The hinges are marked on the side that faces the wood.

 

The handles are one piece.  You make a squat  uppercase H with a wide crossbar
out of wood.  Carefully mark the centers on the ends (this is the most important
part).  Turn the crossbar round.  Cut the ends to a shape you like.

Looks great.  Do the hinges have the SW logo on them??  Like Shaker boxes, you
could have them in all sizes.  Are the handles made in one piece of board, then
the unturned areas shaped?  Handles well proportioned, I’d say.

Thought I would post some pictures of a relatively quick, inexpensive, skill
building project that results in something useful.  Pretty much all done with
hand tools.
