Door Hanging - Which tools?
Discussion
Almost 3 months on and the doors are still standing in the hall.
I got slightly distracted with a Strange Rover.
Anyway, while waiting for parts to turn up I started to make a jig for the hinges and play with the router.
It took me a couple of attempts to make the jig satisfactorily and its nit that pretty but it works. Well, on scrap wood it does anyway. I haven't had chance or brave enough to try it on a real door yet.
I'll need to make a jig for the handle fitting too so that'll be next.
Wonder if I can get the doors fitted by Christmas?

I had 2x door stood in the room before I fitted them, one of the warped about 7mm on one corner, I’d lay them down if I were you…I got slightly distracted with a Strange Rover.

Thanks, they were stood fully vertical but have checked them all and all seem square.I made a jig today for the hinges and to route out the recess for the catch.
I might even get some fitted this week

Had a trip to Axminster tools today to buy a new blade for my (very) old Black & Decker circular saw:
Think I may have got a bit carried away (but only a bit).
The clamping guides are well made and good value and the cheapie router bit I was using was going blunt and one of the tips snapped off so I bought a better one.
