    That moment when... (inset hinges)

    ...you're building alcove units and realise you've run out of consealed inset hinges! D'OH! (homer) Do you think it's OK to use normal ones set on beautifully crafted stand-off blocks? I know it's a bit bodgy but I really don't think the customer will care and I don't have time to order in...
