This may not be a big deal, but I thought I'd put it out there---
I'm building a SS and I have a discrepancy between the plans drawing and the supplied stock. I'll try to make this understandable---but it seems like the goal of the final hinge is to have 2 interlocking leaves per hinge. That way the door has 2 points of support per hinge on each hinge pin. However as you can see from the pictures, this is not possible with the supplied stock.
My question is: Is it OK to cut the supplied stock into quarters (thus yielding the 1.5 inch width necessary) but sacrificing the extra support, as now one side of the hinge will only have one support on the hinge pin. I hope this makes sense, and maybe it is not a big deal, but I thought I'd put it out there.
