Materials and accessories
| Qty | Part |
|---|---|
| 1 | Wood glue (water-resistant D3) |
Also: sandpaper (grit 120 and 240), a utility knife or fine saw and, for joints, a rubber mallet.
Carving and finishing
- Clamp the workpiece flat on the spoilboard or secure it with double-sided tape, and set the origin as shown in the carving assistant.
- Mill the mortises, guide hole and pilot holes, engrave the centre line, then cut out plate and fence.
- Free the parts at the holding tabs with a utility knife or fine saw and sand the tab remains flush.
- Before gluing, dry-fit everything. If a joint is too tight, increase the clearance by 0.05 mm and carve the part again; if it wobbles, reduce it.
Assembly and final touches
- Glue the fence with its tenons into the plate from below; it must sit exactly square. Sand the tenons flush on top.
- Put the jig with its fence against the door edge, the engraved centre line on the mark for the hinge centre (usually 100 mm from top and bottom). Drill 12 to 13 mm deep with the 35 mm Forstner bit and a depth stop, then prick the screw holes.
