Blum makes a jig if your using there hardware otherwise Craig makes one as well,

Thanks Sandy,
Recently, I had a small accident. I sheared off the left middle knuckle of my right hand. I had hand surgery and now I’m doing ok. THe only loss is my music; i used to play the classical guitar…..and now that is not possible.

Paul, what I was asking is basicallly what type hinge are you using ? 32 mm indicates the cup size of the most commonly used euro. concealed type hinge. Many types of hinges out there. Hard to recomend a jig without more inf. If you are using euro hinges and do not have a boring machine, a drill press would be best. Can you offer a bit more description ?

Are you using these:

If so message me. I just finished a job with them. No jig needed. Piece of cake.

Paul, I have a 35mm Hinge Installation Marking Jig & Bit that you are welcome to borrow if it fits the bill. I can’t recall if you are using european cup-style hinges. If so, this will work for a 35mm cup. Again, from the sample I saw, the cabinets look great!

Paul, Did you look at “Sommerfeld’s Hinge Boring Jig”. I bought one based on pricing and my amount of usage. Have only used it on one project so far, and I’m not an accomplished reviewer, but it worked for me.
Perhaps someone else had used one and would be a better judge. I have a mortiser but not a drill press. Anyway, I hope your doors are coming along as nice as the corner cabinet pic you posted. bill
