Can I ask what thickness you make your shaker doors and how do you joint them, with lose tendons the thickness of your panel or with dominos

@@anthonymcroberts2760 Hi Anthony. These particular ones are 25mm as it's an in frame job, but for lay on I'd use 22mm as it saves using the special thick door hinges. I do the doors a few different ways. I've started doing the odd job on the CNC as one piece doors, but I'm still quite new to that and refining things a bit, as for a start it was taking me longer to sand them than make a traditional 5 piece. For 5 piece doors I'll either groove on the spindle moulder and cut a stubb tenon on the tenoner, or groove the ends of the rails and use a loose tenon into the stile groove. I haven't really got a preference for either for painted work (prefer a stubb tenon for solid wood stuff that's getting a clear coat). Mostly it's down to if the tenoner is set up for another job and I don't want to reset it. I use a 9mm panel in a 22mm door and a 12mm in a 25mm door. Hope that is some help, thanks.

@carpentryjoineryandcabinet6335 Thanks for that, I was just curious to see how you did your doors but it turns out we do them the same way, I tend to use 22mm material and have a 9mm groove cutter set up permanently and I have test blocks one for centering the cutter for 22mm door stock and one for giving me 10mm margin to the underside of draw bottoms. If I'm using mdf it's loose tendons and glue the panel aswell, for timber I tend to opt for domino's now and don't run the groove to the ends of the stiles. Carry on with the videos as your content is excellent.

Cheers mate, I don't think I'll ever go viral as it's all a bit super niche 😂😂. But hopefully for the people who are interested in that kind of thing it might be useful 🤷🏻‍♂️. I am trying to post a bit more, but I'm always so pushed for time to get jobs out I always think "I'll film the next one" and then never do 😂😂
