Make Great Looking Cabinet Doors with Only a Table Saw

[@JohnHeisz]

Cope and stick doors are usually done with a shaper or router bit set, but in this video I show how to do it using just the table saw. Not the fastest or easiest, but certainly doable and the results can be outstanding. See the build article for more details: ibuildit.ca/projects/raised-panel-doors-on-the-table-saw/

😊👍

[@dj-bn1fj]

Thanks John I thought you did one with a cove, I use a 5 inch blade for a narrower cove that a 10 inch blade.

[@2dividedby3equals666]

I always enjoy looking back at the old shop. See what tools are still going and the ones that are gone, the one constant is your ingenuity and outside the box thinking. Thanks for sharing and take care!!

[@donniegaskill1836]

John, my dad and I are not finish carpenters and this is how we made the doors for our cabinets. Yes, it did take a while, but the look was great!!!!

[@WoodUCreate]

Had woodshop in HS back in 1981-82 and although I didn't do cope and stick, I did do the raised panel inserts. I actually got to use a doweling jig and then rabbeted in the back of the door frame a groove for the insert. Then chisel the corners to square them up. Oh how bad I was when I started, yet even to this day still practicing to get better. Surprising how much I got to do back then and in a time today where wood shop has been all but removed from the school system, it is what I "live" for. I love the art of the craft. Thanks, John

This is how you identify with your viewers. Use methods and tools that us commoners have. Everyone doesn't have a top of line CNC table. Excellent work/content.

[@MrJohnnyboyrebel]

John, you method rivals anything done with the expensive router bits. Nicely done!

[@scottsimpey2965]

This was great to see John. I definitely wouldn’t have ever thought to have made doors in that fashion. I’ll have to give that a try the next time I make any cope and stick cabinet doors except I would probably use a tenoning jig of some sort or at the very least attach a piece of plywood or mdf to my fence to make it taller to give more support for the panel and the cuts on the ends. This will definitely make any doors that I do in the future much nicer as I can’t afford nor justify the cost of the router bit set to have for the use for making a door once in a while. The doors that I have made in the past have just had a basic flat panel and the rails and styles have just been connected with either a simple single tongue and groove joint or pocket hole screws. I have learned a lot from your channel over the years of being a subscriber and I am very grateful for all that you have shared and thank you once again for sharing this great tip.

[@rickswartz4651]

it's good to see the shop before a bunch of builds including the saw-this is the method i used for a shop cabinet thanks for the review

[@bradklaatu]

Very well thought out and clever use of the table saw.

[@vfxsoup]

This is why I stay subscribed to this channel, great content, well explained and somehow I feel by learning this I’ve screwed over people selling stuff I don’t need.

[@terristroh3965]

I was once told by an old woodworker that his most versatile power tool was the table saw so much that it was his only power tool. You’ve proved his point today.

[@rickfletcher8389]

Back in time with the old table saw and the tool rack on the back wall…..!!!

[@samspade4634]

Once again, you teach us to think outside the box. The issue I have is that I am nowhere your talent level so it takes me a lot longer to make things, but as always your video's do not disappoint. John, I believe you are one of the most talented on the net regarding woodworking. Thanks for sharing.

[@saveriog.825]

What better way to think outside the box than to build a door? 😜

[@shkhamd]

Damn this is a ninja master class on using table saw for everything you could possibly do with wood working. Please sir, you must pet me 🤩

[@luiscinacio]

John's memories? Always up to date... Greetings from Portugal

[@mrezniable]

Thumb up for preciese and clean cuts. One aditional point for your approach is why here in Europe in home workshoops we mostly have 8mm shaft routers. Big profile router bits requires most powerfull routers with 1/2 chuk.

[@lactobacillusprime]

Wow, those are some profound table saw techniques. True carpentry skills! Kudos!

[@youtukang]

Hiii friend 🤝🤝

[@georgecampbell9251]

Really liked your presentation on making the cabinet doors. I have been casting about for a style to use and yours is just right for my home application. Thanks for the video. Tony

[@JamesDeese]

I would imagine that you are somewhere between Einstien and Hawking on the genius scale! You never cease to amaze me.

[@dakotamax2]

Love the tenon jig, makes me regret installing the Incra TS fence. John, your content continues to inform and entertain. Thanks for keeping it going.

[@1010fairchild]

Precision cutting. Nice.

[@Rewdog3423]

I loved the style of this video, excellent resource on panel making!

[@IEnjoyCreatingVideos]

Nice job on the fancy raised panel door John! Thanks for always sharing with us!💖👍😎JP

[@donaldmumaw]

Look at that beautiful tool wall

[@JohnHeisz]

I know, right? Whatever happened to that...

[@DavidHotrum52114]

this encourages me. I just could not figure out how to cut a panel on my table saw without a router bit. this is cool.

[@KeyBored101]

This is a fantastic tutorial, thank you!

[@WoodandMetalGarage]

there are so many ways to make a cabinet door. i like this one.

[@kcarr1021]

John! Love what you did here! Thank you

[@dougc78]

Very nice. Makes me feel like even I could do this. Thanks for sharing.

[@tbas7161]

2 snaps up in a circle! nice job, as always

[@jaymond80]

This is phenomenal! Thanks John!

[@SteveC38]

Very Nicely Done!

[@madmodders]

Woodworking is obviously good for you. It makes you younger. :D

[@davewilliams6894]

Very nice John

[@VITO-Wood-and-Goods]

Learned a lot! In combination of other technic, a good way to go. Thanks :)

[@TheChoirDirector]

Thanks John, this is awesome!

[@jorgeherrera3554]

Thanks Jhon! That’s door shape looks berry nice Always making a difference 👍

[@francofava8818]

fantastico, muito obrigado por compartilhar esse conhecimento

[@AquaPeet]

This would look awesome as a gift box, having these panels all around! Don't throw your sample in the bin! :)

[@nobuckle40]

I agree that the router bits are super expensive. I guess one would have to way the cost over the use. If I were in the cabinet making business the bits would be the way to go. But not if I'm only going to be making cabinets for my home or shop. The clean crisp look of your method is refreshing. Thanks.

[@terrytopliss9506]

Helpful video John.👍👍

[@BlahBlahManYeah]

Router bits are not only cost factor. Those also need resharpening after 50-100 feet of material depending on thickness those had to work on, so unless you keen with resharpening those and then dial all back. Table saw is more efficient all around.

[@ebbios]

Thanks John. Your the best

[@youtukang]

*EXCELLENT* 😍

[@SeahawkSailor]

Very nice! Thank you!

[@iMakeFunnier]

Very nice! What happened to the table saw you built?

[@aaudain1]

Great idea 👍😎🤚

[@vladtepes97]

Was this video about the panel door construction or about the shop in the background? I ask because we saw more of the latter than the former.

[@JimDockrellWatertone]

Pretty ingenious. I wouldn't have figured that out.

[@Gus0046]

Buen trabajo te quedo perfecto. 👍

[@jofloresz]

Great teacher

[@MCsCreations]

You're getting younger every time, John. (Yeah, I know... Sorry 😬) Anyway, thanks for all the tips! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@usaf4dbt]

Thank You.

[@spencerbass7142]

It looks great.

[@KrahsThe]

How did you end up finishing them? Just a shellac?

[@laroseauxboisrosewoodwoodw8585]

Thx to put it here , it will help ppl to do it another way then with hand tools or router bits 👍🏼🇨🇦 But when was this recorded your table saw and your shop is not the same ? 😁😜

[@sj6404]

GREAT vid!

[@dj-bn1fj]

John didn't you do one using a table saw to do a cove panel? If not could you cover this in a video please as I like doing cove cuts on a table saw vs using a router because it is faster and safer. IMO

[@virtualfather4117]

Too cool for school!!!

[@pauca2014]

Nice method, but hard for me to understand the different views of the drawing. Which part is which view. The 12 degrees angle on your drawing I don't understand. is that the raised panel? it doesn't mention those details. I miss the extra front view from the frame too, since I don't see the side-bevel on the rail board. I think it would help to make close up pics from different sides since its easy to make mistakes which side to cut to what angle. The complicated part is the corner cuts of the top and bottom rails. I need to see how it looks like from all angles including on the back.

[@binnsbrian]

Excellent.

[@tylerdesper9226]

John is that a custom built fence?

[@dpmeyer4867]

Thanks

[@baconsoda]

I will never do this but it was really interesting.

[@alfredozavala9753]

Excelente ejemplo 👌

[@wobblysauce]

Yep, for a one-off it does take a bit longer... but as you say if you are making a number of them it is just 4 more passes per item per step.

[@redKnight1992]

Really like the style of build - Not everyone's got a router table at home (i.e. me), so thanks for sharing this method! IMHO it also looks better than the "standard" routed parts... By the way: quick question, how old is this video? No only is the quality way below what we've seen for a while, but also the audio is kinda dull...

[@irakopilow4492]

I don't totally agree with you when you said it was a fairly labor intensive way to make these doors vs. the router bit set. I have done the cope and stick bit set, and unless you dedicate 3 routers to the process, you still need to do an extraordinary amount of fiddling and calibration. I really like what you have done here.

[@JohnHeisz]

Good point.

[@craigsudman4556]

Nice cabinet door for a Hobbit. Great video John, thumbs up.

[@ralph5450]

Well that's just adoorable.

Nice video John! A bit of a throwback to old times. When did you film this? That tenon jig looks very handy for scary people like me :)

Why, you don't need them?

[@SuperJimmyBennett]

@@KipdoesStuff because a man has to have his tools.. I like tools. So what is the name of the bits then? I care less if they be 100 bucks a piece

is this a throwback vid or the magic of hair dye?

This looks like an older video. That's definitely not the tablesaw you made.

I think editing and lighting are a big part of that, already pretty solid here, but the newer videos just move to whole another level.
