![Kreg Concealed Hinge Jig [video #357]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/0wQMkWb4DjU/mqdefault.jpg)
The way you did that calculation at 2:00 is just AWESOME!!! Im subscribing!!!
I have lost count of the number of videos on fitting concealed hinges, I wish I had found yours first. No nonsense no guff no jig, completely demystifies the process, thank you for sharing. Off to the shed now to finish my project which had stalled at the hinge fitting stage.
so true
the best and easiest no nonsense guide to doing this. Than you, much appreciated
I watch a total of over 10 videos of talking craps or recomanding people into buying measurements tools. yours this video just solve all my doubts of HOW EXACTLY THEY MEASURED internal of the cabinet, well done Sir. yours this video is probably by far the best and useful. good job sir. and trillion thanks.
Great job Sir, wishing well from Fiji islands 🇫🇯
Thanks for taking the time to post this video. I’ve been on TH-cam for a few days trying to find out how to measure up hinges for replacement doors I bought for my kitchen. Your video is the simplest, easiest way to do it. In actual fact your video is the only one. I wish you all the best!!
Good glad you think so, i like to keep my videos simple & to the point, hope it'll be helpful, thanks & keep well yourself 👍
So I've just built a media wall with cupboards and wanted to know how to fit concealed hinges.
.
I watched three 12-15min videos on how to do this, fancy jigs, makeshift jigs, fancy workshop etc and was still none the wiser... And then I found this video. No nonsense, straight to the point excellence.
.
Thank you my brother. Excellent video 🙏
Just like the Dambusters.
Hi good day thanks a million I'm not a woodworker but doing a kitchen cabinet for our home. Real DIY & was looking to do concealed hinges you make this so easy thanks. From BLON-D IN TRINIDAD
I have watched so many concealed hinges sites , but yours is the best, you talk your way through each section and especially the mounting plate. Everyone forgets the mounting plate so its just half the job. You explain and demonstrate each stage. Will definately watch more of your videos.
Hi, concealed hinges tend to get overlooked here because they are often pre-fitted, I'm fitting some, more in a short while, I'll show as much as poss 😉
or in videos people glaze over some of the steps of the process of building, I try to explain my thoughts & reasons for my decisions/actions as if someone was stood next to me trying to learn, showing as much detail as my phone camera will allow 🙃
Thanks Anne 👍😊
I found your video a lot more helpful than some of the other videos I’ve watched. You kept it simple, didn’t try to look cool in the camera but focused on the tutorial. Thanks.
Thanks Dizzy 👍
Yep, that's the idea, I'm just filming my work with as much info as i can share & little bull
The people who does not know English missed so much brilliant infos. Tnx a lot !!! And Greetings from Turkey 🤗
Thanks & you're welcome, I'm glad my vids are helpful 👍
I have watched a few other videos, they talk too much and dont give you the essential information like how far the 35mm hole must be. Thank you your video is great and explains everything perfectly for the DIY guy.
Hi David, Yep i like to keep my vids simple how I'd like others to be, mine are informative not 'entertaining', just step by step clips of how i do it, no long intro, no stood in front of the camera waffling about non related crap, no paid promotions n as little bull as poss 😉👍 Thanks 👍
The "old way" or "raw" on how to place some cabinet hinges, without fancy and costly or time-expensive jigs - Just YOU, a TAPEMEASURE (you spoke in milimeters *_* ), some helpfull sharp pencil - and of course, the hinge, screws and a driver....
the most quality video i've found on this after searching for days, better than the big subs and viewed channels!
Take my like and sub, sir!
I have fitted a lot of these hinges and always come back to this video before I start! Those straight freehand pencil lines still impress me every time is see it. I don't think my lines are that straight using a square :-)
🙋♂️ Hi, Good I'm glad it is helpful 👍 yep those lines, 36yrs as a joiner 😊🤷♂️ tip is lock your fingers so your hand is stiff 👍
Very good demonstration for beginners. Godbless you.
Bang on, no jig saves money. Good fella 👌
you are a quality person. your parents given to you a good quality education. i am from India
Thanks 👍
Me again have fitted all my kitchen cupboard hinges using your technique and looks and feels professional. My husband built the cupboard’s from scratch as we had run short on money. It has been a hard slog but well worth it. We now have to start watching how to cut worktops it cant be that hard lol.
👍👍 Good, Hand made units can sometimes be better than the shop bought things,
I'm not sure my video on worktop fitting is complete or clear but there's loads on YT, once you understand how the joint goes together it isn't that hard with a jig, (they can be hired if you don't have one ) the hardest bit i think is the nerves, you're cutting into a piece that costs lots of money n one mistake isn't repairable, best of luck with that, maybe practice on scrap board, it doesn't have to be the same thickness as the worktops.👍😊
& i like to buy a new ½" router cutter for each worktop job, I've found these cutters are quite good www.screwfix.com/p/erbauer-straight-router-cutter-12-7-x-50-8mm/26592
Let me know how it goes, Thanks
Best video a have seen very simple and easy to understand 👌
Good glad you liked it, hope it'll be helpful, thanks 👍
Best video I have seen on doing this, thank you!
Thanks Cal, glad it was helpful 👍 you're welcome 😊
Thank you for the in depth explanation!
Thankyou & you're welcome, I hope it was helpful 👍😉
this is educational. i already used around 2 of these hinges for cupboards with holesaw and it was lot of work filling up the other end with putty. i also didnt know you could adjust the hinge with the 2 screws. i will be getting a 35mm forstner bit sure.
i meant 20 hinges
Good 👍👍
Might be a two year old video but Certainly helped me. Brilliant!
Hope your making videos again soon. I think they’re great and very helpful 👍
Glad it helped, yep I'll be back on the rd & be back filming in a little while, Thanks for watching, much appreciated, 👍
Thanks mate got to change hinges on my kitchen units tomorrow great help
No problem 👍 hopefully it will just be a simple swap 👍
Great video!
Thankyou, much appreciated 👍😊
stright to the point.... and no bull ..like it
👍 Yep, That's how i like to do it 😉
Thanks,
Thanks for this video Gid its the best one I have come across on how to use these hinges but more importantly how to align the hinge with the backing plate when actually attaching the door to the cupboard you showed a similar thing when building the tv unit which was a great tutorial great stuff thanks
You're welcome, Thanks 👍 All these hinges & the jobs are a little different so a test piece with the adjustment settings to the middle & the 35mm hole 3mm-ish in from the edge is a good starting point 😉
Thanks I'll give it a go
Told me everything I needed to know, thanks.
Thankyou & you're very welcome, I'm glad it was helpful 👍
Well you sure made that look easy! Thanks for this video
Thanks Mona & you're most welcome, they are fairly simple, i normally use my router to drill the hole which is cleaner cut & even easier 😁👍
BRILLIANT video thanks helped me out a lot.
Thanks & you're welcome, I'm glad it was helpful 👍
What a brilliant video mate, you've made it so simple that even a numpty like me can understand :) I've been wanting to fit this type of hinge in my van conversion but too scared to attempt it. Now I'll be going back to the drawing board. Nice work fella
Thanks George 👍 Yeah they are fairly simple hinges, i think they're made out to be over complicated with all sorts of jigs available, I've a big bag of these intended for the shed that I've reclaimed from stuff I've ripped out over the yrs, 😉 hope they work you for you, If you need something to help keep the doors shut (in a van) these magnetic catches are strong n really worth the money, i buy mine locally for a similar price but they're the same www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01MXY608V/?coliid=I1S08Q6QDRCZ8C&colid=3UBWC9NW89BTU&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it
Thanks for the link mate, they will come in handy
The modern hinges are a marvel of mass production engineering.
Yep, these cabinet hinges have been around for quite a while now but they're getting better with the in built soft close, it's the Hettich soft-close/push to open drawer runners that I like, they're well made n have a lovely motion.
This information came in very handy for today’s project! Thanks for the tips, Gid!
No prob, glad to be of help, 👍 what's today’s project?
Wardrobes! ‘Senior management’ happy with the result, including the soft closing doors! Loads of brownie points in the bag!🤣🤣
🤸♂️💑👍🍺🍺🍺🍺
OK, gracias por sus vídeos, thanks for your videos
I think the front measurement is always 37mm
J.M.Castilla@2018
Hi, the hole is always 35mm but on this hinge the mounting plate goes on around 30mm but the ones on the wardrobe were fixed on about 35mm,
I hoped this video would give a basic start to fitting these hinges &
whoever is fitting them would have to work to the sizes of their purchased hinges.
OK thanks for the answer I use the 35mm hole but the base of the hinge always at 37mm front
Well I already have the machine holes and the template so thank you
Great video thanks for taking the time
Thankyou & you're welcome, i hope it is or will be helpful 👍
Very clear and useful... Unlike the blabbering in the other vids...
Thanks, yep some of the other's videos consist of a lot of the character stood in front of the camera talking about 'stuff' rather than showing you the work being done, that's not the way to teach, .
Thanks, this video was very insightful
Good, glad it was, you're welcome 👍
You're video is good and work is excellent
Thankyou sudadh 👍😉
Brilliant, thanks
Nice
Thanks 👍
Next life, I would marry a man like you, can fix everything at home
👍😉😀
Or maybe enroll in a course to enable you to do it yourself, much more satisfying
@@PatrickKelly-lz3pv that right😂😂😂😂
My mother used to sing “someday my prince will come” while she vacuumed and my dad sat on the toilet… or she’d sing “it’s so nice to have a man around the house” While trying to fix things. Totally sarcastic. As a homeowner single woman all I want in a man right now is it for him to be handy. It is priceless LOL
Nice work sir please keep it up
Thanks, I'm on a short break at the mo but i'll be back, so will do 👍
Special thing is... You let the hand do the talking... And with the way you drew those lines and screwed them perfect was the sign of great experience behind...
Thanks, glad you appreciate that, yep 36yrs as a Joiner, I'm trying to share what I have learnt, I like to keep my videos simple and to the point, very little bull, no long intro and the camera filming the work not my face 👍
This channel is underrated. You def should be having a bigger audience. This is some practical tips for folks with bad ha damn hands like me lol. I just subscribed and look forward for more. I found you through Nick Nimmin and ill be definitely looking forward for more content, keep it coming!
Thankyou, that's nice to hear/read. 😊
I watch Nick & have learnt a couple of things but I'm not on any other social media except Facebook to promote my channel & I've already recruited what subs i can from that,
I try to inc information that i think is relevant & educational, Quite a few channels are a bit 'glossy', people in big workshops using shiny tools,
I'm not the sort of person to stand in front of the camera n witter on, I don't have a 40sec intro, I like to try n keep it simple and convey the facts,
This is my work, it's what i do for a living, Lots of stuff in my head n I'll try to keep it coming,
Thanks.
Gid joiner as a fellow creator I know a good channel when I see one regardless of shiny distractions and your sir is top notch
Thankyou.
Yeah, just thought that. No rambling about overpriced gimmicks and advice based on 3 hours experience.
Your content is very well structured, very easy to understand and surprisingly well filmed and put together considering you only use your phone and work full time.
Every single video I've seen is super informative and full of great tips.
I mean it's all so well thought through I just know when I do it exactly like Gid says it's just gonna work!
Keep them coming!
Liked and subscribed
Hi & thanks, been a bit of a rubbish yr, so I haven't posted much but I'll be back with more vids in a little while 👍
Just found your channel, really helpful video, another subscriber.
Thankyou Bulwul, you're welcome 👍😉
Thx
No problem👍
thanks a lot
You're welcome 👍
Ok....sir....tthnks.....ji
Like the way, keep going
Thanks 👍
OK, I already knew how to use a forster bit. I wanna know , is there a trick to marking out where the hinge has go to go on the door, I dont have enough hands to hold the door up to the cupboard, hold the hinge up where it's meant to go and mark it
Nice
Thanks
Good
good
Thanks goob warkign
Thanks 👍
thank you
No problem 😉
Very informative thanks for sharing....
Thanks velliz 👍 you're welcome 😉
Good bro... I like it
Thanks 👍
bahut achcha h
Thanks
Thanks
Very helpful.
Is there a reason why the 35mm hole on the door should not be drilled 1/8" closer to the edge?
The template I have marks it so that the hinge is about 1/4" from the edge of the door.
Anyone?
Hi, 1/4" seems quite a lot but these hinges are all a fairy standard size, if your jig works fine then so be it but sometimes this distance depends a little on the thickness of the doors, I always do a test cut using scrap with the same dimensions of the wood from the project first & adjust it accordingly,
Thanks Frank 👍
@@Gidjoiner Thanks. Appreciate the quick response.
Thank you.
Subscribed.
Thankyou,👍
👍👌✌🙂
What make are the inset cabinet hinges you use?? Blum? Hettich?? Where do you buy them? Thanks, 👍
Hi, it depends on the job, i can get Hettich hinges from my board suppliers, good hinges but they can be a little expensive, Hafele from screwfix are reasonably cheap, good hinges & their shop is local, If i want something a little more elaborate like hinges for thick doors i use Ironmongery-direct, all these shops do inset or overlay www.ironmongerydirect.co.uk/product/blum-clip-top-profile-thick-door-cabinet-hinge-95-sprung-inset-pair-806058
www.screwfix.com/p/hafele-steel-soft-close-clip-on-concealed-hinges-64-2-pack/9205j#product_additional_details_container
I was high as hell and clicked because i thought it said markiplier
Why not use a jig to mark drilling position ( about £1) and the bit with the depth stop that is kept in the van ?
Yep why not 👍 I normally use my router but I made this vid to try show the basics of fitting these hinges with just a bit
@@Gidjoiner Thanks for the lesson.
👍👍👍💐
Thanks 👍
What did you used to make the holes for he nails??
I presume you mean screws,? In the drill i have one like these that i just googled www.amazon.co.uk/PIECE-HINGE-DRILL-BIT-SET/dp/B004OJ2JO8/ref=pd_sbs_60_3/262-4645553-6291154?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B004OJ2JO8&pd_rd_r=ad854b05-a8d2-4e4d-944f-4a60600c4178&pd_rd_w=CY9Kr&pd_rd_wg=ga3xt&pf_rd_p=2773aa8e-42c5-4dbe-bda8-5cdf226aa078&pf_rd_r=J0MEQCSTV2ZHFPYG51R7&psc=1&refRID=J0MEQCSTV2ZHFPYG51R7
Is that always 4mm?
I'd have to watch this vid again, Is what 4mm?
what was the last hinge you showed in this video?
I don't remember without watching it again but I'm sure i mentioned it was 165º one, the make/brand is irrelevant, they're all very similar.
I was looking for a Forstener bit referral but was lost in all the listings for everything in the universe. I moved on to another video. Sorry.
Oi gid were you gone? Ain't seen you in s while.
Hi, sorry just a small winter/Xmas break, i'll be back, I've wrote more in the comments on my last vid repairing the chair👍
Good info. But voice could be better and clearer.
Thanks, I'll get some elocution lessons & change my accent 👍
10:47 Overlay 😁
.
What is this hinges called? Overlay?
There's 3 different types, these are overlay, there's inset & you can get dual overlay type where two doors meet on a single carcass upright
@@Gidjoiner Thanks for your information. Haha, too hard for me to understand. I wish you can make another video for people like me who do not understand but want to learn.
@@leetomlee7265 Hi, this is a link to a Ironmongers catalogue, there is a diagram at the top showing , inset, overlay & dual application 👍 user-yyhrofg.cld.bz/IronmongeryDirect-Catalogue-127/369
Which size sir the bit is?
35mm for these standard size concealed hinges
@@Gidjoiner thank you sir
@@Gidjoiner appreciate your work sir
You're welcome
Video is constantly buffering,and yes my internet is fine.
Sorry can't help, just played it with no prob here, It must be the YT servers being slow, something affecting your internet feed or your machine is struggling with 1080p HD for some reason, most modern machines can handle that.
Can't hear you... Very frustrating! Please speak louder
Hi, it's fine on my PC & you're the first to mention it, i suspect it's your internet connection or you need to turn up the volume,
Tidy your Garage up, yikes!
🖕
Good video. You explained the process nicely. But could you at least take out time to cut your nails. Nothing personal though! Cheers
Great mate, it’s good to see a real Joiner doing it. Not one of these poofs with all the gear. Loving the Screwfix pencil😄😄
Thanks for sharing👍
Yeah they do over complicate things a little.
You're welcome 👍 Thanks, 👍
