I might look into that option (and see if maybe I can do it myself -- an excuse to buy a few forstner bits, if it's just one simple cavity on the door).
Edit; Just found this Kreg Hinge jig. I'm a big fan of the Kreg pocket-hole jig, so this may definitely be an option.
I have/had already intended to buy a table saw, router table, orbital and belt sanders, and a power drill. I assume the drill press is just for the hinge cups? I was planning on getting one of these jigs to ensure consistent and even cup placement. Would this be enough to preclude a drill press for the time being?
The shopvac/respirator setup is something I was considering, but will definitely do now thanks to your advice and others.
The edge finish issue is something I keep hearing about but it seems there are a million solutions (spackle, drywall paste, wood glue being the most common). I guess I'll just have to make a few test pieces and see what works best with the paint and primer I end up using.
Thanks for the advice and insight!
