Props for the “oops” shot of you blowing out the far side. That was just outstanding!

[@10MinuteWorkshop]

Haha, thanks! 👍

[@katabrontes]

Peter Millard Hi Peter, Better to use the depth stop when you drill out the dowel as well? Mike

[@node100101]

Hit like to this comment to. give this man a medal in 2024! Well explained, covering all details

[@theblackmid]

Had a corner cabinet door in my kitchen fall off last week. Ordered the hinge plates, which arrived on Friday, and installed today. Feels even stronger than when it was screwed directly into the wood. Thanks for the instructional video sir!!!

[@skyrock1]

I find the the near F-bomb blooper hilarious well crafted video

[@waynewei3380]

I actually think the quick dirty way is a lot more durable. I would prefer to this method for home fix. Nice video, and thank you for sharing.

Great job peter you never stop learning in woodwork 👍

[@10MinuteWorkshop]

Thanks! 👍👍

[@dannypearman2926]

I watched this, brilliant, I knew the kitchen cupboard door needed attention, ordered some dowels from your below list and one of those flat saws. Went down to see how bad the damage was and the bloody door came off in my hands. Quick fix, used some masking tape on the drill to note the depth and also used a couple of rawl plugs as a temporary measure, solid as a rock now, will use your method in the New Year. Thankyou for putting this video up, really helped me, would probably be getting an ear-full from the wife if I had not watched this and been able to immediately fix. Have a good Christmas.

[@altaf2317]
