Honestly, for a kitchen, unless you’re determined to make one, or want to use the build as an excuse to buy some tools, it’s something that I’d recommend you buy in, assuming you’re here in the UK. Kitchen cabinet sizes are standard, and widely available at prices you couldn’t hope to match if you were building your own. Personally I’d rather put my time & effort into the details, the doors and end panels, than the factory work of kitchen carcasses. Whatever you decide, I hope it goes well. 👍👍

Well done. I have done Shaker doors all the ways you've shown and more. I really really like the extra durability of the thick back door. But I know it's honestly not needed lol. If a client breaks a door then they did something wrong and they can pay for it to be fixed. I'm honestly not sure which I will use long term going forward. I also really like using a stopped dado for the inset panel and then using a domino. Less clean up work. No trimming needed. Straight to sanding without using a filler. And the faces are a little more flat and accurate. But honestly they are all great methods of making doors.

Thanks! Funny, I find the ‘stopped groove then Domino’ to be more work, but whatever works for you, right? As long as you get a strong flat door out of it - that’s the right size - then that’s what counts! 👍👍

I actually have all the equipment and I still make MDF doors the "easiest" way. I use barge contact cement to adhere the 1/4 material down to the 1/2 material. Once the edge is sanded, I've never needed to fill in any gaps around the edge. You definitely might need to if you only use two buckets to clamp down your glue up. Both methods work just fine

Thanks! Poplar / tulipwood is a popular choice for door rails and stiles as it’s pretty stable, and obviously a harder material than MDF so likely to take knocks better - not that I’ve had any issues with MR MDF tbh. Not sure if I’d glue in the panel or not - the MDF won’t move, but the poplar may - so probably one for you to assess your environment for heat & moisture. No problem in principle with the plan though. 👍👍

I use tongue and groove bits (not Axminster) or shaker bits and find that once you have the setting dialled in, if you measure the router bit height with a Trend Digital Depth Gauge (or similar) and record it for next time it's repeatable and pretty quick to set up - I always do a test piece or two for the final precise adjustment.

Really informative, thank you! You mentioned a router table is the safest way to cut the grooves- how else could you do it? I am thinking of investing in a table saw and I am wondering if I could use that. I’m also wondering if would you use the same method for building the panel door if you were using hardwood instead of MDF?

@10MinuteWorkshop

4 жыл бұрын

Thanks! It’s possible to use the same grooving but freehand in a router, but I wouldn’t recommend it as it’s for experienced router users only. And yes it would be possible to make the grooves with a table saw, but using an unguarded blade is a real no-no here in the UK - it’s a 5-figure fine in a commercial workshop, so I couldn’t recommend it.

I make cabinet doors using exactly the loose tenon technique described and it's great. The only difference I normally have is I use beaded pine cladding for the panel. It's extra work but I like the look. Quick question, are you using an extension on your router so you can do above table bit changes? If so, is it any good and which brand did you go for?

Firstly...love the videos Peter, you’ve actually made me think about leaving kitchens and bathrooms and working solely on joiner projects.....just a quick question, your first method where you router a groove and the glue it floating tenons at the ends, how do you do 2 or more panel doors? Do you glue it small loose tenons for the middle rails or do you not route those sections?

@10MinuteWorkshop

Great informative video as always Peter! I'm planning to use the second method with 18mm standard MDF and 6mm stiles and rails glued and pinned for a tall (full board height) 240cm wardrobe door. After reading comments on other videos and forums, worried about problems with warping when stuck to only one side causing an imbalance. Will warping be an issue with standard 18mm MDF? (Also plan to use 5 blum hinges per door)

Thanks for the great video! I have a quick question; is there any reason for the choice of MDF vs solid wood for the frame of the door? As far as I can see the only reason to use solid wood in the frame (or pannel) would be if you are not painting the finished door, but was wondering if using a solid wood frame would provide any structural or other benefits?

@10MinuteWorkshop

Enjoyed that, thanks... Different to the mortice and tennons I usually do on timber doors. Can you tell me how you deal with the cut edges on the rails and stiles when painting this style of MDF door as usually the MDF has a tendency to fur up a bit after painting and sanding the cut edges when they are right next to the installed (or stuck on) back panel is super tricky.... You could, as you mention, edge bad the outer exposed MDF edges..but what can we do for the long edges right next to the panel?

I’ve made 3 out of 6 doors using the loose tenon method, so thank you Peter! Due to variations in thickness (and perhaps a few home workshop tolerance issues…) a few of the rail/stile joints have just a very slight lip - 0.5mm or less - but I’d really like them to be invisible when painted. Any tips? Will just a good sand do the trick, or do I need to fill first, or attack with electric planer etc? Cheers

@10MinuteWorkshop

If it’s only 0.5mm or so then sanding should be OK, just be careful not to be too aggressive with the sander as it’s easy to hollow out the face at the join. Material thicknesses can vary, especially between batches or if bought at different times, so it’s good practice to try and cut the rails and stiles from the same sheet, if possible. 👍👍

The the built in wardrobes are in place but awaiting 4 large doors approximately 700 x 2200mm. I intend to use the floating tenant method .

Hi Mike! Wow, 700mm is a pretty wide door! Biggest I've done is 600 x 2200 with 22/6mm and it was fine. A 9mm panel would certainly give a bit more heft to it. I'd also use a deeper bottom rail, and a mid-rail. I'd have to do the maths on it, but I'd expect 3 hinges to be fine. FYI 18mm MRMDF is 15kg/sq m. Each hinge can take ~5Kg max. Work out the weights pro-rata, and see how many hinges you need. 4 might just be safest anyway! 👍

On a 22mm rail/stile it leaves quite a large lip to the panel; making one side 6/7mm just looks better, and also leaves the other side deeper so that when clients say ' you know I think I'd prefer a 'Victorian' panel door...' you can just flip it over and add some moulding. 👍

Hi Peter. I recently subscribed and enjoying your content, very informative and well produced videos. Would there be any problems making these doors from plywood?

Hi Peter, thanks, and welcome! The issue you’d have with plywoood is finishing the edges - easy enough to edgeband though. 👍👍

Hello Peter, what exactly must I ask for when I hire a router, the bits that go with it? I have 12mm mdf and 6mm for the styles etc. What size should the bit be?

Thanks! For the grooving bit? In the video description 👍👍 Used/featured in this video:- Heavy duty groover - bit.ly/HD_Groover Arcbor for above - bit.ly/Arbor_8

Great video as with all on your channel. Any advise on stopping burning when routing in the slots. Tried cha find speeds and taking smaller cuts but can’t seem to stop the burning?

Thanks! Usually a blunt cutter, or too fast a feed rate? What material is it - MR MDF?

@@10MinuteWorkshop yes using MR MDF. It’s a brand new cutter and router setup so would hope that it isn’t a blunt cutter but will check it out. Very new to woodworking myself. Thanks for the quick reply.

👍👍👍👍👍

Hi Pete, Can i ask your advice. Would this method you went through be OK for doors about 550mm wide by 1200mm high or would the MDF be too weak? I'd of course use three blum hinges for each door

Yes, absolutely. I've made doors 2200mm x 600mm this way, and they're absolutely fine. The key is to use 22mm MR MDF for the rails and stiles - if you use 18mm it's likely to bow over time. On a tall door, also consider a deeper bottom rail, and a mid-rail if it's appropriate. 👍

Great video. I’ve subscribed. I didn’t think PVA alone would hold the trim. I need to make two large wardrobe doors and I’ll try this. Can I ask why you trim to size after gluing and not just make it the right size to start with, or is it just impossible to ever get it bang on that way?

Trimming back to size after the glue-up just ensures that the edges are as clean as possible prior to painting. 👍

Hi Peter I have decided to make some shaker style doors like the ones you made with the loose tenons but I'm finding it difficult to get a router cutter that can cut 18 mm deep like the one you have. I'm wondering if you could let me know the make and number of yours or if you got it on line .I'm in dublin and trend cutters only cut 10 mm deep. I like the larger tenon. Thanks Paul.

Hi Paul. I get mine from Wealden Tool - Heavy duty groover - bit.ly/HD_Groover and you’ll need an arbor for above - bit.ly/Arbor_8 👍👍

Great video Peter. Quick question if I may? I see from the links you're using the Wealden Groover. I'm guessing you're using the 6.35mm cutter? What size bearing guides are you using? I suppose it comes down to ratios of stiles / rails to panel but curious what size you use and if you change them? Cheers Greg

@10MinuteWorkshop

Hi Greg, and thanks! I use whatever bearing comes with the arbor tbh - never changed it. From memory it gives a ~21.5mm deep groove or thereabouts; if I need a shallower fierce I use the fence. 👍👍

Great video, curious why you prefer loose tennon over a domino. They must be a bit of a pain when you come to paint?

@10MinuteWorkshop

Thanks! If you're running a groove to take the panel anyway, it's just a very quick way to do it. If you want to use dominos, then you have to stop the groove either end of the stiles, and depending on the depth of the rails, and the depth of the groove, you may end up not being able to reference off the pins/paddles for the dominos. Painting the loose-tenon doors is easy, and if there's any slight gappiness, it's easily filled. 👍👍

Funny, I've been making doors this morning and here I am, having a cup of coffee, watching a video about making doors! It's an illness. Hodor gag gave me a giggle. You have a great way with these simple instructionals mate. I should take notes for my vids! Did you get my email btw Peter? You interested?
