The best video by far and the only one that actually show how you measure up.

Watching your latest video, I can help but remember a few years ago, watching you cut wood in your driveway using a circular saw. If my memory serves me, you didn’t even have a work table or saw horses. Look at you now! Such an accomplished craftsman now. Young man you have come a long way since then. You are simply extraordinary.

Michael Myrick thank you, glad you are enjoying the channel!

Awesome Video Man! First tutorial I have seen where somebody actually breaks everything down to explain it which helps people such as me understand it better, lol. Keep up the excellent work and videos!

Thanks for the details on how to measure for the rails and the grooves. You're an excellent teacher.

Man, your videos are awesome. I learn something from every one that I watch. And I appreciate that you go slowly and cover all the details. Great job.

I don't have a router table so it's nice to see that you prefer the table saw for making your groove cuts and how easy it is

My favorite video so far and I've watch so many shaker styles doors. Going to attempt the doors today thanks to your video. I choose this video to follow your lead. Thanks again.

Came out great!! 👌👍

You are a good teacher.

great instruction. Thanks

Dude!!! You are a great teacher. Awesome skills. Thanks, I will be doing this soon.

Good job mate

Great video!

Always a great day messing about in the shop!

another informative video!

Great job! Your skill level is very impressive. Much respect for your “other” profession and your future one. (I have about 7 “others” in my family)

That was great. I'd love to see how you achieved such a smooth painted finish on the doors

wowwwww. great bro

My preference is to build the door frame around the panel of plywood. That allows me to use dowels for jointing the frames. You just router out the frames to allow the panel to fit but do not router to the end to allow dowel joints. I sometimes make really thick framed doors and can put the dowel below the router cut.

Thanks for this. Last year we decided to update our old kitchen instead of tearing it out completely. I made new shaker doors with the same concealed soft close hinges, new drawers with self-close sliders and a new buffet for the dining room. My wife ordered new appliances and quartz countertops. My son installed the nice backsplash. Even though I used a router table for the tenons and grooves (mortises?) I used your calculations to size the doors (and drawers) and make a cut list. BTW: I purchased the router bits to create the tenons and groves but they were, as you said, not correct for undersized plywood. I did find a pair that is sized specifically for plywood. I learned how to make a face from from one of your videos so I used that for the new buffet and I had to alter the cabinets around the slide-in stove so I remade the face frame there too. Your videos helped me create a very nice kitchen. I can't see how to upload a picture or I'd show you. I really appreciate your videos. I learn a lot from you.

Fantastic video bro best I’ve seen. Your direction is thoughtful and methodical thanks a bunch. I did wonder why no mention of maybe cutting your panel a fraction smaller than needed for possible movement or space for glue and minor error. Otherwise great job I cant wait to try it out!

I got a lot out this....thank you...i just made some doors and truth be told i am not exited about pocket screws for putting together doors....they tend to pull up one side even if you use the kreg clamps...i have to make a second look at dowels or tenons...

That was my previous table saw. It was a 3 horsepower Sawstop. I don’t have it anymore as I’m sure you’ve seen in my videos I made this year, I have a sliding table saw now but the sawstop was very good. When you get to a certain point, there’s nothing like a slider.

I would like to know how you made the “hangars” for painting the doors! Ingenious!

I need to know too. About how you painted the doors. Also need video how to do the hardware on the doors

Nice work, I made some cabinets recently for my camper with shaker doors. I thought the tongue and groove router set would be SO easy. It wasn't. The setup was not as easy as expected, the fit was not as good as i expected, but worst of all, I realized my router table was not as square as I thought and so it made the rails want to be at a slight angle when the joints were fully engaged. I also found it very difficult to run the stub tenons on the router table. Between those 2 issues I wound up basically scrapping everything and started over using the table saw.

One thing I will add is that if you are going to flip the stock to get the groove centered it is absolutely VITAL that your stock is all exactly the same thickness. This is likely NOT the case if you buy pre-milled wood from the store, and it will result in variable thickness grooves and joints that don't line up and are either too tight or too loose. My solution without having to mill everything if you don't have that option is instead to reference only the show face and either use a dado or move the fence for the second pass. This will result in faces that are flush and grooves that line up, even if the backs don't match perfectly.

Wow super helpful. Question. Could you tell me the name of your table saw and the measurements of the table? I desperately need a table saw. Also, how would you install glass in your shaker doors?

Talented finish carpenter & you have a knack for teaching! Anthony I always use MDF panels if it’s paint grade it looks like you used a nice ply? Anyway if so why? I am thinking you must be getting a better 1/4” grade than I do here in Nor-Cal? Ok man I sure enjoy your post. Please keep it strictly projects u do! Always man is that a cabinet Saw Stop 3hp? I am running a big Grizzly now & love it but one day I want the Saw Stop; u gotta enjoy that?

Awesome video! Really enjoy the full explanation of the things you do. Can you elaborate a little on advantages/disadvantages of using a router table for this instead of a table saw? I've seen tons of videos of guys swearing by one method vs. another. Also just curious, looked like poplar for the rails and stiles but what was the panel? Lastly, I've seen guys caulk the inside edges of the panels before painting... what are you thoughts on that? Appreciate what you're doing!!

@AnthonyScolaro1

Mike Biniecki the best way to make them is the way that works better for you as far as quality and production time. I can make 4 of these on the table saw in about 30 min. The router table like I said in the video has the disadvantages of the bits being oversized for the panels, you can’t push the material through quickly or you’ll get tear out and burn marks and possibly bog down the router. If you use the router table, your adding a tool also cause you still need the table saw to cut all the parts. As far as caulking the seems of the panel, I don’t do it because caulk shrinks and separates, then it looks terrible. I’ve never done it.

Awesome video! Subbed. Quick question, is it possible to make the styles thinner without compromising the integrity of the groove? I assume I can just go with a smaller groove.

@AnthonyScolaro1

Welcome aboard! Traditional cabinets use stiles that are much less wide. You can make the stiles anywhere from 1 & 7/8” to 2 & 1/2”, you will not compromise integrity of the groove. Even with stiles that are not as wide, You can still make the groove 1/4 or 1/2” deep

can you talk about how you glue the interior panels? it looked like you put a dab of glue in the center of the long edge of the panel when you glued it up.

@AnthonyScolaro1

Жыл бұрын

Because the center panel is plywood, there is no expansion or contraction, so Just a dab of glue in the groove of the door stiles and rails will hold the pane from any rattling or movement over time. You can also use what they call “cabinet door space balls” which pretty much does the same thing.

It depends on if you are painting, staining or just clear coat finishing them. For painted, I recommend poplar or maple with a birch plywood center panel. Some people like to use MDF also. For stain- oak or maple. Clear coat finish only-walnut or cherry

Robert LaGrange floating panels are for solid wood panel not plywood, a drop of glue in the center of the rails or stiles is fine, the heavy glue you are seeing is for the tongues and shoulders, not the panel.

Watch the glue up again, I only put a small bead of glue in the center of one stile for the panel. No other part of the panel gets glue. I’ve made hundreds of these doors and never had one fail. Watch other people build these with a plywood panel and you’ll see the same thing.
