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

As usual, I bought a $32 new door to replace an existing door, that had
rounded hinges. So I want to use the hinges I have, being basically a cheap
skate. I don't want to buy an expensive router to install three hinges. I
saw where you can get something called a butt plate that you hit with a hammer
to make the cuts, but they apparently only come for square cornered hinges.
So I will use the advice above and hand cut the curved corners.
