The length of the mortise for the hinge is shortened a bit, so there will be an equal gap around the edge of the door. The offset amount is determined by the thickness of the washer used as a spacer between the two leaves of the hinge.

Now that the hinge is marked, the shoulders are cut. This is a very thin kerfed saw, and it can be pushed into the grain to cut the entire shoulder.

My Imai chisel cut all 18 mortises and showed no sign of wear! These are the most incredible chisels I have ever had the pleasure of using.
