John Daugherty Member Messages 1,939 Location Oliver Springs, TN Dec 26, 2016 #24 Man! I hate installing mortise hinges! I don't install enough to be competent much less good! Next time I'm going with the router and a jig! Got the first coat of finish on. I'll start on the tray tomorrow maybe. Lucas is getting his wisdom teeth taken out in the morning.
