What I do to mortise hinges is I'll screw them down and scribe around the leaf. Then I take the hinge off and I throw the part on my mill and pocket it out with an end mill. I clean up the round corners with a hand chisel for that handmade aspect of it all. I'm a rabid traditionalist. 🤣
@@faceedgewoodworking power tools benefit from hand tools. I benefit from power tools too. I struggle with getting consistent results by hand. So machines help me out a lot there. The whole constrained motion thing is a plus for me. Because I'm anything but constrained in my work. I'm more the bounce all over the place type. Which can be good and bad. It's bad for getting flat mortises, I can tell you that.
Nice work. Did you use spacers on both jaws of your saw vice? I wondered about how big a gap you left between the jaws/legs for the saw back since I get the feeling it is something I can make to save my back.
Hi Eddie, thanks for the comment. With a bit of luck I can cover that for you by the weekend. I hope to be sharpening my first saw on it before the end of the week.
Nice job, still teach students the exact same way.
Thanks Gary. It was a spur of the moment video to show you don't need a lot of gear 👌

At work we use a router and shop made jig, when you're doing a lot it makes sense to do so. Even the power tools need help from a chisel 😂
