This hinge was on an old box car that the farm used to store items next to their grain silos. I know that the farm is around 100 years old and this box car has to be near that old. I'm not a train expert, but when I went online looking up wooden box cars I didn't see any that had doors that open this way. Most of the doors slide on a rail and don't open out on a hinge like this one. It was pretty cool find.
"If we had hinges on our heads
There wouldn't be no sin,
'Cause we'd take all the bad stuff out
And leave the good stuff in."

Again, messing around with my mobile phone and it's apps - This one was from Vigenette (Android)
Detail of a large rusty steel wheel (maybe 6 feet across) with these elaborate gear teeth running around the outside. At the mill of the old May Lundy Mine, Lake Canyon, east of Yosemite. I have no idea why the gear teeth are hinged like this!
There are black and red bushings in black, red, blue, grey, and other hinges. Relatively easy to remove from a hinge using an axle. External diameter is the same as the stud diameter, therefore it is a very useful element. One of the applications shown here - any brick-to-brick connection is very strong, without comparison to the skeleton arm.
This is a '63 Nova, heavily modified for drag racing. Its "killer feature" is the hinged front bodywork, allowing easy access to the engine bay. It was a bit of a challenge trying to implement this without compromising the structural stability of the thing, but it remains a very strong and playable model, so I'm pleased! I resisted the urge to put racing stripes or a 2-tone livery on this one because I figured it would actually be more unique and interesting to have an entirely dark azure car. As a consolation prize, it does at least spit fire.

Cars at this scale are often very stingy and don't allow to go bonkers within the scope of legal connections. However, with careful LDD-assisted design, some delicious hinging can eventually be achieved.
This one even allowed to fit a diffuser and an opening bonnet. I wanted to do this in a single colour, but didn't have the required parts - however, I might get back to this model at some point.
Either way, here's my periodic dose of 4-wides for all you gals, hope you're enjoying them as much as I am!
Merchant towns always have a few good cheesemongers, usually with a sideline in drinks. Slice the building and take a look inside!
I first thought they were lingas but was corrected: these(3 of them on either side) are knobs that held the huge door, now they don't.

Another way to put a hinged box on a top is with clips. They're not as strong as Technic hinges, but have the advantage that the center of rotation is outside the box, so the lid can close neatly. Clip hinges usually require require some half-plate spacing.

Top 1: Studs up lid with fully exposed hinge, like you'd see on a pirate chest.
Top 2: Studs up with partially concealed hinge.
Top 3: Lid with studs to the left.
Bottom 1: Lid with studs to the right, exposed hinge.
Bottom 2: Lid with studs to the left, exposed hinge.
Bottom 3: Lid with studs to the left, ending in a headlight brick.
This box, designed in late 2020, is decorated with a shamrock, and folded from a single square of Tant paper. In contrast to most of my box designs, in which the lid is separate from the bottom part, this one is single-part and opens via a hinge. Two large flaps on both sides lock underneath a pleat that goes along the bottom of the box, making it possible to close the box quite neatly.
In order to limit the design to the convenient 16×16 grid, I ended up with a slit between the closed lid and the front wall. Using a slightly larger grid, it should be easy to add a small flap in front of the lid and ensure that in closed state, nothing can fall out of the box.

One way to put a hinged top on a box is with Technic.

Top left: I think of this as the official LEGO hinge, as seen in sets like 40118 Buildable Brick Box. It's bulky but very strong.
Top right: Opposing modified plates joined with a pin. Fairly strong and closes neatly.
Bottom left: Opposing modified plates, without using the relatively new inverted one. The opening exactly fits two opposing cheese slopes.
Bottom right: Modified 2x2 plate pinned to a 1x2 Technic brick. Also quite strong, but leaves a gap at the back of the box.
If you want to go studs-out on five sides, here's an example using hinged plates. A bit complicated, but sturdier than the clip hinges, and about as sturdy as most of the Technic hinges.

I saw this hinge, and the door finish, and it impressed me. The finish on the door was perfect.
It looks like there are flats on the bolt-looking things.
The whole hinge looks handmade.
I'm unsure where I saw this.
