I fully accept that my methods are unorthodox but I make a door/panel etc from components cut to exact sizes and assemble square & true so all it should need is a minor fettle to fit the opening. If the opening is not a rectangle I make a template and use that to dimension from.
I'm curious to understand.
Thanks

I can appreciate the protection that the horns offer if you are making a batch of doors keeping the stile end from damage until ready to fit. Also ready made doors get protection from maker to merchant.
However the moment you come to fit a door, the horns have to at least come off the bottom so it can be offered up, marked and attacked with a plane.

I was surprised to see you only morticed the hinges into the door, and not the case.
I was told the mortice adds support to the hinge, and make the over all thing stronger ?
I guess you know from experience when this is needed or not ?

Cheers Rich, yes, the leaf of a butt hinge will add some resistance to gravity and I wouldn't do this with a normal sized heavy door. This cabinet door is lightweight and letting the hinges like this used to be common practise.

Maybe you ought to think about doing this for a living ??
did you swap the bright posidrive screws for slotted brass ?? :-P
