Hatch to cellar: How to do the hinge and edges?
Novice here. I'm putting flooring down in this old backroom and there's a door to the cellar that lifts up. I'm gonna put hydraulics on it and think I've got the handle worked out, but I have no idea how to do the hinge so it's hidden, or at least not something you stub your toe on.
Further, I hadn't thought about the bare edges of the wood, should I just leave them or is there some common way of finishing them that will be better in the long run?
Thank you in advance!
