Hi there all. I am making some small (45 x 60cm) cupboard doors from 18mm ply with 12mm thick mdf 'planks' attached to the front to match some larger shaker style doors. Using normal butt hinges, the screws will fall partly between the mdf and the ply, or in the mdf. I know mdf is not great when you try and add fixings on the edge. What is the best approach? I am considering either drilling 10mm holes where the screws will go, then putting in dowel to take the screws, or routing out a 10mm deep section of the mdf, leaving the facing intact and putting a 10mm thick, 50mm deep section of pine to take the hinge screws. What would people recommend? Will the dowel be enough or should I be 'robust' and put a larger section of pine in place? Your wisdom (and any better suggestions) appreciated. Note: I don't want to use concealed Blum style hinges. Thanks all.
