Yup.
Looking down vertically they shouldn=E2=80=99t show,
from the side you should see them.=20
I hand made mine in 1979, the hinges have
moved and been reset many times since,  so
they are showing too much but are still much
better than the replacement =E2=80=9Cbeaded=E2=80=9D ones
a lot of guys are running.
