Kitchen Cabinet Hinge Rescue - Part 1 to Part 5

In this video series, I take on the somewhat common task of fixing a hinge that has worked loose from its cupboard mounting.  This happens over time, and (like most people) it gets ignored until the door is so loose that it cannot be closed, or closed easily.  By that point, the hinge mount is so damaged that simply putting in a new screw isn't feasible and the mounting point needs to be "built back up" to the point where the original screw (or a close copy thereof) can then be used to re-attach the hinge mount.  This typically involves reaming out the hole to round (if not already round) and then the insertion of enough supplemental material to give the old (or replacement) screw sufficient purchase.  This video series covers this process in fine detail, so anyone can reproduce my results.
