I alchoices hate having to do the hinge mortises for doors. I dont want to screw the Carey Template Companys template to the frame or the door because I dont paint woodwork, I stain and varnish. I had added a fence to the templates so I could clamp them in place, but clamping was a pain. I had made up one for the doors and one for the frames. Currently I am refinishing and rehanging doors from out guest bedroom, so I dont have to mortise the doors, already done. I wondered how I could do the mortises more easily. It dawned on me to use the EZ-One to support the frame member, and attach the template and fence to one of the top SMEs with a connector and pan head screw, and add a low profile clamp the hole the frame member in place.
One of two screws attaching fence to template.

Lining up the marks with the mortise in the fence. I added pencil marks to the scribe line for clarity.
It works like a champ, I just need to move the EZ-One from the corner it is currently in to a place with a little more room so that I dont have to move the rig to another SME to complete the job.
