Use your router and an edge guide to mortise the hinges on the door stiles. I set my hinges 3" from the stile ends.

Swaging hinges will allow a better door fit. Place the hinge on a solid surface, cover the leaves with a piece of steel up to the hinge barrel, then give it a good whack with a hammer.

Make and Install the Doors

Turn to the center spread of this issue for a special pull-out poster containing complete details for building the doors.

Mortise the butt hinges on the stiles to the thickness of one hinge leaf. I used a router with a 1/4"-diameter bit. Use a chisel to square up the mortise corners. To swage the hinges, see the photo at right.

Screw the hinges on the doors after drilling pilot holes. Use paraffin on the screw threads and a screwdriver if you're using brass screws, which are quite soft.

Position the doors in the opening and use shims to set the door up from the bottom. Carefully pencil the hinge locations, then mark and drill the pilot holes for the hinges and install.

To complete the project, drill install door catches, and the door

holes for the adjustable shelves. I spaced mine 11/2" in from the front and back, then from the bottom, up 81/2", 10", 111/2", 17", 181/2" and 20". Before finishing,

and drawer pulls.

For finish, your cabinet deserves a little protection so give it a clear coat of your favorite finish material. PW
