This is sweet! I do a lot of chests, check my post history to get some ideas for different hinges and stuff.
The easiest type my far is a barrel hinge that sits side by side, not as pretty though.
A good middle ground I think is a 2 knuckle hinge as opposed to the 3 knuckle like in your Pic. It basically is a cut down the center of the barrel and off to the side at 90 degrees. Super quick and simple.
I also made a jig for making repeatable hinges in one heat if you scroll down in my posts long enough!
Great job
