I’ve got 3 shapers for making my cabinet doors 1 for profile, 1 for cope and one setup for a raised panel. I don’t do it professionally anymore, but it is still so nice going to the shop not having to mess with any setup.

Feather boards for pressure against fence and against the table will help prevent loss of fingers. Save them digits.

[johnmorlan]

you can minimize the tear out with a sacrificial junk board behind your workpiece.

Friend of mine lost fingers when he slipped on a router table working confidently along. The piece torque on him and twisted in just at the wrong moment. He is an experienced machinist too. You get 10. Count em. Please use push blocks ( it also would be faster). I know you know this but please.

In a old fine woodworking magazine a cabinet guy had four routers in one table. Imagine a 3-ft square table with a router on each side the fences of the four routers look just like a box on top of the table all the ejected dust would be vacuumed from that centered box. It was quite a slick setup.

You could easily do this with one router table. If you planed this all out or if you made setup blocks for each stage so this is easily repeatable in the future without a lot of setup. We create setup blocks everytime we do something we haven't done before and save them so that we repeat any setup super quick.

Good to see you are taking your game up the curve! Three items for your consideration: 1) put a straight piece of scrape backer screwed to your t-bar miter gauge and no more tear out! 2) do use infeed and out feed feather boards on the fence as it will keep your materials tight to the table. 3) if you start doing raised panel work - or any other larger work piece - figure out a larger table surface, maybe it's hinged on an existing table.
Keep up the good work and keep pursuing your knowledge of The Orders and Classical design/architecture. You have all of the technical skill to do excellent work. As you pursue your classical education, your work will go to a level you likely never expected. I look forward to your success!

Been doing carpentry and cabinet work for 45 plus years and I have been watching this young man for a few years here and there, and I just wanted to say that he is the real deal, he really cares about the finished product of anything that he does.

[WINCHANDLE]

Ditto with dedicated tables for each profile. For dovetailing on a Leigh jig, I have two routers. One for straight bit, the other router for dovetail bit. Set them up perfectly for repeatable cuts.

[multidinero]

Maybe someone else has said this, but you need double top mounted feather boards on the profiling table to keep consistent downward force on your workpiece. For consistency of your profiles, that downward force is essential.

Really like your videos. I have invested in multiple routers to build cabinet doors but I’ve taken a little different tack. I use router table inserts with the fence attached to the insert. I find it saves lots of space. Just pop in the router/fence combo, hook up power and dust collection, then router away. Thanks again!!

What an awesome idea. I’m an old cabinet maker and we had the grizzly 3 head shaper setup for raised panel doors. Get these tables on sale and you can have a sweet production setup. Just happened upon your channel and I’m about to hit the subscribe button. Something about you I like. Your so easy to listen too and explain well

[mahto]

I love the idea of multiple tables. I do similar thing with bench drill presses, leave setup for hinge drilling etc. You are so right about the lock mitre bits. I got mine about 20 years ago and only successfully used it once.

[williamparker]

Nice shop. Good video on how you handle your production parts. On the mini split drain, drill and tap a hole in the plumbing cleanout cap for a 90 degree fitting and attach the drain line. Drainage mess solved. On the side with the climbing ivy, you might leave the style of door system with the same cut up (3w2h). Things seem to look better in three's. Might consider building a oak multi slide (XXO OR XXX) with a transom above. Maybe utilize awning windows above (top hinge open out). When building with wood, sometimes the sightline can get a little wide. But it would be functional and a fun project. In my own shops, I've always been carful about not having too many doors because of space utilization around an operable door. With a multi-slide door with a operables above this allows you to set furniture in front of it and still have ventilation above (plus you'll have the other slider close to it). Anyhow it sound like you have some fun projects ahead of you. Cheers

Love your channel and think your are an excellent finish carpenter. That being said, safety working in your shop needs to improve before you seriously hurt yourself. I got chills watching you run your hands right past the router bits on your router table. You may feel comfortable doing it that way and you may think you have a firm grip on the work piece-but trust me - that router is much stronger then you are and has no conscience.

[daniellemiddleton]

If you are planing to put a window in that back wall of your garage hence the cut out, make sure to build a temp wall on the inside of garage two to four feet away from window so you have room to work and support the roof while you install

[oiladviseguy]

To prevent tear- out I start at the end that tears out and go in reverse for just a little. Usually pull the wood in reverse for half the bit profile. Go slow and then push back and start your piece as normal, when you get to the end, then now there is nothing to tear-out. Very easy and a never fail method.

I too gave up on my lock-miter bit in the router table. Terribly hard to adjust. However, I should have bought the jig for that purpose from Rockler: Router Bit Set-Up Jigs for 22627 45° Lock Miter Bits. They have other models.

Eye and hearing protection ?
Nice set up. Well planned and executed. Very nice instructive video !
I didn’t mention feather boards, hold downs, push devices because others ahead of me did.
When you get old like me you’ll be thankful you used personal protective devices.
Your work is good .
Nice shop space utilization.

Roy Underhill of the Woodwrights Shop does a great video on Door Construction with muntins demonstrating how to make these. I think it's listed under season 28 making a corner cabinet, well worth looking at.
