Phase 1 kitbuilders:

-3 hinges can be placed in perfect alignment with each other by using 3/4" x 
3/4"
x 1/8" thick aluminum
angle of an appropriate length.  Place the angle opening up, butt the hinge 
against
the inside edge of
the upright leg, place a 1/8" stick on top of the hinge, and clamp.  The hinge
center will fall exactly on
the edge of the horizontal leg. Offer up that edge to the hinge flange and 
proceed.
Perfect alignment, very light.

1" x 1" x 1/8" angle will work for -5 hinges with a strip of tape or two on the
upright leg to take up the few
tenths of a mm difference in width.

Feeling like Martha Stewart
