Gonna post on this side of creek rather than that other side because it has to do with electrons and such. Should I, being a realtive newbie to this whole woodworking stuff, be able to mortice a hinge with a chisel? Seem to have a whole lot of trouble getting the bottoms flat. Now I know I can use my router and make the bottoms of the mortices flat then square up the corners with a chisel but it seem to me I should eventually be able to do it both ways.
Now that said, how does everybody else do it Pro or amateur. I'm sure practice makes perferct but in the issue of saving time, and not having the hinge rock to and fro, what's the best way to do this?
