For my design, the most crucial part of it was to see if the hinge could actually work the way I wanted. I had a lot of skeptics thinking it would not work but alas it did. Surprisingly, when I went to WoodCraft in Canton they did not understand the hinge I was talking about. I then found an ordinary European hinge and decided to try my luck manipulating that. It worked perfectly. It does the exact swaying I want, and meets at an exact 90 degree to 180 degree hinge. This was just the first trial photos, but it did work. I need to now use better materials that can show the exact thickness I want and go from there. I am still not sure if this is the perfect solution, but at least I know now that it can be done.
The photos are out of order as well, so the ones in the middle with the clamps are the ones that worked. As of now, I fore see running into a few problems, but will address them as soon as I make a better working model.
