2 Ways to Make Shaker Style Doors // Kitchen Remodel Part 1

[@simpleyeteffective233]

You made this so approachable!

[@MedicYoda]

Oh man this video is awesome. After I build saw table, I want to make new doors like these. So glad I found your videos. Continued watching and now I have to make a router table also.

[@woodpackdiy]

Glad you like them!

[@ShayanTaheripoor]

You are truly a master. Good job.

[@DyslexicLunatic]

Very thorough explanation of the steps in the process. Thank you.

[@woodpackdiy]

Glad it was helpful!

[@macramemomentsmore195]

Nice new look! Bob Barker is such a cute supervisor!

[@kathleenp9643]

Wow! Great job! I love Bob Barker!! 💗

[@csimet]

Nice overview and well done job. A tip I stumbled upon... if you cut your rails & stiles about 1/8-1/4" wider than finished size and your stiles that much longer, you can assemble them, wait for the glue to dry and then run them through the table saw to remove about 1/16-1/8" per side. Not only does this perfectly cleanup the edges of any glue squeeze out and/or slight assembly mismatches, but also make sure they are perfectly square and parallel.

[@woodpackdiy]

Good tip!

[@AlexB-hp3dj]

I seen other shaker door videos but you gave other information that others did not touch on.Thanks for your time.

[@patrickarchuleta9594]

Your work is second to none may God continue to bless you and your family outstanding job.

[@drew1072]

Looks really nice! Great job! Good job keeping an eye on the project, Bob Barker

[@mikeleo5180]

Hi good i am from trinidad and tobago i like the finish kitchen😮

[@martyorcutt3752]

I want that cute dog....I DID this last year with my bathroom cabinets...never knew I could watch a KZbin on it...Mine came out o.k. but I wish I had some guidance...thank you for your video.

[@sevenohnine]

Good job! The finished kitchen looks great! Happy wife, happy life!

Terrific job!

[@nerytorres]

Very helpful video Thank you 🙏

[@p.j.miller2920]

the only thing better than the cabinets is your t-shirt. I love it

[@woodpackdiy]

Thanks!

[@micmike]

Nice work thanks

[@thehawkc]

Great job !

[@woodpackdiy]

Thanks!

[@richardrodgers1883]

Very good set of videos and great work and final products. But one thing I have learned from them is that YOU NEED MORE CLAMPS!!!

[@woodpackdiy]

I absolutely agree with that

[@aleciomora184]

Good work 👏

[@LoveItDirtyOffroad]

Whoa. Lotta work

[@terry7893]

Grreat job, and what a nice set up you have! You must do this professionally since you have all those fancy tools.

[@woodpackdiy]

Thanks, and no, this is not my profession. I work full time in the medical field. I build my setup over time and have videos for it all on my channel.

[@richardmiller191]

Great video thanks for posting it. Lot of things I wouldn't have thought of that are great ideas. I haven't started mine yet but I'm glad I saw your vid before I started. Very thorough.

[@davidndahura7437]

Good work, however a router table is still a game changer in any shop, but I have seen your idea of a locally built router table and its doing the job better than professional router tables, exactly who supplied you with the parts and components looks a cheaper version of owning one, woodworking is sweet when you are applying specialised mechanism for special tasks, you made many doors with a router table and very fast unlike the dado stack, it delays the process and you should be experienced to manage its application, wonderful video have taken lessons, I thank you. Cheers.

[@helengibson8196]

Wow! You are a true craftsman. Thanks for sharing but I think I'll be going with the glue and brads 😄

[@marikiemarie7622]

Lots of work for a very subtle difference. But it does look nice. I just cut 1/4 thick 3inch wide mdf and glued and Brad nailed it on. Did 34 doors in a weekend and added 30k to my home. Spent just over $80 on that plus paint .

[@billjonesnation]

Great work

[@MrBriangardiner]

Very good well done

[@andrewhochberger8748]

Great job. See what happens when there’s good supervision.

[@nouphetsaengvilay5030]

I would do tighter gaps between doors, so build each door just a bit bigger. However looks nice, mate.

[@MP-yz6sb]

I too have been wanting to do this but I don't have all those tools. I have thought about buying a table saw. I admit a lot of the layout/steps was a bit over my head. My fear is I start and I have an expensive hot mess on my hands. Bob Barker makes the best supervisor.

[@woodpackdiy]

The biggest key is patience. And I know sometimes that is definitely easier said than done

[@jodievance3243]

I love all your tips and tricks on how to keep things uniform, every step of the way. What size should the gap be between each door drawer and should that be the same spacing on the outside edges as well?

[@woodpackdiy]

Glad it was helpful! For the gaps on the drawers, it really depends on your individual taste. For this one I kept them as they were previously. In general I like a much tighter gaps (usually about 1/8 inch). for the doors, the gap between the 2 is 1/8. I do not keep the gaps the same as between the doors and the outer edges, I dont feel that it makes an aesthetic difference.

[@vernakerney914]

Very nice video. I’m going to find a new friend to do those cuts for me for a fee of course. Lol

[@shotparrot]

Thanks for sharing! Personally I've been going through all the youtube videos on making shaker kitchen cabinet doors that I can. I just got a beautiful new Sawstop Contractor saw, so excited to put it to work on a major project! Def. going to use the table saw option you shared, not the router option ;) I appreciate especially your tips for 1. use maple, not poplar for the busy kitchen environment 2. Caulk the inside seems so there's no gaps that I wouldn't see until after they're installed haha. Cheers.

[@woodpackdiy]

Glad it was helpful!

[@blt981]

Hey wood brother was going to buy a Sawstop Saw..Don’t know what to buy it’s $ but wanna make a smart move. I’m on Cal coast where and what did you buy. Hope you get back..

[@shotparrot]

@@blt981 I'm up in Washington. Both Woodcraft and Rockler are great stores to buy from; I ended up buying from Woodcraft, but they're both identical in service/price as far as I could see. I bought the Contractor saw with the 36" T-glide fence. It's been great and I recommend. It was a stretch for my budget, but a great investment. Good luck!

[@blt981]

@@shotparrot Thank you much for your advice and responding..I’m really new at this , retired 65 wanna build stuff with hands now. Intimidating , soo much out there, I’d rather ask other wood workers. Its like a big club, guys seem to enjoy helping, sharing . We really need that now in US too much division….my 85 yr old neighbor gave his Delta saw 3hp 220 pro model , to the new young family neighbor who would mowed his lawn for him. He worked on projects in the driveway with his 2 little boys. I think it’s cool, he told me we need to pass on old ways of repair and home projects to young generation. The young neighbor refused at first , but I told him the it’s elderly neighbor who is honered to pass it on , he has no children. He finally accepted.

[@shotparrot]

@@blt981Aww what a great story. Glad to help! Also keep in mind the 36" version is actually about 70" wide, so be sure to measure your space to make sure it'll fit, if that's an issue. Personally I'm going to cut down my rails/saw to about 66", so it fits in my utility workshop room off of the main garage. Doing some pre-planning for your shop area is important.

[@AKendall808]

Nice work! We are in the process of a big renovation and coming soon is an entire kitchen build as well as vanities for the two additional bathrooms and maybe even built ins for our walk-in closets. Shaker is definitely our choice so I've been cruising videos such as yours for inspirations. Just curious... how much money do you think you saved vs buying from any of the big box stores? I know kitchen cabinets can really shoot for the moon as far as price goes. Was wondering if you happened to work the numbers. Thank!

[@MarceneiroFDS]

Very detailed and nice video. Thanks! Just wonder how Bob Barker at the end (min 17) looks at the camera while you talk? loved it!

[@woodpackdiy]

Thanks! Bob Barker does really well when we ask him to focus on us. And if that fails, holding a treat up next to the camera will always get his undivided attention, lol.

[@MarceneiroFDS]

@@woodpackdiywish my Snoopy (Yorkshire) was like that! lol They are the best!

[@_Rikk_]

thanks for sharing it looks great ....

[@woodpackdiy]

Thanks!

[@eduardoadame815]

really nice project but i do not own all those tools but nice technique and commitment good work!

[@markchristman1076]

Very nice!!! Do you have a router table build?

[@woodpackdiy]

sure do. kzbin.info/aero/PLE5YIqxES5j_55XExxu7GjYpqAMAqR7Dg

[@makingmoves6741]

nice home 🏡

[@jscook54]

Looks awesome! Good job.

[@woodpackdiy]

Thanks!

[@xsandmanx187]

Looks great. Thinking about doing the same but i don’t have any of these tools. Guess I need to invest in table saw, miter and a router. Any suggestions, esp since I might be one in done and might not use them for awhile after that?

[@enchantedmountain5354]

Thanks for sharing, did you build your router table?

[@woodpackdiy]

Yes I did. kzbin.info/aero/PLE5YIqxES5j_55XExxu7GjYpqAMAqR7Dg

[@christiancarfann]

Can you use 1/4 shank bits?

[@kevinb6102]

Nice!!!!!!!

[@woodpackdiy]

Thanks!!

[@BrettsWoodshop]

Hi Anthony. I like the way you explain things! Just subbed.

[@nastyku]

What type of paint did you use? I'm in the process of building these and just realized the finish of my mdf panel may look different than my wood frame.

[@woodpackdiy]

Sherwin williams emerald Urethane enamel. color was swiss coffee

[@jimgreenhouse214]

I am thinking of doing this too. Are the new shaker doors the exact dimensions as the doors coming off?

[@woodpackdiy]

yeah, I made them the same size as the old doors

[@ivanviveros8848]

I NEVER CAULK TRHEM CAUSE WOOD EXPANDS AND CONTRACT AND I'M PRETTY SURE IT WLL CRACK LATER DOWN THE RD.

[@marcelo403polo2]

100% it will. Matter of few months.

[@truthserum5202]

I would recommend not using a water based primer. Use Zinsser BIN shellac based primer and you won't have an issue with the grain raising. Particularly with MDF panels. You will want to match that primer with the appropriate paint. Sherwin William's Emerald works fantastic with the BIN primer and creates a really good smooth and durable finish.

[@susanc1179]

This video is very helpful! Would you mind sharing what size straight bit you used for the drawers & how long we should leave the clamps on for the glue to dry? I’m not sure how many long clamps I have so I can probably only do a couple of doors at a time.

[@daronhaboian9408]

Great video! What caulk are you using? I would love to do that sealing method

[@woodpackdiy]

Doesn't really matter which one you use, as long as its paintable.

[@SquareRootOfMinus1]

Hey Wood Pack - I’m not clear on why you caulked (DAP) the door-to-panel joint ? Was it on the inside of the cabinet only ? Certainly the MDF panel won’t shrink. So, perhaps I missed some detail. Thanks so much for the vid. Great work.

[@woodpackdiy]

I do that because there is a slight gap/line visible in the joint otherwise. This way it just looks cleaner after its painted.

[@jack91522]

How did you apply the polyurethane?

[@Karma-fp7ho]

That’s a big project. Thanks for the video. How much would it cost to Get those made ?

[@woodpackdiy]

I am not sure. I only do woodworking as my hobby and not as a profession. Not sure how much the labor costs would be for someone to make it.

[@allanerz]

@@woodpackdiy all these materials, machines are just for hobby? I thought you have all that for business. that's alot of carpentry skills.

[@dannyh.7490]

As a cabinet maker I've found its cheaper to outsource your doors, especially when you have as many as you had to do on this job.

[@woodpackdiy]

That was a lot of doors. Build time can definitely play a huge part in cost effectiveness especially when its a business and not just a hobby

[@liquidscor00]

On the paint booth, is the fan pushing air in or out?

[@woodpackdiy]

out

[@KennyX1967]

How much did all the supplies cost?

[@Stevesbe]

All those tools and no track saw ? Especially With only a job table saw

[@aquahealer]

Job well done, but most of us are trying to complete the job in just a few hours, and avoid a month long project

[@shoey64]

How long did that process take from start to finish? Looks great 👍.

[@woodpackdiy]

Thanks! Since I have a full time job aside from these projects, I can only do a little at a time. I did this bit by bit over a few weeks.

[@spambox7397]

congratulations on the weight loss

[@jasseyjefferr7787]

1:38 i thought you were adjusting your wrist length with that camera angle

[@woodpackdiy]

Lol, that does look sketchy from that angle

[@anonimushbosh]

What's the reason you didn't just use door sized MDF sheets with MDF rails/stiles glued/screwed on? That'd look the same, be cheaper, at least as strong and take a fraction of the time. You could even get all the cuts done where you buy the MDF, often for free.

[@woodpackdiy]

Doing them with all MDF can be a good option depending on the project/budget. But for this project I don't think it would have been a better option. The hard maple rails and styles give a lot more strength and resistance to damage compared to the MDF, and constructed this way, the doors will last longer given the heavy use/abuse in a kitchen.

[@anonimushbosh]

@@woodpackdiy What on earth are you doing to your cabinets if they suffer that much abuse? I'd say the only reason to do it your way is when a perfectly smooth edge is required but that's a helluva lot of extra work for such a questionable benefit.

[@quentinfitzgerald3305]

NO need to worry about Bob Barkers lungs then

[@woodpackdiy]

I do. He's actually not out with me most of the time when I'm cutting things. Most of the time when its dusty he is inside the house keeping his momma company.

[@angelesfraga4451]

Please be careful when using your miter saw... the first cut you made, your left hand was pretty close to the blade... It seemed like you were going to cut yourself by your wrist because you were, maybe, in an incorrect position for cutting... You must keep a safe distance from it. Beside that... I have to say I really like your videos, that have been pretty much helpful for myself designing my own projects and the method to build them.

[@woodpackdiy]

I noticed how it looked when I was editing the video. It looks way closer than it was. Its a bit of an optical illusion because of the camera angle on that shot. That being said, I agree, always need to be super careful and mindful of the blades!

[@lunchlady2023]

Please don’t. I came for blood.

[@Pinchshot39]

Can I borrow your tools?

[@GoodWillLee]

Wow you convinced me not to try this myself!

[@woodpackdiy]

not the response I was going for

[@markied2873]

Why are they called shaker?

[@ferdiellopez]

Don’t cross arm when cutting on the miter saw. That’s bad practice, unsafe. Please .

[@Makoonga]

Don't say these ones. Say these.

[@Romans_116]

Great job!
