Living hinges are amazing!

I’m still getting the feel for things. The latest play was with living hinges. I created one with a really fine pitch with a goal of seeing if could bend 1/8" plywood into a pipe shape.

Sure can. Surprisingly tight bend.

Now to play with a bunch of different fastener free end joins in between making some promo items for a local restaurant!

That has a wonderful look.

That looks like about as tight a circle as you can get. For future reference, what is the circumference?

It does! I really like the look of the tiny ribbing vs. the larger gaps that are often used.

~52mm or so in diameter.

That’s really nice!

(And just to ride my personal hobbyhorse, you can also do scores on one side that will get you bending radius not as tight as a living hing but with an opposing side that’s apparently solid. And available for marking.)
