How to Make Shaker Style Doors |Woodworking Project | DIY Cabinetry

[SSBailey]

Im rebuilding/restoring an ‘62 Airstream 30’ Soverign and I’m on the galley cabinets. Love, love, love the simple, straight forward build. Awesome!

[mattmilauskas]

look at those curls baby! maple is so pretty especially the edge grain. nice work!

[stephenjames]

Exactly how I have been making shaker doors for 40 years! Thanks!

[tcbridges]

I think you are one of the best woodworking teachers on Youtube. Thanks for all your help I am a newbie I am retired for a year and got into woodwork and have really learned alot from all you videos

[whomadethatsaltysoup]

Excellent demo of how to make shaker doors. Thanks for sharing.

[robhoffman]

Love your presentation style and content, Thank-You! I have done several panel doors just fine in my shop with 1/4” panel inserts but now my wife would like me to build wood grain shaker style pantry cabinets with thicker panels (3/8 or 1/2). Is it possible to use Wood veneer sided mdf and just router down the thickness to fit in the groove - or do I need to build solid panels and adjust for expansion?

[adrianlegg]

Great informative video, I make my doors 2mm bigger all round and then trim them to size in the panel saw, this also squares them up.

[RoundTownWithMike]

Nice! Looks good. How far out from the table saw did you rout your cross-cut sled/miter gauge tracks? I am about to do that to my table. Looks like about 18"

[stevendemarcus]

Shaper, insert tooling, feeder. Much more efficient and reliable. Stop block method on table saw more reliable for cutting rails and stiles. Miter saws are used for breaking down rough lumber before milling. My advice to those wanting to start building cabinet doors but haven’t and don’t know where to start would be simple. 2 1/4 HP router with a table you buy or make. Router bits. No table saw. The hardest possible way to build a shaker door. The router will allow you to offer multiple profiles. Lastly, eased edges on the rails and stiles are the true game changer if doing your own finishing. Good luck.

Question, is this the same general process for making interior doors shaker doors (6-panel)?

[BZ]

I like the process, just not a fan of 1/4 inch panels . I like to use 3/8 panels

[lcb]

I cut the tenons using a dado set and sacrificial fence along with a miter gauge. After set up, 2 cuts and the tenon is done.

[researchcapt]

Nice useful video. Never seen a tenon jig like that...cool.

Stereo amplifiers need a little ventilation because of the waste heat. A few holes drilled on the bottom and the top would do that. You could add computer fan filters that would work to keep the dust out. They need a 120 mm hole.

It took this video for me to finally understand the relationship between the jointer and planer. I'm now producing perfect boards.

[JamesKnightSmith]

May I suggest a self Centering drill bit for the hinge holes into the cabinet.

[GraemeForbes-es]

The small alternative is to use a floating tenon for the frame joint this saves having to cut the tenon with the risk of not cutting it accurately especially if you wish to offset the panel groove

[greenmambaguitarsheadguy]

bravo, great job, nice finish on those too.

[pnmacdonald]

Thank you, Matt. Very nice video. Could you share product info for the door hinges, please? I used some Blum for a cabinet I made and I am not happy with them. Thank you!

[jlydon]

Is it normal to see the planar ribs? I'm looking to buy a thickness planar, and wondering if that's the norm. I recently used a hand planar for the first time on butcher block, and was able to sand those vallies out using 60 grit and stepping up to 320. Wasn't fun though.

[gerrymcintosh]

Geez, those cabinets are nicer than the ones in my kitchen. Great work Sir. 🇨🇦👍
