Hello all, I always find great help here so wanted to see if anyone had any ideas on a new project.
We are doing a bunch of wood veneer window sills and other items for a restaurant.
They asked us to laminate a few new 1 3/4" slab doors with plastic laminate, face and edges.
The laminating part is easy I do that all the time with spray contact cement from the laminate supplier. I was wondering if I should route the butt hinge mortises (slab isn't mortised yet) after laminating the side of the door like normal with a router and a jig?
Or should I route the hinges in the slab and then notch out the hinge mortises with a multitool from the laminate edge piece before laminating it onto the slab.
Thanks for any input!
