I'm thinking you could bore the cup hole to within a gnat's eyelash of the rabbets for the glass -- the hinge I just looked at has a flange that projects beyond the edge of the hole by maybe 1/8". The tricky thing is that the knuckle of the hinge (depending on the style you use) may project inward and could be seen through the glass.
Should Use Tool...
Hi,
If you have wanted to construct true divided light doors for fine furniture and cabinets, look no further! Amana Tool's divided light door set enables you to make strong, attractive divided light doors with real mortise-and-tenon joints. The first bit shapes the decorative sticking along with a rabbet for the glass. The second bit cuts the cope and the tenon. Once assembled, all of the door frame parts, stiles, rails, muntins and mullions, interlock with 3/4" long tenons. Mullions are 3/4" wide.
Thanks..
