To
make the jig, first obtain a piece of hardwood lumber (preferably Maple or
Birch) approximately four inches wide and four feet long. |

Joint
and dimension the remaining board, from which pieces C and D will be cut to
a width equal to the width of your hinge leaf plus the difference between
the diameter of your router bit and the outside diameter of your guide
bushing. E.g. (5/8" - 1/2" = 1/8") |
||
Cut
one piece (C) about 3-1/2" long from the remaining board. |
