Yes!! it only took me 6 hours to solder a hinge to a locket that I am making for an assignment. Tomorrow I start the clean up and removal of the fire stain that undoubtedly is present. What a day, but I don't understand why it went wrong. I had the 2 pieces of the locket fitting perfect face to face. The position of the hinge I took the edge out with a round file. The hinge was made of 3 pieces the idea was 2 soldered on one locket piece, and one solder on the other. I had the 2 soldered pieces on perfectly, but the issue was with the middle single piece. Eventually I got all 3 solder joints to go, but it was a hassle. I wonder if I should have used a thicker tube, I used 3.0 mm.

It seems a good and tight hinge, hope it can take the clean up. Will photo and let you see, but if anyone has any further ideas what I could have done better, please do let me know.
