Help with pen case hinge?

[vb-matt-36]

Hi everyone, I was hoping someone may be able to help, I am making some pen cases to go with some pens I recently made but I am finding it difficult trying to find some hinges to go on the cases, are they called barrel hinges? or do they have a different name? I live in the UK and if anyone knows where I can buy some I would be gratefull if they let me know, thanks!!

They are barrel hinges and you can get them at PSI, Wood craft, Rockler (where I get mine), or various other places. Just drill a 5mm hole and insert hinge. Edges need to be chamfered to allow the box to open properly.

try googling Martin's, in Birmingham I think, or Woodfit, they both carry loads of goodies

I'm certain they would do mail order to the UK!
