Should've just bolted some metal hinges to it.
I wonder if anyone has ever cut some boards and bolted them to the sides of the trunk where the hinge ends would be to strengthen the hinge on heavy leaners?
Of course a guide line pulling against the lean would be faster, easier, more practical...
Also coming in late. So, yea you about cut the hinge off, but what I quickly noticed was how the was a wee bit of under cut on the face, and the hinge was able to just split, so you lost a lot of tension holding fibers when the back cut went over the over deep bottom face cut.
