I am at it again.
Here is how I do hinge slots in ply. In pic one there is the drill bit, at the arrow, of which I drill a hole at the bottom of each hinge slot. Then I use the red handled saw to cut a groove up to the top of the slot. Then I use very thin aluminum with sandpaper glued to it to start sanding the opening wider, I add very thin aluminum shims to keep opening it up. Once open enough I use the brown handled saw with paper to continue opening the slot until the hinge fits perfectly. Each hinge slot takes about twenty minutes so I best get back to it, having 15 to do in all.
