Yes, I know, there are potentially many - but let's not get into that...
Although I've used PE for several of my builds, I recently had my first go at Aber German tool-clasps with workable hinges. I followed the instructions precisely - this is where the title comes in: 'I was only following orders'
and after two days of struggling I managed to get ONE done, but only by cheating and using glue...you see, the instructions called for the use of a 0.2mm piece of wire to make the hinges; but it appears the design of the PE (but, crucially, not the instructions) was changed at some point, incorporating a little PE bridge in the parts, negating the need for wire
Once the penny, Groschen, cent finally dropped, assembling the hinges became almost child's play...
You live and learn...
Cheers,
Dierk
