Default How To Cut Out A Door Hinge Recess W/O A Router

On 2/24/2011 7:35 PM Ron spake thus:

Had to replace a piece of a door jam that was rotted out, now I need
to cut out a hinge recess with rounded corners and I don't have a
router.

I have a Dremel, does Home Depot sell any kind of bit for this
purpose?

Any suggestions?


Chisels and a knife. Sharp. Cut the straight edges first with a chisel.
Scribe the corners with a knife. (A fresh utility blade knife works
fine.) Hog out the waste with chisel(s).
