3 Ways To Build Cabinet Doors

[@steveferguson1232]

I’m an old cabinet maker. This is a great video for people to see. One observation for the middle and best doors. Use a little foam rectangle piece called a panel buddy or foam space balls the Rockler sells. It helps well with expansion and contraction and it takes that hollow sound out when you close the door because panel fits evenly a snug but allows for expansion and contraction. Used them for years and still do. They are crazy cheap for a large amt

[@lisachristopher69]

I like the space balls. And they do make a big difference.

[@danielhaulbrook3498]

I almost said the exact same thing.

[@MbongwafitwellCele]

Yeah bro you hv answered all my questions, thanks

[@UnlimitedRenovation]

Hey where can I find miter and router and the bits he used it’ll help a lot thank you

[@scpatl4now]

Those also work well if you do glass inserts

[@angeruandrei8424]

Awesome book that gives you step-by-step photos kzbin.infoUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt and directions to make every day project. I can see myself making a few of these projects and giving them as housewarming and holiday gifts!

[@QueenBeeBBQ]

Great video! Thank you for being prepared, not stammering and stuttering, and wasting time! Fast and to the point is what I needed. I actually used this info to do an even more advanced door design, with a 1/4" birch ply insert panel, and it turned out great. Will be watching more vids, for more tips. Thanks.

[@rajaharrison411]

I love that your beginner is actually beginner friendly. I.e. people who don’t have or is comfortable with using a table saw yet.

[@scpatl4now]

I used the router method when I redid my kitchen doors. Those router bits are BEASTS! I did stained glass inserts rather than wood, but you still have to allow for the cabinets to contract and expand so you have to get a little creative to keep the glass from shifting over time. That was 10 years ago and they are still good as new

[@joelsmith2874]

Best video for people who actually want to make their own doors with different skill levels and tools. I’ve seen many of these type videos and this is to the point and well done. Thank you

[@davidhenner9367]

My 2 cents... beginner should drill the holes for the hinges 1st. Just in case you mess up you don't throw all the other work away.

[@DeanLangley]

In the comments, “Pros don’t use Ryobi.” It’s kind of obvious but tools do not a Craftsman make. It takes skill to be a craftsman. Craftsmen used to use non powered hand tools. Some of us still do for some things.

[@StoneInMySandal]

The tool brand myth is funny to me. Professional craftsmen don’t care who makes the tools, as long as it delivers the results required. It’s also kind of sad. So many people meet with failure early in their careers and hobbies because they don’t understand what tools actually provide. The skills are the important thing.

[@AxGryndr]

Because the center panel on the 'pro' can expand and contract you should provide some relief by taking a 1/32 from all sides with the tables saw. In the video the panel is not glued but it is edge bound. This means when the panel expands it is pressing against the stiles. If the expansion is significant, it is possible to split the joinery (the corners) or the panel itself.

[@ElCidPhysics90]

Another variation in between the beginner and intermediate would be to create a rabbit or grove for the plywood back to sit in rather than just on top. Of course this takes additional time.

[@svong8789]

Excellent video! Love the comparison and tiering of options

[@nereida116]

#mrfixit Grandmother here. I love your presentations and energy. Now, here's a tiny bit of Grandmother advice: Have your Adult ENT check you out- especially your vocal cords; then have your Upper GI Doctor check your stomach via an Endoscopy. Why? You're straining your voice to speak normally. Reflux can affect our vocal cords... (A huge issue for teachers plus vocal cord calluses. I taught for approx 45 years). Please be well!

[@susanc1179]

This video is so helpful! What size raised panel bit did you use? Thank you!

[@rustylester8611]

Thanks for the beginners door example. This method is what I have been looking for. Simple and looks great.

[@akorada]

I loved how you explained the whole process....crisp and clear, without wasting time. I have subscribed to your channel

[@pmr7632]

Nice Video. Really curious about the paint process. Brushed? Sprayed? What type/brands. Would appreciate the info. Thanks

[@howiestern6921]

I like to use 1/2 plywood for my panel, shaker style in the front nice and flat/flush in the back. Same with my drawer faces.

[@kevintennant4461]

Not sure your supposed to glue the ply panel in either coz your stiles and rails shrink and expand too. We used to paint timber panels before we put them in as well coz when they shrink you see the timber

[@chaparrito77]

Great video. What kind of primer and paint did you use. Please.

[@cassiecoleman3584]

Great info, nice step by step!

[@jmonck2878]

Thanks for this video. I was able to use your approach (pocket screw) to build new doors! Thank you.

Hi great video could you put links for the router table router and bits you are using thanks

[@davidrael8624]

Terrific video! Great work.🎉

[@bhavenmehta]

Great video! What router bits did you use. It was not clear in the video?

[@Kevinw4040]

For the beginner door did you cut a 1/4” groove to inlay the plywood flush with the stile or is it just nailed on top of it? The video didn’t show it.

[@AndrewLlano]

It looks like he just used glue and nailed from the back

[@jpjp9111]

Never made a cabinet but all of this looks easy. Heck, I could probably just go and do the pro version easily.

[@sergioayres5387]

Awesome! great video and tips, What kind of wood are you using for the frame? I would like redo my cabinets and if you could suggest me what woods I can use for the frame that'd be awesome! great job! keep it up!

[@SanjoySarkar-uq2iv]

Thank you so much for the awesome video. I kind a like the pro option. Could you please let me know what model Bosch router, the sizes of mortise, tenon and raised panel bits you used for this project?

[@ado933]

Thanks for making a video even though you were sick.

[@ElCidPhysics90]

Are you using 3/4 thickness pine for the frame?

[@Rae6783]

Thank you. I feel I can do this now having seen your video.

[@chuchotech5513]

Great video . The best that I have found. Quick question. How did you paint? Spray gun ? What do you suggest?

[@ZiziBizi003]

This is wonderful. I'm currently in the process of building a new kitchen and I want cabinet doors just like that. I will put visible hinges on the door. The only problem for me is the type of paint. I don't know what kind of paint to achieve such an effect. Please help.

[@bijan4727]

Hi very well presentation. Did you use 1/2 plywood as a panel for the last one ? I appreciate your input. Thanks

[@Affordablebath_remodel]

[@joshadolphsen4767]

Where do you get the router bits from?

For that "floating" panel, will it crack the paint surface as it moves around from seasonal size changes?

[@jmonck2878]

Can anyone tell me the brand and model of the pocket hole jig? Thanks.

Me watching the whole video knowing the begginer door is where i ahould have stopped.

[@TwoJeremysWoodworking]

You know, I appreciate your ever-developing skills. But the fact that you just flat out ignore your followers is such a slap in the face to the people who make your “job” possible. Without followers and subscribers, you are just another working man like the rest of us. Take a moment each day to thank and appreciate all of those that make it possible for you to have this social media life you have. We watch your content, buy your merchandise…at least be thankful. Have a good one.

[@matthewlewis143]

How do kitchen manufacturers get the wood grain texture?

[@patparker9516]

[@joshfalk4207]

What kind of hinged are being used for the beginner doors? I built the doors but can’t figure out how to hang them

[@pkk6428]

Great video. Question, I only have to make 1 door. I have the router bits and plan on using them, you said add 3/4" to the rails, my door width is 21.5" and 63.5" long, so if my math is correct, I should cut them too 16.5 3/4"? Thanks

[@Affordablebath_remodel]

stile width? but the rails would be 3/4" longer than you would be able to see. go to the 8 min mark

[@pkk6428]

Thanks

[@siptoolsnlife]

Thank you so much! I'm loving the beginner, intermediate and pro series on each build. Grateful!

[@jelle8754]

Does anyone have a link for a similar hinge drilling set as in 2:43? Can't really seem to find one for so cheap. Also, does this work for all hinges?

[@gurneyzprojx]

Nice and informative, love the set up in your shop too, wanna set mine up similar. I have a job coming up to make a couple of cabinets, but with glass in the door frame, any tips?

[@smooth_ops2942]

Build your doors as standard but without a center panel inserted into the groove you have made. After the glue on the mortise and tenon has dried, use a flush cut bit to route out the backside of the channel so your glass can just slip down in and use silicone to adhere the glass to the door.

[@Cb.951]

What size pocket hole screws?

[@djai201]

For me, the 3th possiblity professionnal like you say, should be a profile and counter profile assembly. And last, we never glue a pannel. This one need to be free to move. It will be also more easy to change it in case if it break.

[@waxymud7609]

What colour paint is that on the red/pink door please?

[@INTERGERAR2]

For example the intermediate door How much would it cost 22”x15” ?

[@akeillewis7515]

Awesome 👌🏾

[@geesehoward7261]

what table and router do you use? thanks

[@Alexanderbuilds2001]

I need to get a router table.

[@MICHAEL062590]

A solution to the first door would be to glue a full piece of plywood to the back and use a flush router bit around the edges or just run it down a table saw on each side.

[@souduke]

Can you use a hand router tool rather than the big table router??

[@DanSwanson2070]

Brad nailing the quarter round inset seems like overkill. Wood glue is stronger than wood, and you won’t have nail holes.

[@soulserenitylifestyle9344]

Any chance You'll Come to Houston and do some work around my house?!?! love all your work!!

[@trisa9625]

can the center panel have to bee 100 wood or can it be sheet of plywood

[@allkindsofmusic2275]

Is there a reason the beginners back panel isn’t just the size of the whole door? That way the back isn’t ugly?

[@bobmartin5101]

THE PUSH STICK IS RIGHT THERE........just saying.

[@fabadabean]

Thanks for doing this video, despite looking like you have a cold... Super insightful! I'll be trying the intermediate :)

[@zackjames88]

Great vid...should have gave viewers an idea of tool and bit costs to make them

[@RKG64]

Intermediate doors- need to cut the groove in rails and stiles first, then match the tenon to that width. Otherwise, too tight or too much slop. Been there, done that....

[@MattFormoso]

it really doesnt matter either way

[@markgambrill]

@@MattFormoso It does because you can sneak up on the tenon fit. The grooves are in every part and cut for the panel. Much harder to correct the groove.

[@Joseph-jx8bl]

What’s the info on that router table setup?

[@derpherpp3]

30$ door using 300$ router bits(literary 3 of those bits cost that much) and couple thousand dollars router and table. so cheap and easy. not sure why u picked green tools if u have the money for those other tools

[@spclifton91]

[@PropheticMinutes]

What do you suggest the max length of cabinets should be? I have a 90” space and I am not sure if I should make them one long one or cut length in half

[@antaholics]

I would say keep it ~36" and under, maybe ~42" if really necessary, is the max width I would go in a kitchen. Anything bigger becomes unwieldy to use

[@PropheticMinutes]

@@antaholics thanks for the advice!

Quarter inch mortise and tenon set

[@christiancarfann]

How long are brad nails?

[@maddness1997]

Why do you have to add a half inch with the hinges ?

[@davidranderson4831]

Sorry if I missed it but what type of wood did you use?

[@brentfrench752]

I never built the beginner door, but I’ve build the other two when making shop furniture. Do you have any idea why space balls are used, or in what applications you would use them? I just let the panel float, but guess the space balls are used to allow it to float but keep it firm so it doesn’t rattle, but the balls allow it to swell? I don’t know, but waste of money i think. What do you use for your dust collector? I noticed it seems to do a good job on your table saw and router table. I didn’t see it sitting in your shop.

[@Als799]

they are good to use to keep glass or metal decorative panes from rattling

[@brentfrench752]

@@Als799 Ah, that makes sense. Thanks!

[@DenimNeverNude]

You're exactly right on why the space balls can be used. They keep a floating panel snug in place while allowing for wood movement.

[@Lmberjosh]

Definitely not a waste of money if you are using solid wood panels. With plywood or mdf you don't have the expansion concerns you do with solid wood and thus don't need to leave the space which the space balls are intended to fill. If you use solid wood and don't let it float (ie glue it in place) you are asking for trouble if it expands. If you don't glue it in place and don't use space balls it will rattle and - depending on how much space you left and the depth of the groove - you might end up with some gaps on one or more edges of the panel.

[@UnlimitedRenovation]

Anyone know where I can find a miter and router

[@edgararcega3046]

I keep seeing more and more people having a arsenal of ryobi tools. Is ryobi all that nowadays?

They’re Milwaukee in green. They’re designed and manufactured by the same company. A lot of the internal parts are interchangeable. If you don’t drop your tools all the time it’s hard to argue against Ryobi.

[@levirico5339]

Just in time thanks!

[@cobblecattt]

As a beginner, beginner level is not beginner level. You explained nothing about what pocket holes are...wait times between steps...drill attachment...

[@resurrectedmountainphoenix]

Was thinking the same thing

[@ASAPASPOSSIBLE]

5% more effort on the first one fitting the back panel inside the frame using the trims as a "holder" from the front, and it will look 10x better than the last one with all the bells and whistles.

[@LinzseyslilPad]

how do you attach the back panel to the trims?

[@tylor2113]

If i'm painting not staining is there an advantage to using select pine over MDF for the beginner doors?

[@jordanveverica6696]

Select pine is solid wood. It will hold up better over time. Also, when you are installing your concealed hinges, real wood tends to be a better option because the screws will bite into the wood better than MDF (which may end up splitting and/or cracking). I'd recommend using poplar over pine in this case because it is not significantly more expensive but it is a litter harder (ie more durable) and paints better. MDF is also more likely to crack with frequent open/close usage. That said, 1/4" MDF works great for the floating panel because it is stable and paints really well.

[@HunteroftheNorth]

Longevity of where the hinges attach to the door. I find MDF fails quicker over time.

[@Mythix2]

mdf edges are pretty ugly, you'll have to do a lot of prep to get them as nice. search for mdf edge grain painting on youtube.

[@tylor2113]

@@jordanveverica6696 Thanks for the breakdown and advice. I've been getting into basic woodworking and much appreciate it.

MDF is also -heavy-, which is something to take into consideration depending on the size of your door and the type of hinges used.
