    Thank you for sharing. As I watched your video, I was reminded of my dad who was a joiner and a great craftsman back many years ago. (Pre - routers and battery power tools) Your skill and attention to detail brought me back to when I was a 12 year old kid (55 years ago) while helping my dad in his workshop. I followed a different career in engineering but, I still love to work with wood as a hobby. Thanks for the memories and you, sir are a master craftsman.

    Fantastic vid, no annoying music, no annoying fast forward - OK, some clips do this because we all know what a process looks like, but sometimes, when you say "made in minutes", it's good to see this in real time.
    It's a real shame that the industry is still playing catchup with regards to the hinge itself, I've been using the router method for a number of years now & made myself a jig similar to this when I had a number of new doors to hang. Fortunately, I managed to source a load of hinges with rounded ends. Unfortunately, they were more than double the price (for essentially the same thing!). I didn't mind this as they were for myself and it meant that I spent far less time on each hinge (14 doors, 3 hinges on each!) as I wasn't having to clean out corners with a sharp chisel.
    I notice nowadays that they tend to work out maybe a pound or so dearer, so more cost effective considering the time saved.

    • @BradshawJoinery
      @BradshawJoinery  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Cheers for that! Yeah the rounded hinges can be handy! My only gripe is that any minor adjustments to them (setting the door a mm or two deeper into the stop) requires resetting up the jig over a hand tool adjustment, which i why i like the traditional square hinges! Fair enough if your fitting new into decent frames! The other thing i like about square is they lok traditional which alot of my work seems to require!

    • @BradshawJoinery
      @BradshawJoinery  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Cheers Kristian, Latch easy, rip three 6" strips of 15/18mm board down to the thickness of the latch plate (or plus 0.5mm if i were you) then cut one of them in half across the length (2x3") Mark the height of the latch in the centre of the 2 longer pieces then use superglue (mitrefix) on a flat surface to glue the two smaller block to one longer piece so it leaves a gap the latch height, then glue the other block on. (protect your flat surface with cellophane etc..) then all you need to do is mark the offset from door edge one side, drill and screw a fence piece on at 90 degrees along that line. Put a couple of pilot hole drilled srews through the entire thing at the ends to help the glue hold and you have a jig. Ill do a video next week.

    I'm used to larger, corded routers th-cam.com/users/postUgkxfQ5_mgwq6PcudJvAH25t-I4D-3cTPz4z so this was a different experience for me. Basically, this is an incredibly sweet machine, fits well in the hand, etc. It has slightly less power than I'm used to, but that's understandable. Maneuvering freehand takes some practice. These days, it's especially nice to be able to avoid power cords. This is above the level of a hobbyist but below a pro level.

    For more than one or two hinges I usually make a jig, but mine have tended to be for when using the router with the centre collar in place. NOT as in your case with a bearing router bit.
    I shall use your method in future because it's more versatile with regards stops/architraves etc.
    One tip that I learned today - from you, and I will use next time, is to leave the jig in place when trimming the radius. Makes a lot of sense, thanks for that, but why did you remove the jig when trimming the radius at the rear?
    New to your channel when I came across the courtyard door repair, and have subscribed.

      Thanks Mark, Without watching the video I'm not sure why I removed the back out the jig, I often set joinery in a couple of mm from the frame so then have to gauge the back line and remove with a chisel so no point doing the back corner in the jig bit not sure if it did that in this video!
      The top bearing small bits are bloomin handy!

    • @BradshawJoinery

      Ahh nice on. Little tip if you cut a notch too big, use some iron on edging tape to tighten it up. adds about 3/4mm if you get the real thin paper stuff
      You can router the pulleys in with two diffferent jigs, one to cut face located from face and top of pulley stile, then same locations but smaller jig to cut the through hole. youll want a drill hole to start the through hole cut, and a fairly hefty cutter if they are thick. a multitool can be just as quick to do the through hole, depending on how finessed you are feeling.

      Perfect, there’s another English you tube guy, Jim Sears I think? Pretty cool dude! I pinched his idea of using parting bead grove to index jig, then had my mate do the face plate plus offset 100 mm down one side and the body on a mirror image on other, so you skim round i with the little makita at faceplate depth , flip it round hit body right through, self centering drill bit, and he jobs a good un’
      So that’s obviously two faceplates and two body holes either side of parting bead groove.

    • @BradshawJoinery

      I do not have a video covering this I will try to at some point. The best way to approach it is to cut the existing hinge housing larger using a very sharp chisel then cut in a piece of wood to suit. The piece of wood can be bigger and wider then planed down/sanded flush. Cut your new hinge in after..

    Use a centering bit on a hinge clamped in place.

    Three scrap blocks , also with painters tape.
    CA glue and accelerant, glue the tape faces together.
    The scraps get glued against the hinge edges.
    Remove the hinge.
    Use your top bearing mortising bit, the glued on bits guide the cut.
    Increase depth of cut until it’s cut through, slap the scrap blocks to break the CA glue, peel tape, done.

      Initially hold the hinge against the jig and set bit to hing heaf or appropriate measurement. Then router 2 test pieces and check. Once it's correct make a cut in the jig at the right depth and that is your setting from then on

    @theofarmmanager267 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Getting that back line nice and straight can be an issue. How I get over this is by making the jig out of three pieces all cut on a table saw or by hand or band saw. The central piece is cut the length of the hinge (say 75mm). The two side pieces are the same as each other and roughly shorter than the centre piece by the width of the hinge leaf (say 30mm). Then I assemble the three pieces around the hinge in question using CA glue. You end up with something very much like the jig shown here, and a very accurate mortise without using that riskier final cut with the table saw. It’s very quick and I obviously keep the jigs for the next time.

  • @ottofumbler7267
    @ottofumbler7267 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm guessing this tutorial is aimed at someone with all your tooling, such as table saw, etc. For a DIYer, it's cheaper to buy an off-the-shelf universal hinge jig.
    As this is a jig for use with a router, would you be able to create a jig using the router? That would be a great tutorial, as the additional cost would be 1x piece of thick MDF.

    • @BradshawJoinery
      @BradshawJoinery  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah, there aren't many jigs that can be made and work with just a chisel..
      Aimed at hobby woodworkers up to professionals. This method of jig making for any shape housing is an incredible tip. Cheap bottle router and a £10.cutter and you've got a seriously good thing

    • @ottofumbler7267
      @ottofumbler7267 ปีที่แล้ว

      Sorry, I've not explained this. You're making a jig to use with a router, so we're assuming the DIYer has a router. Therefore, not looking to create a jig to use with hand tools.
      What I'm getting at is, can a jig be made without using a table saw (which most DIYers won't have due to storage & work space, or lack of)?
      I've thought about this further since my original post, and figured out it is possible.
      The first piece could be made from 1x long piece of MDF, and 2x side blocks, fixed together using screws, leaving a gap the size of the hinge. Should be fairly easy and precise using a tenon saw & block, or mitre saw. The rest of the jig construction would be as per your tutorial.
      I'm going to give this a bash, and I'll see if it works.

    • @ottofumbler7267
      @ottofumbler7267 ปีที่แล้ว

      I've literally just noticed your other hinge jig video from a year ago, where you had the same idea to join 3x cut pieces together. At least now I know "my idea" will work. 😂 Damn you TH-cam algorithms!!! Why didn't I see both vids in the same search?
      Only, you're using a table saw again in that video. Quick price check... £450 to £850 (depending on the model). I think a tenon saw & block, and a little bit of sanding could replicate the desired result at a fraction of the price.
      Don't know if I'm making my point correctly, but it would be most helpful if we novices were informed using the best result from least expenditure method.
      I have 14 oak doors and trim to do. I don't want to ruin expensive oak. At the same time, I only have faith in my own abilities now to tackle the job. That's a long story I'll not expand on here.

    This works for a hinge jig on your door jamb as well. Just make sure it’s a half inch thick so you can clear the jamb stop and and not wobble (jamb stop is half inch high) and only use the top portion of this jig here and make sure to rip it to the correct backset (distance from edge). And this way, with those two jigs you can full on hang a fresh slab on any door jamb, provided it’s a combo jamb should you be using an exterior slab of 1 3/4” thickness.

    • @BradshawJoinery
