Great teaching technique! Most of us are visual learners, I know I am. Everything for a reason and a reason for everything. Thank you so much.

[@mikeshields2740]

Where can I get one of those yellow bit set up tools please

[@av492507]

What material do you use to make the Raised Panels door

[@jaimebalderas7074]

Antonio Velez looks like he is using red oak.

[@raider6511]

You can use Popular, Oak or any hard or soft wood. Hard wood is best. Popular can be stained best with a Gel stain.

My easy set does not have the raised panel setting, why not ?

[@stevespencer5158]

Did you get an answer?

[@glennjacobs761]

The width dimension for the rails is too wide, and the length dimension for the stiles does not make sense. Rails do not loose 7/16 width only the stile ends loose the 7/16".

[@raycarnis9540]

Top rail and bottom rail are the short ones, by width he means the length of the top and bottom rails which go width ways.

[@shadespicturehangingsystem1015]

@@raycarnis9540 Yes, that is correct. The rails will lose 7/16" on each side so you need to add 14/16"(7/8") to your rail measurement to get the correct external width dimension of your door after using the cope bit. the styles remain the length of the door.

[@gordonflores1334]

@@shadespicturehangingsystem1015 Unfortunately, you're thinking of this incorrectly. The width of the Styles are 2-7/16" each, the length of the rail is 8" but the cope on the end of the rail will inset into the style by the 7/16" on either side. Think of this as "visual" measurements after assembly, Style 1 at 2-7/16", the Rail at 7-1/8", then Style 2 at 2-7/16" for a total width of 12". Freeze the video at 1:31 and you'll see how the rail is inset into the style.

Crap instructions, and thoughtless measurements. This video was garbage. Yeah, let’s EYEBALL so we can make a million test cuts to make a flat shaker back. Hey, I have an idea... Why not have a precise measurement or setup tool that will make it more precise and reliable every time?

[@figueredoruley8050]

Hmmm... I finally followed Ann's advice and took Woodglut. It's great for beginners and has some advanced stuff too.

[@MauriceCalis]

These videos are great, but would you please use a dead blow hammer on the wood instead? Haha. You're making me cringe.
