Today's main focus was on the completing the first joint of the legs, and then I moved onto making a Soss Hinge Jig which was the exact size for one of the leaves. This allowed me to get the spacing perfectly accurate on both pieces, as this is crucial to get a perfect hinge.
Overall this was an easy enough set-up which I cut using the laser cutter, and then fine tuned with sandpaper and the mini-bobbin sander to get a wide enough opening. The main problem with this set-up is the deep mortise that is required is too deep for the router, so I have to hand chisel the depth required.
