The bevel needed on the latch edge of a door is dependent upon the width and thickness of the door, and the pivot location of the hinge. With a knife hinge, there is minimal if any need for a bevel....
You may be thinking of the "Planofit" system from Hafele:

Try McMaster-Carr
(Lengths up to 8 feet, leaf thickness up to .09 in., screw sizes up to #10)
I'd consider a stainless steel piano hinge-- knuckle protrusion would be minimal to none.
Yes. You might consider standing the door up, maybe leaning against a wall so the weight of the glass bears onto the bottom rail of the door. Setting blocks are helpful for positioning the glass and...
You don't need points if you're using a stop. 230 will work, but I would clean it up before it sets. You should have enough time for this if you're not out in 90 degree weather.
Since you're using quarter-round, you only need to bed the glass, not "glaze" in the traditional sense. You won't push it all out-- you'll only fill gaps. Any sealant will do it. Some people like...
Doable?--Yes. I've done this before. I don't know why anyone would build a glass panel door this way, but some do.
Very careful routing, stopping just shy of full depth, then cutting the last...
Exactly! Hope all goes well.
Tough situation. I think I would abandon the T&G joint on the nosing piece and rip off the bottom of the groove so the nosing can be installed "from the top down" without having to slide back to...
Or.. you can install a Kant Slam gate closer. Available here and elsewhere. Tried and true reliable (and no slamming)

... or an added counterweight (tie on a sandbag or hunk of metal)
+1. If you push the feeder outboard farther does the weight over-power the strut?
If I understand you, you're using 5/8" cabinet sides and 1/4" overlay hinges (which hinge and which mounting plate? There is a whole range of overlay possibilities with different combinations of...
I have a small compressor that used to trip breakers on start-up. I changed the oil to 10w/30 motor oil and the problem stopped. 30 years ago, and it's still going strong. YMMV
My thoughts, exactly. Wouldn't be too hard to patch in a Dutchman and shape to match the edge profile.
I've used a couple of different drum sanders-- one with the "smartsand" feature and one without. If you're careful, you can operate without the smartsand, but I do find it helpful.
These machines...
Several ways to skin this cat.
Solid lumber can be glued-up to width.
Some home centers sell already-glued-up planks for shelving in 16" widths
Plywood would work. I would edge-band with some...
Tom-- I used to have that machine, and ran a lot of molding on it, but never installed the sanding head, even though I had one (I used a separate drum sander). I would expect, though, that the...
Whatever species you decide on, you might consider dipping the ends of the parts into some penetrating epoxy before painting.
The wood splits at the ends because the end-grain absorbs and...
I don't know what lift would fit your router, but I know that the Woodpecker's PRL-V2 is one of the best lifts.
Woodpecker's is a USA manufacturer. You can call them and ask if they can...
Here's a link to them at the Woodpeckers site: Side Kicks
I don't know what it's called, but I think the purpose is to keep the ends of boards aligned during an edge-to-edge glue-up
I think you'll get good results with either bit. The larger diameter should give a slightly smoother cut; the smaller diameter will fit into tighter spaces.
To be safe, you should probably get...
