panel is light enough for her to handle, I fear that all three together would be too much for her to move around her house if she wanted to. So I devised a hinge system that allows the panels to be easily separated, moved, then reassembled by one person.
I made up these short leather straps with snaps, and attached matching snaps to the edge of each panel.
By crossing them over onto the back of the panel, I get a hinge with 360 degree action that can be detached and reattached in seconds.
Now for a beauty shot of the fully assembled screen. It looks crooked cause my driveway is sloped.
And indoors
Beautiful piece, hinge execution is remarkable.
Going to give you a follow to see if some of your genius rubs off!
Thanks for the kind words:) Enjoy!
That's a winner, those hinges are slick. Your idea ? Have you seen them before ? That's sheer genius, cant say I've seen it.
I think I got the idea from something like this.
that came out great......good idea on the hinges.... Yer Moma is a lucky woman
I couldn't have said it better myself.
Very nice! That's really clever with the hinges.
Gorgeous work! Love the figure throughout!
