Installing the hinges
I did a step by step of the hinge installation for anyone whose interested .. and .. so I don’t forget how I did it. I used card scrapers on all for sides to create the proper spacing. The card scraper just happens to be the same thickness as the hinge washer.
Bedside table – Hinges in and case glued up
In order to get the hinges in, I super glued the hinge in place using a card scraper for spacing from the side of the case. Once I had the hinge outlined and marked using my marking knife, I knocked the hinge off the wood. Then I used my router, chisels and finally the router plane to remove the wastes. I used this same process to install the knife hinges in the wall cabinet with good result.
