To druxey: I'm almost ashamed to say this, but the elliptical  frame is made with a CNC milling machine.

To Dowmer: Hinges are made of a brass tube 1.0 / 0.2 (ie. the inner diameter is 0.6 mm). A groove with a length of approx. 0.6 mm is milled into this tube with a 0.5 mm milling cutter, the tube is then cut to a length of approx. 1.2 mm. The 0.5 mm brass nail (0.5 mm brass wire can also be used) is bent at a right angle and the nail is inserted into the tube so that it fits into the notch. This assembly is soldered with silver solder.
