While the most obvious uses for hinges are cabinets and doors but those are far from the only uses for them. I see the designers on the DIY home and garden shows doing all sorts of interesting things with them. Most of their ideas are pretty simple and can be crafted quite inexpensively and I'm certain the directions for these projects can be found online. Reid carries all sorts of accessories - knobs, handles, fasteners, and more - so you should be able to find everything you need there.
