Pretty much how I do it. I use the razor to score a checkered pattern and break off the wood in chips. Helps to keep the chisel from following the wood grain too deep. Then flip the chisel over and drag it backwards to smooth it out.

Great video, just did this for the first time a couple of months ago. One thing I would mention for newbies is the proper way to use the chisel. You want the bevel pointed inside of your score.

Self centering drill bits are great for hinge work
@disklamer Жыл бұрын
As an alternative, grab a larger drillbit, just twist it once with a bit of pressure and it leaves a nice divot in the exact center.

You can just trace the hinges with pencil instead of drilling screws to hold it while you’re tracing with your knife. By screwing it down your holes will not be too tight to hold the final screws.

I also do this work in a similar way. The one thing I do extra is score the back side of the area (face of door) to the depth of the hinge using the knife and a ruler. That gives me a line to work with to keep the depth of the whole area even and also prevents the wood from splitting (when doing a real wood door).
@michaelwarren23912 жыл бұрын
Excellent idea. Thanks
@juzoli2 жыл бұрын
Instead of measuring the 1/4 inch at the center of the parallel line, and eyeballing it, you can measure it at the 2 ends, and draw the whole parallel line accurately. It makes the alignment of the hinge much easier as you have a much longer line to fit.

Ignore those snarky or troll commenters on your videos. We can't all be perfect like them...🙄 As a bit of a do-it-yourselfer, I watch your videos and learn something new every time, even if it's not a project I'm currently working on, knowing that I'll have a reference should such a project ever come my way. Watching your videos I've done mudding and drywall repairs among other things on a couple of houses I never would have attempted prior to your videos. Keep up the great content, and I hope you and your family have a great holiday season!

I like always liked using a Dremel with the small flat base gauge, just raise it the height of the hinge and free hand. The only downside is their battery tools suck and I’ve moved passed plug ins some years back. Now it’s a trim router and jig. Although a chisel will work in a pinch. A centering drill is a should use as it doesn’t allow the hinges to move if you drill out of center as you drive the screws in.

I also use my Dremel, but my freehand skills leave much to be desired. And I totally agree with you about using Vix bits.

Great method. I'm lazy so I use a spade bit to cut these rounded corners. Marking the center of the radius properly and having a steady hand is recommended. It takes a bit of practice and precision, but once you get the hang of it the results can be very crisp.

No it's not easy... I once owned a home where the previous owner had replaced every door in the house (amoung a host of other things) all by herself. She even bragged about it. Unfortunately she wasn't a carpenter of any kind and it showed. I bought the house for significantly less money than she was asking and then spent the next six months redoing all her work. Fortunately I am a finish carpenter so my DIY project was also my profession. Sometimes it's worth calling a pro.

@@chrisburns5691 Ya. for some reason my brain is better at dropping a 1 from the tens column rather than a 1 from the ones column as when burning an inch. I guess it is easier to recognize something that is ten inches too long rather than an inch too long or short. The other measuring trick I like when laying out biscuits is the numbers 2 and 7. 2" is a good number from the end of a board and 5" apart works for most purposes. Then the number is always 2 or 7 in the ones column. eg. 2&7, 12&17, 22&27 etc.:)
