Hi all,
I'm about to make a new workshop (tiny by most standards 8'x10') and will be having some cupboards in there with doors (it's such a step up from my
6'x8' brick shed with a worktop in it).I want to fit normal 35mm "European-style" cabinet hinges and can see how they work (and have a 35mm forstner bit which is good news). However, is there an easy way of knowing where to position the 35mm hole and the "bracket" (for want of a better word)?
I know Rockler does a jig for the bracket portion of it (but I'm in the UK and it's not worth the international postage).
Bear in mind that I'm also a fairly newbie woodworker. I can have a go at trial and error until it fits OK, but I'd like to know if anyone knows exactly where to position them.
So my questions are along the lines of:
1) How far from the edge should the 35mm hole be? 2) How far from the edge should the bracket holes be?I can obviously work out where to place them vertically, but it's those two positions I don't know. It may be obvious when I try (in about 3 weeks after shed^H^H^H^Hworkshop is delivered) but any pointers to the dimensions would be great.
Cheers,
Andy
