First time mortising for a knife hinge. I’ll take it. These things are tricky to align. One down, only 23 more to go! 😀😳 . . . . . . #woodworking #wood #walnut #hinge #knifehinge #pivothinge #brass #brusso #chisel #cabinet #door #craftsmanship #handmade #madebyme #madeinaustin #austin #finefurniture #finewoodworking #furniture #furnituredesign #furnituremaking #furnituremaker #customfurniture #design #cabinetmaker (at Austin, Texas)

I make a lot of mitered doors for my projects and have always used my Incra sled which can be a little fiddley to dial in to 45. Made this jig instead for this project and am super happy with the results. Even if it’s off a bit, the angles will always complement each other. Because math. . . . . . . . #woodworking #wood #miter #joinery #joint #tightjoint #math #walnut #cabinet #door #craftsmanship #handmade #madebyme #madeinaustin #austin #jig #miterjig #finefurniture #finewoodworking #furniture #furnituredesign #furnituremaking #furnituremaker #customfurniture #design (at Austin, Texas)

My most liked photos of 2017. Not as prolific a year in the shop as I would have liked; had a day job, too ;). But, very pleased with the things I made. Cabinets, spoons & chaos! #woodworking #woodworker #woodshop #wooden #handmade #woodwork #bestigwoodworking #woodcraft #artisan #madebyme #craftsmanship (at Austin, Texas)
