Instead of bolting or screwing the hinges on, I would recommend rivets.

Rivets??

Pop rivets.  Rivet gun.  Etc.  Google search.



Gun and starter kit is like $20-30 and is useful for attaching MANY things.  Leaves flush attachment on both sides (if you use the right size rivet...unlike the guy in this video)

Wow, I have been to Canada many times and had some of my largest beers there, oh yeah, those were glass mugs.

How about gas stations that serve 44 ounce plastic cups for soda fountain drinks??

Your gaunts look great!  I'm planning on using plastic cups as well; glad to know Target already has them, because I've had no luck at Wally World.  Is the light just an LED?
