  I meant 'thick' hinges.

  Thanks, James! This one is made with half of a hinge, metal rod from Lowes, and a bottle opener. I put the hinge in a vise, feed the rod thru the hinge, bend the rod, and cut it off at the length I want. Then thread the end I'd the rod with a tap and die set. Sometimes I cut out brass parts from think hinges, such as the string-thru part and hinge part on my last tailpiece. Thanks for asking!

  Thanks Jim! I'll put those 2 openers in the mail on Monday. I like your zippo tailpiece, it inspired me to use a copper zippo for a 3 pole humbucker cover.
