Onto jobs much higher up the priority list...
After assessing my free upstairs pine doors two have fucked wood at the top hinge. It looks too big to fill, so I need to cut and splice a peice of replacement wood in. Both roughly 25 x 2.6 x 1.5cm.
What do I need to know given that it is bang on where the new hinge will sit? I guess I also add some reinforcing screws.
Specifically what wood I use, is modern pine strong enough? I have a bit of spare hard wood (meranti probably).
Also for the top door I could probably get away with just a 15cm long section + filler instead of the full 27cm. Is it easier/better to do that or is splicing the full length easier/better?
Is it worth moving the hinges down the door? More effort but having measured only 2 out of 4 of the door frames have hinges in the same place, so I don't think it will matter visually.
I have a router.
Cheers.
