Building some Cherry nightstands for my wife and I based on a Stickley Ellis design we both like. I am having the doors and drawers recess below the front face of the nightstands by about 1/8 inch. I have both doors built and am about to begin installing thehinges on the doors. When mounting the hinges to the side cabinet sides what changes if any need to be made compared to flush mount inset doors. Do I need to let the hinge knuckle into the cabinet side to allow for the knuckle and ball tip. or does the hing mortise angle to allow the knuckle and ball tips to sit on top o the cabinet side but he single plate to be mortised in ?
Hoping someone has hung doors like this and can comment.
Thanks
below is a picture of a door hung in a similar fashion to what I want to do. notice there door sits lower than the face of the cabinet. Also notice the hinge knuckle does not seem to be let into the cabinet side..
