This is, by far, the best video I've ever seen for constructing doors. Excellent. Keep on going !!!!!

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

Thank you so much for your kind words. Your support is appreciated.

[@markanthony9506]

Awesome work! Thank you for helping us learn the tricks of the trade!

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

Thank you very much Mark...I really appreciate your comment...thats what keeps me going. :))

[@YESSLEEP42]

They look great Wes!

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

Thank you very much.

[@OleGit1497]

Very nice work. I now know how I will make a frame for a mirror. I can also use this idea to make nice picture frames.

[@willmen08]

This was great, thank you. I've seen profiles similar to this and have been baffled how they do it, and now I have a better understanding of it. Thanks again!

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

Glad it was helpful....thanks for visiting the channel. Wes

[@CBBC435]

Pretty doors.

[@eddiegiovanniello4346]

Great content Wes. thank you.

[@richardconley3343]

Awesome job...

[@jimmys511]

Wow practical and obtainable without router bits

[@willmen08]

But he did use router bits. That's how he got the bead and ogee profiles.

[@squeekhobby4571]

Excellent

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

Thank you very much! I appreciate you visiting my channel. Wes

[@danbirch8939]

Great ideas, Wes! I’m surprised you never checked it with a square…

[@brendancarpenter9082]

Outstanding instruction!

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

Thank you very much 😀

[@jontelmurphy5996]

What is the stain color on those doors, i love it

[@MNnytrorider]

Again another great video Wes! May I ask how did you learn how to do all this? Did you work with someone in your younger days? Looks like a fun way to make a living.

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

I started as a full time cabinet maker 45 years ago and have learned my craft under several masters along the way. I have enjoyed every minute of it and looking forward to the next 45 years haha. Thank you again. :)) I really appreciate your feedback.

[@stevennachlas9596]

Beautiful door, Wes and great video! Just curious if you ever use band clamps or merle clamps such as MLCS carries.

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

Hi Steve...I have never used them but I appreciate your comment. That's a great alternative. Thank you. Wes

[@rothfam55]

Wes, I love the doors. I have a few questions. 1. On the first door you build, what is the material width and thickness (3/4 x 2 1/2?)? 2. Where is the panel grooved positioned on the rail/style? Looks like about 1/8" from the back? 3. How much of a reveal is on the inner face of the bevel? Looks like about 1/8? Thanks for any help. Great videos!

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

Hi...glad you enjoyed my video. The frame is 13/16" x 3". The panel groove is 1/4" wide with a 3/8" face reveal and the remaining 3/16" on the back side of the door. Hope this help. Thank you so much for visiting.

[@rothfam55]

@@WoodworkingWithWes Thanks for the reply. If my router bit comes in today, i'll be building a trial door tomorrow!

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

@@rothfam55 Good luck!! Hope it goes well...don't hesitate if you have more questions. Thanks.

[@vick5282]

Great video, but wanted to ask you use space balls for your inside panels?

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

I use them for solid wood panels only. Thanks for your comment and visiting my channel.

[@TheBkdot]

Any reason why you'd use a miter sled instead of a miter saw?

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

Yes...I miter sled is a more accurate and smoother cut. Thanks for watching.

[@bombpatrick8950]

Can we use a router table to do the beads?

[@willmen08]

Absolutely! I did it last night! you'll have to push the wood through on its side rather than face down. Try it on a test piece.

[@dougeing6521]

What species of wood are you using for this project?

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

I am using alder...thanks for watching. Wes

[@halima_mohammed]

Hi Wes, this video is amazing! Did the client also request Alder? What color stain did you use on the client’s door?

[@adamchesis7443]

I've got a bunch of those routers, too bad they stopped making them typical bad decision from a corporation

[@heruvey87]

I learned the "glue line" trick from Ramon Valdez @ramonartful

[@whitneybrown2245]

Hello any reason why you hand routed the long boards instead running across the router table?

[@TheChauffeur69]

I was wondering that too. I'm guessing he was trying to demonstrate the technique using only tools one is more likely to have, which I appreciated (I don't have a router table - yet).

[@amanoos]

I love this video. Very informative and Wes is very good at explaining and simplifying this complex subject. It gives me confidence in tackling my own diy projects on cabinets door.

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

Glad it was helpful! Thank you very much !

[@bijan4727]

Hello Wes. Like always you pulled an ace. I always wondered how those kind of drawers were done. Thanks for teaching us. Now , I have a question. couldn’t you have done those cuts on a table saw ? I appreciate your input.

[@JorgePerez-sw9rt]

My friend, you are such a lifesaver with this video!! Thank you so much for sharing some knowledge

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

So glad that I was able to help. Keep an eye out for future videos and if you have a request, please let us know. Thank you very much.

[@philip1091]

Corner blocks and a ratchet strap is a much easier way to glue up mitered doors.

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

Thanks for your suggestion...yes it is another way to glue up mitered doors. Wes

[@patrickarchuleta9594]

On the first 2 doors you showed us what color of stain are these may God Almighty continue to bless you and your family great work second to none .Bottom

[@brianinsko5176]

The only thing I would change here is using reverse cove 1/2" thick solid center panel...

[@yanagild]

Thank you! Amazing tutorial and a lot of useful tips

[@ericbumgarner882]

Wes you are the best teacher. thanks!!

[@kr5289]

curious as to why you don't use a router table.

[@alancroft6928]

Very nice. Thank you.

[@alece9697]

Do you buy any chance have a video on the stain and glaze process you used to finish this project? I love it! I have a basic understanding of how to do it with paints from your cerusing videos but it's new to me with stain....

[@patrickknapp8539]

Agreed I want to do the same stain and glaze

[@essendavis]

Nice. I bet a domino in each corner would be so fast to add and also provide alot of Additional strength since that is an end grain gluing... and have an additional benefit of making those quicker to assemble and clamp up.

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

Great suggestion...thanks for watching. Wes

[@WasBlind_NowISee]

Hes like the father some of us wish we had growing up. Teaches you without yelling and hitting but being interested and motivated to teach you instead.

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

Thank you for the very nice compliment. Glad my videos have been helpful...thanks for watching, Wes

[@mattspry8576]

Great work!!! Can you list what size router bits you used? Also, what's the thickness of your material?

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

Hi... I used a 1/4" bead router bit and a 1/2" ogee router bit to make the profiles for my door. The thickness of the material ( alder) was 13/16"...which is the standard thickness of all my doors. Good luck on your projects and thank you so much for visiting.

[@biglav6048]

Thank for making complicated projects simple! Where can I find your website or FB?

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

Thank you very much. I appreciate your kindness and visit to my channel. You can find me on Instagram @woodworkingwithwes

[@pashkal5727]

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

Haha...thats funny. Thanks for visiting. Wes

[@johnchurchill786]

Another excellent video Wes I really enjoyed it 👍👍👍

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

Thank you John...I sincerely appreciate your visit.

[@patrickarchuleta9594]

Excellent job young man God bless you always

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

Thank you for the young man comment 😀 Wes

[@michellecothrun1048]

Those a gorgeous cabinet doors! Just stunning! 😍

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

Thank you Michelle...I appreciate your kind words. Wes

[@SM-hz8uz]

Wes in the background on your table you have these arched pieces how are they formed

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

The arches were formed by what we call a glue bend. This is done by taking thin layers of wood glued together and clamped to a curved form and allowed to dry. This is what creates a permanent bend. Thanks for noticing...that is actually a great idea for a future video. I will put it on the list.

[@jefflopes2091]

wow, as a cabinet maker and owner of a miter door manufacturing business, the amount of bad advice in this video is shocking! Those joints are horrible!

[@usmcruiser]

Would you make a video of a better way to do it then?

[@garyedick2910]

I’ve been trying to find the bead bit with a 1/4” shank. Do you have a link for that bit? Or let me know the brand name and where I can find it. Loved the video.

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

Hi Gary...for your convenience we have attached a link in the description of the video. This is the bit that I used and it worked well. Thank you very much for visiting my channel.

[@garyedick2910]

Thank you Wes. I ordered 2 of the bits.
