Why it worked

The video likely performed well due to its clear demonstration of a practical, DIY solution to a common problem (door hinges). The focus on simplicity, effectiveness, and the ability to handle heavy loads appeals to a maker/fabricator audience.

Summary

The video demonstrates the construction of a simple and effective door hinge. It shows a pin hinge made from a steel ball on top of a solid steel bar, with a piece of DOM tubing that fits over it. The creator plans to add a grease fitting for servicing, enabling it to handle doors weighing several hundred pounds and side loads.
