[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 428091, member: 13599"] I have been looking at the off-set aluminum piano hinges and they have REALLY gone up in price since I bought some 5 years ago. almost $10 per foot on the average. If you can not find any within your budget, you can check into how much a 2" wide flat hinge is and then check your local metal fab shop to see how much their bending fee is. My local metal shop charges $5 per bend. MSC has the 2"x72" alum hinge for $19. so with the $10 to bend = $29 each total vs $60 if you bought it already off-set. plus - you can have it bent to your exact specs. basically, you could could look at it as two custom formed hinges for the price of one factory off-set. just something for you to research before you get to that stage of your build.
