Dick, I posted a long and detailed reply to a similiar request on this forum way back a ways.
It involved just using lattice strip and thin ply wood to make 'Jigs' or, templates. I'll look up the archives and refer it to you .
No need to use template guides or expensive gadgets either.
You can check yourself by finding posts on Stein/Steinmetz/hinge templates/ etc etc.
It involves using your 6" router base with it.s edge guide and a 1/2"straight hinge cutting bit,several pieces of lattice strip or masonite exactly 2-3/4" long (For spacers.)
I will try to send a photo if I can manage it. Steinmetz
Just found them search: Hinge routing templates There's a few posts by me and others. Stein.
Maybe some other of you Knotheads remember the thread??

Steinmetz posted details in at least 2 posts. Stein: you can right click that link, select Add to Favorites, and give it a name like "Hinge Template Post" for future reference.
In the post below, you mentioned sending info by snail mail. Did you ever get the hang of that scanner?? Tee hee.http://forums.taunton.com/tp-knots/messages?msg=12417.6forestgirl -- you can take the girl out of the forest, but you can't take the forest out of the girl ;-)Another proud member of the "I Rocked With ToolDoc Club" .... :>)
Incredibly late, but I got scans of the Steinmetz plans done. Look for new discussion "Steinmetz Hinge Templates" under General Discussion.
