Anyone know where i can get those no bore hidden hinges? I would go with the regular european hinges but i dont have a drill press, router or anything to bore out a hole for them.

You dont need a drill press or a router just the 35mm bit and a electric drill. Drill through a chunk of scrap as a guide. Saw off the scrap to match the edge of door offset usually 5mm. Clamp the scrap to the door aligning the edge and use the scrap as a guide.

+1. I use the same process. I never have a drill press handy. Though I did enough one job that I built a 1/4" plywood guide to drill both with ease and accuracy. :)

Thanks for the tip but at the moment i don't have a 35mm bit so i would have to shell out another 10-20 bucks for the bit
