I think you are one of the best woodworking teachers on KZbin. Thanks for all your help I am a newbie I am retired for a year and got into woodwork and have really learned alot from all you videos

[@stephenjames820]

Exactly how I have been making shaker doors for 40 years! Thanks!

[@mattmilauskas5727]

look at those curls baby! maple is so pretty especially the edge grain. nice work!

[@adrianlegg3344]

Great informative video, I make my doors 2mm bigger all round and then trim them to size in the panel saw, this also squares them up.

[@MWAWoodworks]

I over size mine sometimes but generally do it when the door will be inset rather than overlay👍 gives me room to fit the door with even gaps

[@Mikey__R]

​@@MWAWoodworksI'm going to try my hand at inset doors and drawers. I know it's going to be more work but I prefer the look.

Excellent demo of how to make shaker doors. Thanks for sharing.

Geez, those cabinets are nicer than the ones in my kitchen. Great work Sir. 🇨🇦👍

[@robhoffman510]

Love your presentation style and content, Thank-You! I have done several panel doors just fine in my shop with 1/4” panel inserts but now my wife would like me to build wood grain shaker style pantry cabinets with thicker panels (3/8 or 1/2). Is it possible to use Wood veneer sided mdf and just router down the thickness to fit in the groove - or do I need to build solid panels and adjust for expansion?

[@researchcapt]

Nice useful video. Never seen a tenon jig like that...cool. Stereo amplifiers need a little ventilation because of the waste heat. A few holes drilled on the bottom and the top would do that. You could add computer fan filters that would work to keep the dust out. They need a 120 mm hole.

[@stevendemarcus1321]

Shaper, insert tooling, feeder. Much more efficient and reliable. Stop block method on table saw more reliable for cutting rails and stiles. Miter saws are used for breaking down rough lumber before milling. My advice to those wanting to start building cabinet doors but haven’t and don’t know where to start would be simple. 2 1/4 HP router with a table you buy or make. Router bits. No table saw. The hardest possible way to build a shaker door. The router will allow you to offer multiple profiles. Lastly, eased edges on the rails and stiles are the true game changer if doing your own finishing. Good luck.

[@Alreadydanutzinyamouf]

People make it so hard because people don't have all the tools and machinery you have lol

[@MWAWoodworks]

Lol all you need is a table saw.

[@polbecca]

​​​@@MWAWoodworksNot all table saws are created equal. And bear in mind that some of our big box stores stock cheap pine and pretty much nothing else. The tenoning jig looks pretty neat though.

[@msk3905]

@@MWAWoodworks what about the jig?

[@addammadd]

…46 seconds in and he’s used a miter saw, table saw and a jointer…

[@Hibbo89]

You can do this with a cheap router and a cheap grooving bit. All the machinery makes it much much easier, but it’s doable with a simple router.

[@11211lcb]

I cut the tenons using a dado set and sacrificial fence along with a miter gauge. After set up, 2 cuts and the tenon is done.

[@MWAWoodworks]

Yep that works too but I find the cut a little more rough that way. Still holds on to glue that way.

Great job on the video Matt!

Wow, a comment from Jason Bent! Jason, I'm a subscriber to your channel and your "Cool points" just went up big because of your support of Matt's content. BTW, Matt, I agree with Jason! Also, I was impressed with your Tenoning jig. You just might earn another follower because of it.

[@GraemeForbes-e5s]

The small alternative is to use a floating tenon for the frame joint this saves having to cut the tenon with the risk of not cutting it accurately especially if you wish to offset the panel groove

[@JamesKnightSmith]

May I suggest a self Centering drill bit for the hinge holes into the cabinet.

[@davidburns4176]

It took this video for me to finally understand the relationship between the jointer and planer. I'm now producing perfect boards.

[@RoundTownWithMike]

Nice! Looks good. How far out from the table saw did you rout your cross-cut sled/miter gauge tracks? I am about to do that to my table. Looks like about 18"

[@BZ1340]

I like the process, just not a fan of 1/4 inch panels . I like to use 3/8 panels

[@BasedGodEmperorTrump]

I work at a molding shop and personally make shaker/raised panel doors. After putting all the pieces together after glue up, I put them in a Ritter press to square up and add brad nails on the stile intersections to go through both tongue and groove on the back side of the door so I don't have to wait for the glue to harden. Then I run them through a voorwood machine to add the edge/profile followed up with running through a sander at 150grit.

[@GFSwinger1693]

And of course all of what you just said is a practical option for the home wood worker.

Thank you very much. Glad you liked it 👍

[@Mikey__R]

I know this is the modern way to make frame and panel; but my brain can't get on with how short the tenon holding the rails into the stiles is. I'd feel much more comfortable with a longer tenon, but I do appreciate that's more work. When I get on to remaking my kitchen cabinet doors, I'm going to experiment with adding a domino to strengthen that joint.

[@PenaltyBoxWoodshop]

Great video, Matt! Shaker style is my favorite!

[@paul0631]

Looks so nice~! I had a question. Is it bad to have a heavy door? I'm building a closed door shoe cabinet with 3/4 plywood about 6ft high and 3ft wide 14in deep. I figured I would just use the same plywood for the door as well, but wondering if that would be too heavy. Is it just for great aesthetic purposes that you make these awesome looking doors or do doors need to be light? Just wondering because I don't care too much about aesthetics for this project, since the cabinet will be in the garage.

[@rorywynhoff1549]

That's a lot of weight. Will need hd hinges,, and may cause racking over time.

[@delvallewoodworking23]

Nice and straight forward info!

[@TheFullmetalwhite]

I been gluing the plywood too. Does it hurt to do that?

[@MWAWoodworks]

Uh, I wouldn't say it hurts, it's just not needed. If you want to prevent rattling of the panel add just a dab of glue to all four sides in the middle that will hold it still. Also only glue plywood or MDF. Never glue a solid wood center panel!

[@drftt719]

Great video!! Simple w great instructions 👍🏽

[@MrBubbajohnson1]

Can I get prefinished panel at Lowe’s or Home Depot? Thanks for great channel.

Nope. You'll need to find your local plywood distributor (whoever supplies the cabinet shops in your city)

Is it normal to see the planar ribs? I'm looking to buy a thickness planar, and wondering if that's the norm. I recently used a hand planar for the first time on butcher block, and was able to sand those vallies out using 60 grit and stepping up to 320. Wasn't fun though.

Hello Matt, thanks for making this. I'm making some of these for my Mom and Dad's kitchen. Well, a lot of them. First major ww project for someone else. I have a couple of questions if you might be so kind to address? First, I'm making these with beadboard panels- as per mom's request - and she wants to paint them. When I assemble them, should I glue the panel at all? How do I deal with the panel moving a bit and the paint edge? I was considering caulking the rail/panel and stile/panel interface and maybe the caulk would hold well enough? Secondly, I'm limited in clamps. I have to make 21 doors... how long should I let the glue dry in clamps. For reference, I have Titebond III, was considering maybe getting Titebond II to use for slightly faster setup. Your time and effort is much appreciated, thank you in advance.

[@nicholaspegarsch8412]

I bought a bunch of hand clamps from harbor freight for about 6 bucks a piece I think it was. I think I'm up to 8 now which can allow me to have 4 doors drying at once.

You don't have to glue the plywood panels. They "float" inside the frame.

[@kryptik0]

How far did you set the fence when cutting the dado? If your board is 3/4" thick and you want the dado to be about 1/4", then assuming the blade kerf is 1/8th inch, you set the fence 1/4 inch from the right side of the blade kerf (closest to fence). Can you confirm?

[@shaytorres3106]

Thanks!

[@danielakerman8241]

I don’t understand why YOU made this so hard! You had a perfectly good router table and could have done this more simply with a tongue and groove router bit set. No multiple passes, no jigs, very little measuring. You can also route the groove along one long edge BEFORE cutting pieces to length, and you’ll save passes and ensure all the pieces match perfectly

[@MWAWoodworks]

That's fine except far more people own a table saw than a router table or specialized rail and stile bits!

[@danielakerman8241]

@@MWAWoodworksfair enough. New video idea for you: do this again on the router table (the Freud router bit set is good), and compare speed, equipment cost, and other benefits and drawbacks of the two methods.

Just wanted to mention that tenons can also be cut without using the jig. Miter gauge can be used instead.

1/16. It's plywood not hardwood so there's really no need to account for wood movement
