I usually use a chisel to mortise in my hinges but the desk I'm making need these sewing machine hinges. http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?page=1151&tagem=rv
I bought 2 sets because I'm using 3 hinges on the drop front.
I have no clue as to how to mortise them in. I certainly can't do them with a chisel
I was thinking of using my router but I have no clue how to make the template. Maybe I should go to a machine shop and have them make one out of a heavy sheet of plastic Do I make them the same size as the hinge and use a mortise bit with a bearing do I use a bushing and make the template larger by the thickness of the bushing
I sure wish I ordered Carol's book.
Any help will be really appreciated.
