Who’d have thought the moment of truth would be so nerveracking? I needed to cut some very fine\u00a0mortises\u00a0for the finer jewelry box hinges I’d chosen for the phone door sign. A dry fitting showed that the flap (which I’d constructed way back in 2009 as one of the things that I was able to easily do at the time) fitted snugly. Which meant that the hinges &\u00a0mortises\u00a0for them would have to be rather precise.<\/p>\n

I padded the clamp with some offcuts and sliced delicately away with a coping saw. A small excess needed removing so a small tap with the chisel and @#$%crunch@#$% up comes a sliver that I didn’t mean to do. A small dab of PVA and some masking tape later, the second\u00a0mortise\u00a0is cut and the door fitted in place. Probably a bit too snug- I’ll have to contemplate some fine sanding to remove the tightness.<\/p>\n
