The other thing though was my Hong cut and back cut were not at the same level as the bottom of the wedge cut. I have not been trying to do that. Always a few inches up from the bottom of the wedge. That was bad advice I got from I don’t know where.
Any thoughts on how I should mill it up?
I think the hinge had very little to do with the barberchair. The face was not deep enough for the type of wood, as ixskiller stated he was cutting the back cut and it started to go/fall so he took off (very good move on a barberchair) so he could not stay there and finish his backcut to make the hinge narrower. The Alder here in the NW is very prone to splitting, as it sounds like Ash is, so deep face and maybe place a strap or chain wrapped around just above the cut
