The Tools Thread

Just an idea.. Most of us seem to enjoy using our tools and probably have a few tips that'd go hand-in-hand with showing them. So, a tools thread?

This is new today. Bought it to help me put hinges on all the doors I've got to replace. Not a hope of doing it with a chisel. Actually went in to buy the router attachment for my Dremel but this entire kit was only about $20 more.

Yeah fair enough. And great thread :D

For hinges though, I have a shit load of tools available, I'll fall back on the humble chisel. It needs to be sharp! Draw round it, bish bash bosh.

Make plenty of down cuts, every 4 or 5 mm. Then scoop it all out.

I'm big on using powertools, but for hinge cut outs? quicker by hand, way quicker.
