Step 7Door and hinge
Make a hole in the fourth panel a little smaller than you want to door to be.
Leave extra to overlap the hole. The tabs need to be much bigger than on other things to fold twice - this hides any sharp edges.
I used a thin rod bent in a loop for the hinge. Make a long V-shaped piece to attach each side of the hinge. Make it wide enough to accomodate rivet holes. Fold the outer edges in to the middle, then fold in half - sharp edges on the inside. Put it together, then punch holes and rivet together.
You can put the fourth panel together and then punch holes in it with your jig. You can punch through all the layers, it's just a little harder.
