I am building a small chicken coop. If you will note the 2x2 on the lower front of the box. I do not want to attach so it is perment. I want be able to clean the coop by swinging the front panel up and out of the way and then sweep/clean the coop out. Any ideas on how to attach the 2x2 so it locks, but then can be unlocked and then swing up on a piano hinge? Thans

Alternate method:

#3.  Place a barrel bolt at each end of the 2X horizontal member.

Engage the barrel bolt into a drill hole in the vertical member.

(This approach will allow the removal of the 2X member, during cleaning).

Alternate method:

#1. (the horizontal member is shorter in length than the vertical member)

Hinge one end, allowing the 2X member to swing ''up'', and

place a barrel bolt on the opp end.

(Engage the bolt into a hole in the vertical member).

#2.  If the horizontal member is longer than the vertical member---

cut the horizontal member in half.

Locate a hinge at each end, that joins with vertical member.

Locate a barrel bolt, at the joined horizontal 2X member.

A couple of ways to solve the front timber,

1. A couple of pins inserted from each end.

2. Kreg screw it the same way

3. Use rare earth magnets

4. build the 2x2 into a tray then simply slide it out and then tip it out

New Kreg 720Pro

I saw the video Kreg put out for this new jig and had high hopes for it.

I purchased one today and am very disappointed with it.

First the docking station is extremely cheap. The plastic is pathetic. A Lego has more…
