ShatsBassoon @ShatsBassoon when you are hanging a door do you use a jig? Router, chisel or both?
Here you go...
Had a request for a 4.5" hinge set back 1.5" on the jamb so I had to make a jig. Here's my process:

Determine the distance from the outer edge of the router base to your cutting edge, cut out the appropriate amount on your jig. Place a strip of material the same thickness as your finish stock as a stop to determine your back route, and this also becomes the marker for where to screw the jig down:


Route it out...


Square off the corners and you're done.

Only tool you've ever used is a pencil sharpener. Shut up.
