8. I thought about one of those.

Do you think 1/2 inch plywood would be able to hold it? My model is OSB but the actual material will be more like birch. I just worry about it splitting when I screw it in. Otherwise that would be perfect.

You are correct, the European-style hinges are just a little bit too big, as well as the inside mount would cause problems when opening the door. Not to mention that some of them have to have a spot drilled out for them, and I don't have the skill to do that. The KISS principle is kinda important for my abilities

That's two suggestions for antique hinges. I'll definitely check that out.

Thanks for the help!
