My current problem for joints is parts selection. I don't have the 2 & 3
fingered hinge plates that would be needed for the other approach I'd
envisioned. I think they would work well, but I'm not sure if the length of the
legs would be too much out of proportion. The other worry is colour selection --
are hinge plates available in all appropriate colours? I don't know. So for now
I'm just following the old fashioned route.
