You are a very clever man. My tutor told me that, in order to be a good teacher, you need two things: a thorough knowledge of the subject and the ability to impart that knowledge. I have added: the willingness to impart that knowledge. You have it all in spades and, to reuse what may become an overused phrase: yet another day when I go to bed less stupid 🌞

[@codacreator6162]

Not stupid, ignorant. Stupid = can’t learn. Ignorant = hasn’t learned, yet. The simple fact that you’re here, with all of us, is proof you’re far from stupid. 😎

Cheers Ray! Hope your well and sleeping less stupidly! :)

[@HaggisPower]

My thoughts entirely.

[@southbayproducts5371]

Nice work thank you

[@violetspider_]

Nice, i see your frame sits on a table. How do i do that? Also what's the point of the second piece of wood on that wooden jig? Do you not have a guide spacer that comes with the router? There's router bits with a bearing on top to stop you going koo koo and invent a snail trail hinge

[@Shok79]

It takes too long to do hinges cut this way and you show us when you doing on the work table you should try this on fitted frame it’s not easy to do

[@BradshawJoinery]

Hi, i did a comparison video for this vs hand, and this is by far the best method.... check it out on the channel

[@paulmcgeoch2603]

I haven’t seen robin clevitt make half the stuff Bradshaw joinery makes and ur ripping him for a jig. Sort urself out guys ffs.

[@BradshawJoinery]

2 is the traditional way and should be good enough for an acclimated door that 35mm thick. Would need more for thicker heavier doors!

[@be4883]

question. what was the spray he used just before applying the glue?

[@ivanfinlay7758]

oh yes sooner the better before Mr clevett makes more money from those suckers out there great stuff as usual

[@BradshawJoinery]

Of course 👍

[@azza1793]

So true, i can’t believe that so many people are paying ridiculous money for a piece of mdf when they can simply make their own

[@Bradley.borg99]

mate this is brilliant as someone who doesn't do a lot of hinges and didn't want to buy a expensive jig this has come in really handy

[@gooseisloosewoo]

Love this, really useful. I’ve never thought about using a flush trim bit. You could make things even quicker by using radius hinges. Also, double-sided tape is your friend, use it to hold the jig in place on the doorframe.

[@sheridangatley8648]

Hi - interesting video, and I use a small jig for hinging single doors - however a chippy I had on my first build ( 10 doors - all the same size and height ) brought in a nice straight piece of carcasing timber made a jig with 2x hinge positions, chopped it to the exact length of the door and put a screw in the top of the jig set 4mm up. Here is the key. The same jig is used on the frame and the door. You level the top of the jig with the top of the door, and on the frame the screw datums with the underside of the head ( top of the frame ) - hence both routed hinge pockets align exactly. He did 8x doors in a day ( plus chopping out for the locks/latches. Gives you CNC accuracy since the Centre to Centre measurement uses the same jib - Boom. Massive time saver.

[@LeonWiddicombe]

Thats super clever. Removes any potential issues from "offering up the door" and marking..

[@jim7smith]

Excellently done! That jig is more precise than any I have seen.

[@sojace]

I always use a piece of 4" x 1" wood, cut out all THREE hinge shapes carefully with a jig saw, i use that for the door and frame, use small screws to hold it in place and router all 3 hinges - perfect every time and really quick ( keep the jig flush with the top of the door but then use a 2mm shim in the top of the door frame/lining)

[@BradshawJoinery]

YOu could do a similar method with your 4x1 but just glue the parts to it around the hinges.... much quicker and perfect cutouts.

[@alanjones3993]

Only a simple jig if you have all that equipment!!

[@territodude]

By far the best homemade jig video, thank you sir!

[@jorel5709]

I would leave the jig long enough ( I’ve standardised my butts at 150mm down, 225mm up) to set the top hinge from the head of the lining using a 3mm packer. Then the jig would be set flush with the top of the door.

[@BradshawJoinery]

Yeah, the joy of them is they are adaptable and easy to work with! Thanks

[@LTWCarpentry]

I swear by using hinges jigs now, I’ve even used my cnc to make up some “posh” ones, I’d been keen to do you challenge of chopping by hand verses using the router.

[@BradshawJoinery]

Nice one, They are the way to almost guarantee sucess!

[@paulbrava]

Simple idea but outside of your workshop most door frames have architraves are fitted so wouldn't work without making a different jig for every job. I do like it though great for the doors

[@BradshawJoinery]

It works with architrave, asking as there is a few mm of lining/frame showing just cut the jig down to register on that lip. I use it all the time👍

[@whomadethatsaltysoup]

Brilliant little jig. Much better than the one I've been using. I particularly like the rebate for fitting on a frame with the check already fitted. Thanks for sharing.

[@simonlunt353]

As a joiner myself I love jigs and made a few jigs myself but I do like your idea so I will be making your jig we use those Trend router bits if it’s a one off job we just use green router bit you can have them sharpened once but the piece of these bits l just put a new one in

[@jimbartley9125]

Made your previous hinge jig and used it to fit 11 new doors in old linings. Worked a treat. Thanks for all your information. Making things easier for me. Cheers Jim

[@BradshawJoinery]

Nice one Jim, So the comments telling me it would never work in real life, despite doing so myself all the time, are wrong!? haha Thanks for the feedback! :)

[@pauleohl]

@@BradshawJoinery You showed just one hinge installed. I say that your method is inadequate to get 3 (or even2) hinges installed on a door and jamb because you will not get the spacing of the mortises close enough. You need a jig that does all three mortises without repositioning and then use the same jig on the door slab and on the jamb. Also, it is not unusual for the hinges themselves to be not identical.

[@BradshawJoinery]

@@pauleohl i use thes jigs literally daily on 3 sometimes 4 hinge doors and never have a problem. Since it cuts exactly to the edge of the jig you just clamp the jig to your marks and it's perfect. Always make the jig .5mm bigger. Aslong as the housing is neat a slight oversize isn't noticeable... And yeah check more than one hinge if not all for size..

[@royordway9157]

if you look at the last hing jig video, i did a bit more detail on clamping the jig and the relief cut that helps with that

[@Quaker521]

Great idea fir a jig and simple to boot. I'd definitely give that a go if I have to hang a door in future. I'd be up for watching a shoot out between manual and router cutting. Cheers.

[@BradshawJoinery]

Cheers Mate, it'll probably be the next video, Its a big edit, and I want it to be a good one, but also been working 10+hour days 7 days a week so there were a few videos that were easier to do first

[@MrAlexmoore4]

Thanks for the vid Oliver. I had 4 doors to hang and made your hinge jig from the previous video which worked fantastically with nice tight results, thank you. The superglue assembly really surprised me too. Used the latch jig also which was a bit trickier as the hole needed for the latch body was only 1mm smaller than the latch plate. I’ll look forward to the hand vs router challenge !

The Best router bit for use with these Jigs - amzn.to/3pEpKYu

[@planespeaking]

I just made one of these, so thanks. 👍 I have seen some with a deeper clamping plate and a platform on the other side to support a router but I have a little Bosch 12v router and it works well for stuff like this. Already have the trend template bit. And some knock off Amazon ones too.

[@geoffhawkesford2077]

Nice video, but I would prefer clamps, so just make the jig longer so the clamps don't interfere with the router.

[@libertarian1637]

Bearing jigs can be very accurate and can take advantage of smaller diameter bits which can perfectly match smaller curves in hinges or can lead to less chiseling; the biggest issue is ensuring the base plate and bearing are centered with the collet otherwise they can be very inaccurate. I use both depending on the need but like anything else you’ll get out what you put in.

[@BradshawJoinery]

Cheers, ive used bearings alot in joinery manufacture and never used a ring fence until i made one. I like the adjustability! but its easy to get flat spots!

[@jonboy710]

How do you make the jig work with doors with the architrave in place around the frame. Cheers

[@BradshawJoinery]

Trim the front lip down so it's only a few mm and then it won't hit the architrave

[@johntalbert8227]

Thank you for the brilliant video. Will be doing some door work soon and this will make the job much easier.

[@johnsmyth6643]

great video and a simple great jig,in your opinion is the glue enough without any screws ?

[@BradshawJoinery]

Yeah absolutely. I'd only pus screws in if you are really heavy handed. I've not had one break up yet. Ever

[@kevinchamberlain7928]

Like it! Gone cordless (dewalt palm) because I simply refuse to pull the corded 1/4" out of the van because Meh! Will use this method although I can chisel locks and hinges rapidly, but if I've got say more than 3 doors = route.

[@helendabbs6622]

Aww man, this is genius. I have a practical exam in a couple of weeks & been racking my brains on how I'm going to make a home made Jig. Thanks so much

[@iancritcher5341]

Great vid, what about existing arcatrave ? This would need rebating also I take it

[@BradshawJoinery]

Yeah you can cut it down to sit on a 2/3mm lip if necessary

[@johnbanks8065]

I love the simplicity of this jig, it's brilliant. One variation I made for a pair of very wide gate hinges that I needed to rebate into a fence post (don't ask 😂🤣😂) was that I didn't cut a complete slot in the stop, I used a rabbeting router bit to create a recess in the stop to allow the profile router bit to reach the end of the post I was rebating whilst still retaining solid (2 sided) support for the router base across the whole width of the rebate. For a DIYer I feel it's much, much easier to get a decent finish when fitting hinges by using a jig and router rather than a chisel, and this has to be the easiest way of making a jig there can be, so many thanks 👍.

[@chrismcgee6161]

Awesome vid. Just getting into routering so this will come in very handy 👍👍

[@BradshawJoinery]

Thanks Chris. Its a great technique for making any router jig with them cutters.

[@peterfitzpatrick7032]

Chris, if you feel a bit nervous getting yer digits too close to the cutter whilst holding the jig, fire an 18g finish nail into each end of the jig and then trim them back to a millimetre or so exposed... then you can just push the jig against the frame and the nail tips will grab and hold the jig , you will probably not even need to put yer hand on the jig whilst routing and when the jig is not in use the tiny exposed brad ends wont be a hazard either... 😎👍☘️🍺

[@savingelectric]

Made your jig today to use on 7 hardwood doors, used to do the hybrid thing but realised you're not as quick as either chisel or router. Made the obvious mistake of glueing the final piece to the underside of the jig, just like you were about to and stopped. Made 3 in total as the second one was about 1 mil out and I could see too much leaf. However, after buggering about for about an hour, it finally clicked and I even clamp the jig to the door and leave it there while I chisel out the radius that was left. Thanks a lot, saved me going to RC for basically the same thing

[@fonstersnickare_johansson8375]

Very good video. You certainly knows what you are doing and have done it several times. Totally agree about your last statement that if you are doing more than 1-2 hinges it is faster and more accurate with a router, but sometimes it "feels" like it takes too long to set up the router so then I chop with a chisel 😅 I'm planning on buying a few cheap router that are set up and ready to go for only one operation each.

[@daftDAFdriver]

Can u show how to do it the old fashioned way before the router

[@boogie11188]

i have seen lots of these type of hinge jigs over the years, and they work very well, but can be time consuming as you still have to mark and space out your hinge positions. I worked as a 2nd fix carpenter for many years before i retired, and have hung 1000's of doors and nothing beats the trend one piece hinge jig, they only take i few minutes to set and once set can do many doors without re-setting, theres no measuring or marking involved and the jig works on rebated frames or if stops are fixed. the only time i would use your type of jig is if i'm fitting a door into an old frame that and want to match existing cutouts

[@jas-_-hug6851]

What happens when the architrave is round the door frame the jig will hit it

[@BradshawJoinery]

Just trim the front section down to suit the lip.... same can be done if there is a door stop, you can rebate the hinge jig over the door stopp

[@DaddyDaughterRC-sw2zb]

Yes definitely do a comparison of hand cutting in and making jig as a race is always great fun👍👍👍

[@Woojo01]

Excellent presentation and very thorough. I needed to mortise out a chest and lid for hinges and this is perfect.

[@tazsingh3560]

Hi this looks great and I'm going to make one this weekend. I just wondered whether there needs to be any change made to making one to accommodate a rebated door frame that already has architrave fitted? As presumably the depth won't be correct with the architrave stopping the jig from sitting flush? Thanks in advance

[@BradshawJoinery]

if you make the flat part and rebate it over the door stop before you glue the front lip/fence on itll then sit over the door stop. can also accomodate architrave if you cut the front fence down small enought to just catch the small lip of lining that is left.

[@tazsingh3560]

@@BradshawJoinery ah that's great, thank you! I saw the rebate part for the door stop but couldn't see how you'd accommodate architrave. Thanks again - I'll send over some 🍺 money!! 👍🏽

[@MrLee131]

I'm struggling to keep the router flat on the open edge, any pointers?

[@BradshawJoinery]

you could glue an nother flat piece on the front to help support, but mostly just a judgment thing how much pressure to put on the back of the router to stop it tilting

[@jasonStockhill]

I had a thought of making the length of it for the correct hinge space on the frame. Top and bottom. Boom.

yes absolutley, you may have to screw fix it and cut it to clear architrave and door stops but it works great

[@fireblaster9961]

[@BradshawJoinery]

Good idea!

[@timhowell1220]

Use a Vix bit to center the screws. Plus it works on lots of other things too.

[@ironian24]

In my experience the jig is far more accurate than chopping in by hand but in certain situations it is not possible to use the jig so going back to the chisel is needed, by using both you retain the skills. I always wonder if all went to the wall and we had no electricity would the modern day carpenter be able to cope 🤔. Retaining hand tool skills has to be paramount in my honest opinion, even if modern machines can do the job quicker in some case. Great video on how to male a jig your way, and may I say a lot simpler than I make mine however I still have mine so thx for the wisdom it is much appreciated 👍

[@BradshawJoinery]

Make sure you blow air through the nozzle (empty it ) then clean before putting lid back on. Seems to last then,

Definitely would have been quicker to chop in with a chisel. Could have had it all done before you'd made the jig, probably before you'd got the saws out of the van. It's a neat finish mind and if you had a load of doors to do then the router would catch up quite quickly after the first couple.

Hi Woody, have a look for chisel vs router video. :)

[@nareshchakowry7687]

Do we need to do same on the frame also?

[@BradshawJoinery]

Cut equal amounts into each part of possible yes

Hi from the USA. Love your video. This is simplest & easiest to make DIY hinge jig I've seen on KZbin. No fancy, and for me, unnecessary extras to add. All my doors are the same. I left one end long enough to measure down from the top of the jamb and other end long to measure from the bottom. Just added tabs to both ends to account for top & bottom clearances on the door itself. Works a treat. I didn't get the idea though until I watched the way you made your jig. I might make a video and place it on KZbin to show how I did with full credit to you for giving me the idea. You have a new subscriber. Thanks!

Thankyou very much! I genuinely dont think it can be bettered. mmaybe tweaks to add funtionality, but if you needed a quick jig to chop a plate or hinge in, its just so darn easy... Thanks for the sub

Great video. Have you done video for door handle with catch and a handle with mortice lock. Cheers Doug.

[@BradshawJoinery]

I havent, I made a video on the mortice plate jig somewhere
