A customer acquired a beautiful door from an estate and wanted to replace the ordinary door in for her hall closet. The problem was that her old door had two hinges, but the new one had three. See the photos below to see how I remedied the situation.

The hall closet with the old door removed.

This old hinge pocket needed to be removed.
Minwax epoxy was added and when it dried I sanded it down (not shown).
I made a jig out of scrap plywood to cut the new hinge pockets.
Job done. A beautiful new door for my customer!
