Speaking of glue up, I was wondering what kind/brand of corner clamp he is using? The yellow one ...... anyone have one or know the maker/company? I have used some corner clamps and did not care for the ones I have tried. The one he was using seemed easy to use.

It was interested during one of the videos where Ian mentioned that he was working on a jig for doing the hinge mortices instead of upside down on the router table. I came across this simple jig on Instagram that looks like it would work very well once you get it dialed in the first time and should be repeatable after that.

Treecycle. Spot on.
There was a time where I was making 30 to 35 MDF "memory" boxes every three days for a kids toy chain (hard work!). Putting the hinges on had to be highly automated - a 35x20 brass jobbie I bought in bulk from China (excellent quality too TBH).
I made a jig not dissimilar. Just MDF. I hardened the edges by applying thin CA. Very fine adjustments were made with either blue painters tape and/or clear box packing tape. Using the tape allowed me to get ALL the depths, offsets and whatnot perfectly right.... absolutely bang on every time, just using a little router (the Festool one). Clamp, route, install hinge. Simple.
It was a a basic thing, but by jig it was accurate.
It always impresses me what jigs can do. Someone needs to write a good book or website with Just Jigs - jigs for all occasions and How To Jig. Jigs for many functions.... a multifunction all-adjusting, all-doing, all-getting-right jig-o-rama!
A good jig is an ugly thing - but it saves a LOT of time

I have a series of brass jigs for fitting Brusso hinges (which I don’t use much these days). They are much the same in principle as the one Dallas linked to:
E7D6AEBF-38D3-4219-B758-EA02F80BF5DE.jpeg
I have others shop-made from ply. Generally I prefer to cut the hinge rebates on the router table, but if I didn’t have access to a router table I’d happily use these.
Thought: Would “a multifunction all-adjusting, all-doing, all-getting-right jig-o-rama!” be a jig-a-jig??

There are a few books on just jigs and fixtures - I have this one which is not bad - The Art of Woodworking - Shop-Made Jigs and Fixtures (ISBN: 0-8094-9508-2). I can't remember where I got it from since I've had it for over a decade, but it's got a few good ideas and illustrations in there.
