I am making a toybox for a very good friend of ours. Everything was going wonderful until the last few days. First I snapped a drill bit off flush with the wood when predrilling the holes for the hinge screws. 5 mins later when carrying the top out of the way I hit the edge of my bandsaw and scratched the top. I decided to call it a night and address it the next day. (after a few choice words) After sanding, steam ironing the dent out. I managed to repair most of the damage.
I purchased two non mortisen hinges from wood worker supply and two slow close rod type things. (upon the advise of the employees there) Tonight while putting on my hinges everything was going great until I put on the slow close rod things. This is what I got. the first to pics are fine. When you close the lid, the rods press the lid back and up, bending the hinges.:BangHead::BangHead::BangHead:
