Hand-software Butt Hinge Installation - Popular Woodworking Magazine








Under is a sidebar from my “Drugs Cabinet” article, from the June 2016 challenge of Popular Woodworking Magazine – learn how to set up butt hinges utilizing hand instruments (and there are, in fact, different methods…however that is how I do it).


— Megan Fitzpatrick


1. Find. Hinges are sometimes put in in such a construct with the leaves registering off the door rails. So I exploit a mixture sq. to line issues up. I all the time begin with the door, not the case.


2. Mark. Maintain the hinge firmly in place together with your off hand, and use a marking knife to attain across the edges. A collection of sunshine cuts might be simpler than one deep cut. Now set a slicing gauge to the precise thickness of the leaf and mark the mortise depth. (I’ve penciled within the strains right here for ease of viewing.)


three. Chop. Make a collection of cuts within the waste with a chisel, and use the device to deepen the sides you marked together with your knife (bevel dealing with into the waste, in fact).


four. Clear. Drop the router aircraft blade within the baseline then tighten it. A number of passes with the aircraft will raise out the waste and clean the underside of the mortise. (It"s also possible to set the router aircraft to the thickness of the hinge leaf, and use the aircraft to mark the underside of the mortise, as an alternative of a chopping gauge.)


5. Screw holes. Drop the hinge in its mortise and mark the screw-gap places, then drill. Watch out to not drill by way of the stile.


6. Screws. Screw the hinges in place; somewhat wax on the threads will make it simpler. (I sometimes set up solely the highest and backside screws right now; it saves time when eradicating the hardware earlier than making use of a end.)


7. Mark the carcase. Now match the door to its opening, with the specified reveal shimmed on the prime and backside. Maintain the door firmly in place. Register the flat of the marking knife off the barrel of the hinge and make a nick. Do the identical for the opposite hinge(s). I all the time mark the underside of the leaf. It’s a behavior that retains me from chopping the mortise on the improper aspect of my mark (that’s extra of a worry for me when there’s additionally a center hinge).


eight. Slender materials. The method for the hinge mortises on the edges is identical as for the door – besides that, if you wish to retain the small quantity of wood behind the hinge mortise, clamp a bit behind it for help as you’re chopping. In the event you don’t, it"s going to definitely tear out. There"s, nevertheless, no disgrace in merely chopping the mortise throughout the complete thickness of the aspect.

Assembly of an Oneida Dust Gorilla Pro Cyclone Dust Collector

What Happened To ClearVue? Before we get into the assembly of an Oneida Dust Gorilla Pro cyclone dust collector, let’s address the elephant in the room: what happened to the ClearVue? Just like my table saw, I took the move to Colorado as an opportunity to try something new. One less tool to move and work around as I get the new shop together and one more chance to gain perspective on a different brand. In addition, Oneida offers stands for their cyclones and that’s a feature I wanted in the new shop. So after a few pleasant phone calls with the folks at Oneida, we are now working with them directly on the dust collection solution for the new TWW shop. And just to clear the air, I have nothing negative to say about Clear Vue. Their cyclone served me well for over a decade and I am lucky to have gotten to know the kind folks that run the company. But now I also feel lucky to know some of the great people behind Oneida! Enter Oneida! My sales...

214 - Power-Sculpted Contemplation Bench

Video - February 18, 2014 History Back in the early days of my woodworking, I was heavily influenced by a show called Woodworks. The host, David Marks, would frequently engage in a process that was very new to me at the time: power-sculpting (aka power carving). I was so excited by this process that I drove all the way up to Santa Rosa to learn the technique from the man himself. So what you see in this video is largely inspired by the work of David Marks. If you’re interested in seeing some of the old Woodworks episodes, you can do so here. Once I returned home from Santa Rosa, I set out to create a simple sitting bench that would incorporate this carving technique. While the bench was only meant as a prototype, I went on to teach a class on the topic and my buddy Tom Iovino was able to write an article about the project for Woodcraft Magazine. Several years later, I wrote an article for Popular Woodworking Magaz...
