[@ofpfury]

For any style and rail door, especially with inner “muntins”, aiming for a slightly oversized finish exterior dimension, to be trimmed to size and square after glue-up can be very forgiving, especially for inset doors. I used to calculate lengths of all parts needing coped, cut them to length but leave as wide as you like, then cope all in one setup with no worries of blowout. (Helpful with profiles that taper to zero at the inside edge against the glass.) These can then be ripped and/or jointed as you prefer to their finish widths before sticking, leaving the final router pass to be with the grain. We used to call the full length (usually vertical muntins) “glass bars” to differentiate from the shorter “muntins” in speaking with others in the trade.

[@stucorbett7905]

Always cope first. Get a shaper with Freeborn tooling. The sticking will be jointed at the same time. Also power feeder is important. Also Amana makes an 1/8 flush cutter with bearing to clean up back rabbets. Then a one strike corner chisel.. The quality will amaze you vs routers up.

[@richardshort4587]

Excellent video James. Have you ever considered using Decra Led self adhesive led tape to make a design on the glass. Used it a lot back in the UK as leaded windows make for a great look inside and out and on cabinet doors. Cheers 🍻👍

Another great instructional video! Thanks - You always make it look so easy!

[@ed9958]

how would I make the cope cuts on the ends of the stiles & rails only, so I could cut a slot between those cuts on both rails & stiles ? would appreciate your input.

[@redrockcrf4663]

May I suggest that if you install wooden strips to cover the glass on the back, that rubber gaskets are also used to avoid any possibility if rattling. If only using metal keepers to hold the glass this may look ugly, but behind wooden batons they are invisible, but very helpful in my opinion.

[@dwightl5863]

After seeing the video I looked at the doors in the cabinets of our townhouse build in 2005. Cabinets made by a cabinet company. Quality is decent. They used clear silicone caulk around the entire inset. FYI

[@alexrobles7744]

was a part 3 to this very informative series?

[@joanschwartz798]

I have a pair of 8 paned glass interior french doors I’m installing as pantry doors. I purchased them on FB Marketplace and each door has a broken (actually shattered) pane of glass. The construction is very complex. The muntins have the same appearance on both sides of the doors and seem to be solid in their construction. Meaning: No glazing or moulding used. The wood is maple and in very good shape. How can I replace the broken glass panels without taking apart the rails and stiles? Do you have a video on this? I should also mention that the panes have a very stretchy film on both sides of each pane. When they broke they didn’t break like normal glass would. It looks like a car windshield looks when it gets shattered. They’re all together because of the film on both sides. I’ve removed all the broken glass and have discovered that the glass is (was) quite thick. Approximately 3/16”. Not sure why that is. Anyway, I sure could use some help with this project. Any help you could offer would be appreciated. Thanks…….Joanie S.

[@jessecreatethis2863]

Would this be adequate muntin construction for an exterior door or window? It looks similar to old 1920s window muntin construction to me, but I'm not sure if they used mortise and tenons for muntins back then.

[@spacecaptain9188]

Could this be done more simply (For those of us with limited tools)? I was thinking I could get a sheet of plywood, cut out the 4 holes, and rout the edges of each one, for the glass to set in, then cover with trim? Would that work? And maybe rout both sides, to make a double paned window?

[@ackmartin60]

No. That is a bad idea. All the plywood cores would show or need to be edge banded.

Hi, I have searched the Internet for a video on making doors with muntings or divided georgian style glass. There is nothing! I would like to make a pair of traditional ledge and brace garage doors with 6 panes of glass at the top divided by muntings. I don't know if im safer to just build the top glass divisions using square stock and then routing the rabbits and profiles after the door has been glued up. Whats your thoughts? I was considering the easy and safer option of just using thinner timber to divide the windows and then just cut in beads on both sides. I wish there were more videos on this subject, it's a tricky thing because you could end up ruining a whole door if something goes wrong when routing after gluing up. Maybe I've just answered my own question as to why muntings should be run beforehand and fitted as complete profiles. Please do a video right now on this subject that answers all my questions! 😆

[@karlhalliwell5432]

Great information as always, but I always do stepped shoulders this way you eliminate the need for rebating afterwards and cleaning out the corners with a chisel and looks a lot more clean lined and looks less of a DIY job and more professional

[@yannisvaroufakis9395]

This is excellent! I imagine that it might be a similar, but more complex, process to make sash windows, which brings me to my request (actually, my groveling plea): would you consider doing a video series on how to make, step by step, traditional, historic double-hung sash windows, complete with the frames, lead counterbalances, etc? I just can’t stand the mass produced commercial windows that don’t look good but cost a fortune and which homeowners association covenants do not allow to be used on some historic homes. I couldn’t care less about the gimmicky double-glass argon filled insulating pane nonsense (my building codes do not prohibit single pane divided light windows). I want my 1920s home to look like it did when it was constructed, but I can’t afford to pay 40G for custom Marvins that are not entirely authentic for my period home. I know it would be quite a project making and installing 20 custom windows, but I’m ready and willing to take on that project. I haven’t found any resources whatsoever on window making. An instructional series that would preserve the knowledge of traditional window craft would fill an important gap in woodworking instruction currently crowded with how-to videos on making workbenches, tool chests, coffee tables and stick chairs. I recently made an English style Nicholson workbench, which as you know was originally a joiner’s workbench design. I’d like to put it to use for that purpose. Thanks.

[@andrewacton5885]

Last time i did this with my round over stile/rail kit, the muntins came out way too wide, out of proportion. im finally brainstorming this more as i have another set to build again. The slot cutter of the stile bit in my freud kit is making a 7/16 deep groove for the interior panel. If i leave 3/16 of wood left on the back of my muntins between the glass, im left with this awkward 1-1/16" wide muntin with a 1/4 or 5/16" deep profile on the face. Not like your narrower shaker muntins here. Mine looked silly to me. Im going to remove the slot cutters off the stile bit and run my muntins at a more asthetic width, maybe 3/4". then set up a 3/4 mortise bit and route out a shallower mortise for the back of the muntins. Or i need an arrangement of smaller diameter slot cutters to swap out

[@DH-lq6lf]

James I have notice those of us woodworkers from the northeast use the term stick when talking about stiles and rails. I have been in Construction and a wood worker for over 40 years and until I started watching KZbin I had never heard that term "stick". Do you know thinking on that term? or origin of it? before you ask, I dont have an alternate term to use. We have always used just stile and rail and cope and end cut. I don't have an issue with the term. It is as good as any but I am a bit of a history buff as are you and like to know the background and history. The last time I asked this question I think I offended them and that is not the point. Also, I really enjoy your videos. I learn something new in all of them. Cool tools is amazing as well. I would have never known about most of those gadgets if not for you. Plus I love you humor. Please don't dial that back. It is refreshing

[@StumpyNubs]

In real life, nobody really says "I'm going to stick these stiles." In a modern workshop you are more likely to hear "I'll rout the stiles." Or something general like that. (You said you say "cope" and "end cuts"- but those are one in the same. You "cope" the ends of the rails.) Sticking is an old term that pre-dates modern routers and techniques. Perhaps it is related to making "a stick of moulding" (a long, narrow piece). Moulding hand planes were used to create those profiles while the piece of wood was held in a "sticking board" to support it on the benchtop. (tinyshopww.blogspot.com/2017/08/made-sticking-board.html) I suspect that is the origin of the term used in cabinetry. As I said, people these days don't usually use "sticking" as a verb, but the frame joinery made by modern router bit sets is still commonly called "cope and stick". That's why I used the term in the video.

[@jsnuk3556]

Hi James - I've complimented you in the past on the very high quality of your videos, and this one is no exception. However, I'm going to respectfully disagree with the logic of not fitting the glass "permanently". The chance of a pane of glass breaking over a lifetime of use is rare -- certainly less frequent than the number of times I would open the cabinet door and say: "Dang, the interior of this glass door sure looks ugly!" It seems a pity to rout out that beautiful interior wood frame. I would argue that the glass be mounted "semi-permanently" without any routing. You could then -- under normal circumstances -- appreciate a high-quality finished interior over decades of use. In the rare event that a glass pane did break, you could always remove it and carefully rout out the wood surrounding that single pane, as you have described, in order to replace it. (I do acknowledge that this suggestion -- of mounting the glass semi-permanently -- raises issues about the sequence of finishing of the project surface, since the final finishing would have to be done before the glass was mounted.) My second alternative would be to fabricate nice removable frame inserts to cover the glass on the interior, as you have already suggested. Anything except the bare metal tabs! ... Just my two cents worth.

[@StumpyNubs]

You would be surprised how often someone breaks one by placing something inside the cabinet that sticks out a little farther than they thought, then shutting the door on it. Sure, it's rare, but it happens. And while you may not like the look of the glazer's points in the video, the inside can be made to look very nice with mitered strips of wood. This can even create a pleasing profile on the back side that is superior, in my opinion, the the appearance of the standard square backs of the grooved muntins.... But to each his own :)

[@jsnuk3556]

@@StumpyNubs Fair enough - I agree the latter is a good compromise. Keep the excellent videos coming! Hey -- if the Habs make it all the way this year, would you mind to show a Canadiens mug, just for one video? (Haha ... after all, it's been nearly 30 years!)
