Being a retired Machine Shop educator, with specialties in Woods and Metals, I wish I had you as a student. You did a great job.

Loved this video! Super helpful, easy to understand and great video shots of the process. Also love the approach you chose to install the hinges using a hands on style. Refreshing over the typical craftsman flex of pulling out a dozen large expensive power tools to get a small job done. Keep the videos coming please!

Very glad KZread recommended you. I've been watching a lot of your other videos. You're great to watch. I don't even plan on using SOSS hinges on anything and I watched the whole thing. :)

What a beautiful cabinet! Thank you for demonstrating the Soss hinges. I have limited tools so this was really helpful!

I really like this type of video, especially when it is not about something, where there are already a ton of videos (like euro style hinges...)

Michael: Thanks for taking the time to do this video. I have a single narrow frame we where were going to reluctantly mortise 2 butt hinges. All the other cabinet doors are hung with Blum concealed. Space restrictions on the 45 degree face frame ruled out the Blums. Only have to do 2 204 hinges, so this technique will get the job done! Nice walnut cabinet, BTW.

This was a great video. I would like to see more how to videos on the small parts of a project. Then an overall full project review.

This is by far the best woodworking book I have ever read, *TopFineWoodworking. Com* . My woodworking teacher endorses it to all of his students. I am impressed how authors managed to write very detailed topics. I`m surprised by the material and didn`t have a tough time following the lessons..

I have used these hinges on quite a few projects before but have always used a router jig to make the mortises. I am now in the midst of a desk build and considered using these but there would be no way to use a router. I had just given up on the idea and then you posted this... Thank you!

Well done! I'd encourage anyone unfamiliar with Soss hinges to learn how to use them for their best work. That's an exciting project you have going. I'll be eager to see your future videos on it and look to see what you've done on horizontal tambours. Making a nice, tight 10 minute video like this must be more difficult than those live-streamed time-wasters some of the guys are doing but I refuse to watch an extra 45 minutes of nonsense to discover their hidden gems.

Love the instructional videos! Now I have no fear of using them and can design with them. Thanks so much.

That tape trick, that's totally how I go about things. Actually you kind of do things generally the way I like to. Very practical, logical solutions to problems. Love it. Nice design there, btw.

I was just about to start a small project doing a double opening bemch/dining table extension and had absolute blank mind how to install the hinges with limited tools. I have all the ones you used and your instructions were perfect. Thanks mate, i really appreciate your video. A big hello from Sydney Australia.

The first coffee of the day always taste better while watching your videos 😋

All good stuff! For those that might not be quite as precise with their drilling and chiseling, I humbly recommend that you check out Sugatsune hinges. They don't come in quite as small sizes as the Soss, but they do have a broad range, and unlike Soss hinges, the Sugatsunes are three-way adjustable, which allows you to overcome slight positioning errors when cutting the mortices. For anyone thinking of using the BIG Soss hinges (room door size and above), I STRONGLY encourage you to check out the Sugatsune ones, as adjustment issues with large doors can be very painful with Soss hinges and their fixed geometry.

Good to know! Thank you

I appreciate how level you have made your camera in comparison to your work surface (at approx. 9:55). Great work! Love this style hinge

Really like this style of video. Big builds are cool, but it’s nice to learn new techniques

That was very helpful. I’ve avoided those hinges for a long time because I found them to be such a struggle. I appreciate it!

Very helpful! They give such a slick look that is perfect for this piece!

Very interesting video, please make more of them! I have never seen this hinge before, I love it!

This video was great! I may not have tried these hinges in a future project without having seen the install first, and would definitely like to see you do more like this.

Glad to hear it! Thanks!!

Yes very good information I really appreciate everybody who takes the time to teach and instruct those of us who are not quite sure of themselves.

love this style of video.. .learned a whole bunch... love the cabinet it looks spectacular

Yes please more instructional videos. I just got some of these hinges and searched KZread for tips and tricks, and this video helped me. So thanks! …and carry on.

Great video. Great explanations, great camera work. Editing was top notch.

Unless you try out the innovations, you cannot learn something new. And you are always working to teach innovations. And you always produce innovative studies and ideas. Thank you for sharing. See you. greetings.

Fantastic video, really helpful and I am going to buy some of these hinges! Thanks for posting

Nice job! And yes definitely more of these!

Michael, niche type instructional videos done by sharp/intelligent and/or professional guys like you would be a very nice addition to KZread.

Yes definitely a great video format on one very useful topic. Keep ‘em coming, thanks!

All your videos are great, but these are particularly helpful, as your subdued style makes it pleasant to learn.

Really like these detailed how-to videos.

Please do more of this, this was great. Nice.

Yes sir. Unique how to's are often very helpful.

Love the cabinet! This was a really useful video as I am about to fit some of these hinges and I was really nervous

Great video bro, you never fail to keep me super enganged!

Nice detailed video. Nailed the reveal. It would be great to see more videos like this.

Mikey rarely disappoints.

Yes we like this type of instructional video. You have incredible skills and we appreciate you sharing them with us

Great video! Have a couple of small SOSS hinges to do. This seems to be better than the router jib, at least for the smaller ones.

Awesome instructional video, please do more! Yours great instructor !

Nice work. Beautiful cabinet.

Great information... just in time for the humidor build that I am going to start

Yes instructional & building things. Thank you for sharing. 👍👍😊

It was great, would love to see more!

Nicely done. I would like to see more of this type of video. Thanks,

Great video, very helpful. That cabinet is looking killer. Mahalo for sharing! : )

Awesome video, great explanation and exactly what I was looking for.

Super helpful video, thanks!

Instructional videos are always good.

Keep the videos coming, like the doors you make nice design.

Very Nice! I have some but have not had the confidence to install so I think this video and the idea of a template I may try next opportunity!

Great tip, thank you Michael :)

Nice vid! Gives a good insight how to go about this job.

Perfect video. Very Helpful.

excellent video, keep it up, you have the right formula.

Wow. Awesome job!

I also like to see “how to” videos. Even though I barely have tools and do something by myself. I just enjoy to learn these kind of things

Same. And even better when it's about innovative and rare (but practical) items. I'd easily lose track of time just watching.

Awesome work Michael! 😃👍🏻👊🏻

Been waiting for this video !!!!

Beautiful work. Awesome video. Wish I could have had you as a mentor.

Great video. I enjoyed it.

Loved it 🫶

Bro, first time watcher, fantastic video!

Love these videos

That was perfect!!!🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

Thanks! Pretty awesome.

I have a Makita detail router and I will try these both ways. Very great style of video. Yes please to the detail then overview.

Loved it Michael! Thank you and looking forward to taking a stab at installing some of these on an upcoming project.. not near as intimidating as first thought.

Great vid, thanks so much!

Super helpful! thanks for your tips ^_^

Thats a beautiful table

Nice work. They look great (when you can see them).

I love your instructional videos! For the neophytes among us, could you please discuss how to accurately measure for wood cutting...?

Well presented.

This is very helpful

Boom. Nice work.

Nice. Very similar mechanism to barrel hinges it looks like. I’ll have to try them out

OMG thank you 🙏! I have and odd fitting where I cannot remove the stiles from the cabinet and am unable to use other hinges due to framing behind the door. This helps immensely and provides a solution to my problem!

Nice, good job

really useful thank you

Well explained.

Yes I like the instructional video version.

Super helpful

Excellent video. More of the same would be great.

That cabinet is stunning. Would love to have a tenth of your skills..
