Easily the most common hinge in the world is the Butt Hinge, and it comes in many variations, sizes, materials and coatings. In this video we look at a variety of types of hinges and give some tips and suggestions on how best to install them.

This was so amazingly helpful! I'm a beginner in both carpentry and diy so just trying to even understand the basics can be hard because people assume you already know.

I'm trying to build just a coop but I'm using it as a practice for pretty much every skill related to it. I'm sanding, staining, building doors, using trim to hide the end of the hardware cloth, etc. I'm hoping to later use the skills to build my own customized furniture.

COlin, you are a great source of knowledge and inspiration to me, a novice, an amatuer wood worker. Thank you Sir for your posts. Greetings from New Zealand. Stay safe and healthy

Thank you so much for this informative video. it answered exactly the questions I had about which hinges to buy. It's quite confusing to someone not familiar with all the different ways a door can be mounted. You made it crystal clear. Thanks so much!

I remember helping my dad hang doors. He chiseled the recesses perfectly. Marked everything with his pocket knife. Pocket knife, pencil, chisels and planes were always sharp. Used a yankee drill for the screw holes. Drilled for door knobs with a brace and bit. It was great and I miss those days! Anytime he or I needed a marking guage type thing, we just made one.

Thanks! I needed info on how to install butterfly hinges. I didn't know about the centering bits--cool!

[talstack]

Very useful, Liked how you dragged the chisel back to find the notch.
Thank you

Wonderful video, exactly what i was looking for!
I was very confused about putting up any sort of hinges, and that was what made me fear starting up the woodworking hobby.
Thank you.

A excellent topic Colin. This is one of the make or break issues whenever a lid or door is to be put in place. Mess this up and it can really effect the final outcome of our projects. An excellent video Amigo.
