DIY 4 Panel wooden Door, part 4. raised panel cutting with a straight router

[@WhippyEU]

You know, I've been looking for hours for someone who does this. Fantastic video. I've got 10 doors in my house with glass in that I want to replace with wood.

[@wingmanalive]

Wow. All this to avoid buying a raised panel bit set? Good tutorial. Most would assume though that anyone into woodworking has a shaper and the bits for jobs like this. No harm in showing us how it's done without thought. Good job!

[@shaunmcwilliam]

wow, I applaud your creativity in finding a way to make the flat bit work so well! A creative jig that worked perfectly.

[@idostuffcouk]

Thanks Wingman. The other advantage of the technique is that your not stuck with profiles of the dedicated bits. If the design calls for steeper angle or longer profile it can be done. Cheers

[@gizmobently]

Great job. Excellent pre-planning and very innovative thinking skills. If you aren't a carpenter, then you have excellent hand skills for a beginner. I found it quite interesting doing what you did with what you had. Excellent.

[@idostuffcouk]

You are right. The panels could have fitted in a groove. The design could be adapted to do that. However because I was using the big mouldings, that do the job, I choose to cut out that step and simplify the job. Cheers.

[@idostuffcouk]

@TrojanWarrior74 Cheers, and thanks for the question. It's questions that give me the chance to explain where I'm coming from. I know I take a bit different approach from many and it's not always clear in the video why I done things a particular way.

[@idostuffcouk]

I only had these two pannel to do at the time so it never crossed my mind. With a bit of thought I could come up with a clever adjustable jig although the simplest way would be to fit packers under the back to change the angle.

[@idostuffcouk]

@odmcarp, Thanks. You're right it's a low cost DIY solution, it takes longer than using standard bits. To get the size I wanted would have needed custom cutters on a spindle moulder, out of the question for me with such small quanities. It's a alternative technique that gets the job done proving you don't always to spend to get results. I hadn't really thought about it being safer, but guess you right, less can go pear shaped with a smaller cutter in the hands of the less experienced. Cheers.

Hay, that looks like my bridgewood sliding router table. Well done.

[@davidndahura7437]

Using skill and tools within means of reach to make what others would apply specific tools to have, this helps in cost cutting for bigger results.

[@idostuffcouk]

Thanks for the comment. Yes there are bits available, and it would be simpler to use one. The downside of bought bits is you are restricted to the profiles they manufacture and for one off jobs the cost is prohibitive. Using this technique allows you to design the profile for the job and not the other way round and it's basically free. Cheers

[@joeborgesmedia2982]

I always love do it yourself videos!

[@neilw4881]

Nice job and very clever. Thanks for sharing👍

[@erok68]

Woow👌🏻 your work is inspirational and helpful 😊

[@charlesgonzalez8112]

you make things look easy my friend Great job

[@BrokenRRT]

Awesome work! If you were near me in the US I would hire you to make my new doors for our home.

[@idostuffcouk]

@blzbub1 , You're quite right it would be easier to just buy a door. I always look at this kind of thing as a balance between time and money. If I can put the time in I don't need the money. Using £250 as a start, I would have to earn around £360 before tax. Buying an imported door at £250 minus VAT, distributor, shipping etc. might only be worth £100. I'm not sure where I'm going with this but It's a thought anyway.

[@SiliconeSalad]

Thank you very much for your vid. I just wanted to say that there is a router bit that does that shape all in one pass. No need to jig (even though your jig is cool). Would help you get quite a few doors done much faster. Thanks again

[@a2zhandi]

good points. But you missed one. I find that the longer you think about a project, the better, and easier it becomes. Build it on paper, a computer, and or in your head many times. Then when the actual build comes, it's gravy train~! IMHO of course :-P Nice job on the demo & project by the way.

[@idostuffcouk]

Hi Graeme, The link in the description take you to iDoStuff home page. click on "Making a front door, a step by step, how to guide" Then "Part 6", It's not a full set of plans but it explains / shows it more detail so you should be a able to knock a jig together that does the same thing but for the angle and size that you need. Cheers

[@idostuffcouk]

@lapispinoza , DOH... never mind the technique will come in handy if you ever want to do a "non standard" profile.

[@idostuffcouk]

@HoundmanV, All the best for your replacement door project and It's good to hear you are getting back in to some woodworking. Making a door can sound a bit daunting but when you tackle it one step at a time, there's nothing difficult about it. Have you seen the full details on link in the description It'll be good to hear how you get on.

[@onedayillpay]

Fantastic joint, I wish I seen this when I glued boards together for a table... no need for a biscuit jointer

[@idostuffcouk]

@bzarmy, It's likely that you'll get marks for how well you can plan the job, drawings are to pass the course not make the door. It's a skill you might need in the future and comes in handy for more complex jobs: to workout materials, to present a design, to workout how to make it, to explain how it should be made (others might be making parts of it). In a commercial situation you could need these kind of skills to take a step up from the shop floor. Get as many skills as you can. Good luck.

[@a2zhandi]

I do custom work. It's ALL new for me. Some people are impatient. And wonder why I haven't started yet. Little do they know, I have hours in it already. Thanks

[@TheBrick2]

Simple but effective and. Thank for posting. Given me more ideas!

[@idostuffcouk]

Thank G19, Sorry to get you cringing. I do use a push stick when I'm pushing close towards a blade or cutter. The camera angle sometimes makes my hands look a bit close. Cheers

[@idostuffcouk]

El ángulo puede ser cualquiera para adaptarse a su diseño. Estos fueron unos 10 grados. Usted está resticted por el diseño de la cuchilla. Sentimos la traducción no funciona en su segunda pregunta "fresas"? Gracias por su atención, espero que esto ayude.

[@andrij66]

I like the trend of thought in this, & here in America 3-4 years ago this is very true, but I've noticed something with folding doors, they used to be made out of solid pine, then that press board stuff, now they make it out of cardboard for $47-$80. (Because the corporation know they'll stick ya for it) For cardboard!!!! Not including the cheap hardware at about $8... Now I like wood, in fact I also like things made right too, & by your reasoning, it will equal out to a "Real" door.

[@idostuffcouk]

Ah that's clearer, if you can explain what you think makes it awful it might add a bit more to the discusion.

[@nicksainsbury7152]

thats a lot of work but great jig. how do you cope with different thickness panels etc which will alter angle. does it mean making new jig everytime?

[@Volganin]

I like your channel alot

[@steinie44]

Nice router jig.

[@idostuffcouk]

Goegraphically fairly close (especially compared to USA distances) but very different. It'll be Derbyshire you are picking up on, specifically NE Derbyshire, even though most round here think I talk a bit posh. We are just over the Pennies from Manchester and close to Sheffield, Yorkshire but the accents are quite different.

[@feiyin8518]

It really hard work, what i suggest is that we can buy the beautiful one.

[@joseantoniomorenomorales5047]

me gusta ver todos los videos acerca de trabajos con madera y las técnicas que usan, muy originales...

[@idostuffcouk]

Good idea, I could put together a galley on the iDostuff site

[@idostuffcouk]

That's certainly true, especially when it's something new for you. I spend a good while thinking is the best, easiest, way of achieving the results I'm after with the resources I have. This process gives me a vision of the result then it's just a case of carrying out the steps I've imagined. Sometimes when the results aren't critical its fun to dive and see what happens just for a a bit variety eg. Two Wheel Tractor but thats a totally different kind of project

[@graemeross4383]

Nice work with the router, do you have plans for the jig as it is some thing that I would like to try build. I make some of my raised panel doors with the table saw and I have a set of router bits for raised panel doors but what you have done with a straight router bit is really cool.

[@idostuffcouk]

@TrojanWarrior74, If I was making a lot of these panels, if I could find one with the profile and depth I wanted, if I could justify the cost then I would buy a raised panel bit. But as none of the above applies I can get the results I'm after with the tools and equipment I've got. The only real alternative would be a spindle moulder with custom tooling, but instead of just dreaming I can actually get on and make what I want. Spending money doesn't have to be the only option.

[@Phishboy26]

You need to use a panel raising bit set. You didnt even show us how you prepared the surfaces of the wood with a table saw, planer, and jointer. Cheers

[@abssabirin3205]

nice work i admire

[@idostuffcouk]

Have a look at the iDoStuff site (link in the video description - the page you need is the last step of "Making a front door, a step by step, how to guide") It should explain it all. If not give me another shout and I'll try and explain.

[@osvaldosoto3119]

esta buenisimo me podrias pasar los angulos que le diste a la inclinacion de la plantilla? y que fresas ocupas? desde ya muchas gracias

[@danielredondo1090]

muy buen video saludos cordiales

[@shitina9419]

why done it with the cnc router machine ,and can change the bit tool for different effect

[@erniezamora9509]

what kind of angle is on the wood base you place the panel thank you is really nice....

[@idostuffcouk]

+Ernie Zamora You can have it at any angle, that's one of the benefits over standard raised panel router cutters. I think mine was about 15 degrees to give the length of bevelled section I wanted with the available height.

[@idostuffcouk]

+Ernie Zamora. It might have been 10 degrees. More important to me was the depth and then length in proportion to the size of the panels. You can make the angle to suit the visual proportions you want.

@ 3:30 Your tape messed up? Do you mean you messed up using the tape?

[@idostuffcouk]

No. It was the video tape that didn't record properly. "Eee those where t' days" The camera packed in totally soon after recording these.

[@exilfromsanity]

[@florinprodan5249]

great detail.

[@idostuffcouk]

@Phishboy26 ,Thanks for commenting, but I think you missed the point. This shows how you can make raised panels without buying expensive bits and to cut profiles to your own specifications. I try to be specific in each video, concentrating on a particular process. If you want details about initial preparation of the timber, have a look here on the idostuff.co.uk website or click the link the video description- Cheers

[@rpet47]

my bad..i watched your video and commented without even reading the other posts...i was glad to see others with the same observations. I'm not a hater my friend..i'm just a guy that thinks if your going to post a how to video for the whole world to see..either you or the guy posting it..somebody needs to pass the pipe. it would be different if you were showing how to fluff a pillow..maybe you should consider that.

[@evefox4275]

I'm sure you could make an excellent DIY video.

[@idostuffcouk]

Thanks Robert for your inputs. As you first comment starts by calling me an idiot you might be surprised that I've not deleted your comments and have actually bothered to respond. Yes, when using tools you should be aware of potential dangers and guard against them. If you are not confident using such equipment with an acceptable level of safety you need to re-think what you are planning to do. This applies to all activities you may choose to do, always check pillow seams before fluffing and wear a dust mask during fluffing in case of bursting.

[@yopage]

WEEEE careful--watch those fingers on the table saw!!! Nice way to knock out some doors. Still a lot of work, doors always are, but worth it with nice wood.

[@mattcross3194]

I thought the panels were supposed to sit in a rebate inside the frame of the door traditional, rather than just putting beading on to hold the panels

[@idostuffcouk]

Hi Matthew, Using a moulding in this case a "bolection" molding is a less common way of holding panels in but not unheard of. The website goes in to more detail.

[@gary24752]

what glue are you using?

[@idostuffcouk]

+gary24752 . At 1:23 "polyurethane adhesive"

[@hinduspl]

iDoStuff can I ask whats angle is there at this jig base? Im working on my own jig based on your video. Thanks

[@idostuffcouk]

You can have it at any angle, that's one of the benefits over standard raised panel router cutters. I think mine was about 15 degrees to give the length of bevelled section I wanted with the available height.

[@idostuffcouk]

Thanks Shaggyone, you beat me to it. He's now banned and the comment deleted. I'll not delete any real criticism, its adds to our collective knowledge. But abuse like his is worthless.

[@dreamwisperer]

whats the diff between the usual wood glue and the polyurethane wood glue?

[@idostuffcouk]

The polyurethane stuff uses moisture as a catalyst to start the curing process. First it foams up a bit and forces good contact with all the joint surfaces. Then after 10 or 30 mins it starts to harden up properly. It keeps a good deal of flexibility when cured so copes well with differential expansion and contraction. You real have to give it a go to experience the benefits. It does have some downsides compared to PVA glues, speed of working, cleaning up etc. but I Iike the way it performs.

[@dreamwisperer]

hm thank's a lot for your very explanatory reply.I will definately give it a try.Do you suggest a specific brand? For silicones I usual prefer Bison.But I saw that they do offer PU wood glues as well!

[@blzbub1]

While it's nice to have the traditional skills, the World is now a different place and it's impossible to compete commercially with the far eastern door factories, where they churn out a raised panel door in minutes. I guess you would have paid about 50 quid for the timber, plus the best part of 2 days work for machining and assembly and if you value your time at around 100 quid a day, it makes that an expensive door. Sad that bespoke joinery is going down the tubes like so many other industries
