Steve could do it without much trouble.  Piano hinges, as mentioned by

Coupons - accused me of using copies.  Uhmm, no.  First, anything I use is 
obtained directly by me from the companies that print the coupons, and 
second corporate had already said the ones I was using were legit.  The

That's as much as I'll get into in here, but the guy really should have 
known better.
