How the Heck Does This Hinge Hidden Within Layered Veneer Work?
The outer leaves of the veneer cover the hinge pin.
Yes, I agree. It doesn't seem like too much of a mystery. Probably as simple as a dowel through the inner veneers and glued to the outer veneers, with the spring action of veneers applying enough pressure to hold it in place.
i agree w Dan, probably a hinge pin or tube in all the layers but the outer most ones.
Actually, it's far easier then that.
Interleave a stack of playing
cards with another stack and there is a lot more friction then you
think. Same here. Interleave two stacks of walnut veneer and you end up
with more then enough friction to hold the pieces together.
You would need to be very careful in applying glue or use some sort of masking to exclude wood glue for the last few inches.
If
i were making this, I would also use 2 strips of copper tape between
specific layers of both pieces such that, when assembled, they form the
wiring for the LED.
