The first step in successfully installing concealed cup hinges is to choose the right one! Nick shows three basic types of doors - inset, overlay, and partial overlay - and demonstrates how to fit them to cabinets, explaining how to select exactly the hinge you need based on how the door fits the cabinet. He then walks you step by step through a typical installation, choosing, marking, drilling, attaching, and adjusting traditional lipped doors on a framed cabinet.
1:40 Choosing the right hinges
6:55 Making a template to position the hinges or the doors and cabinet
9:27 Marking and drilling the doors and cabinet
13:21 Attaching the doors to the cabinet
14:28 Adjusting the concealed hinges after installation.
For more information on cabinetmaking, see Nick's book on MAKING BUILT-IN CABINETS. It covers planning, building, and installing all types of built-ins. Nick provides standard dimensions for different types of cabinets, explains how to choose plywood and sheet materials, and discusses special considerations in designing a kitchen. He walks you through the construction of the cases, doors, and drawers, then show how to position and attach your finished units The book is available in PDF format from the Workshop Companion General store at workshopcompanionstore.com/pr... .

There's a certain level of knowledge that usually only comes with experience and time spent in woodworking. These are all things that aren't taught in woodworking classes any longer, the tricks of the trade so to speak. I have been looking for a channel that conveys this kind of teaching for a long time now, only just discovered Workshop Companion and boy am I glad that I have. Unbeatable! The young kids on the block are all fine and good with their fancy dominos and cnc's, I enjoy that too, but nothing beats an old boy's knowledge and expertise!

I work with these hinges every day, so I know all the measurements off the top of my head. They're super easy. We even have the cup hinges for the doors that don't need any screws. It's called blum clip-top inserta. Just drill a 35mm hole for the cup, and two 8mm holes for where the screws would go and it clicks right in place.

Thank you for another wonderful video About a year ago, I bought 12ish pairs of concealed hinges (1 product code QTY:12) for a kitchen and somehow got 3 diffrent types of hinge! It would be nice if the stockist put as much thought into their products as you just did :)

@WorkshopCompanion Жыл бұрын

Concealed hinges are a constant source of frustration because you can't tell what they're for simply by looking at them. There are six pivot points! Who can look at that and mentally imagine where the door is going to end up when it's open or closed? Consequently, it's extremely easy to put them in the wrong stock bin. Or grab them out of the wrong stock bin. Or put them in the wrong package altogether. I have gotten into the habit of comparing the hinges to the their photo in the catalogue when they arrive.
