  • Hey friends, let's hop back into the cabinet door building series! In the last video of the series, I shared how to determine your cabinet door size and in this video, we are going to take those dimensions and apply them to actually building the door!
    I'm sharing 7 ways to build a basic cabinet door so that you can pick the one that best fits your style, your skill level and the tools you have available.
    These are certainly not the ONLY ways to build a cabinet door, but I hope this gives you a good start and a few new ideas.
    Printable guide for cabinet door sizing and assembly plans (including dimensions, diagrams and details) can be found here: woodshop-diaries.myshopify.co...

    * Affiliate Links Below
    A note about materials: I recommend using a high quality cabinet grade (smooth) plywood when building doors. Learn how to choose plywood for your project here: www.woodshopdiaries.com/how-t...
    For the 1x3s, if you’re painting, pre-primed pine boards work great. But if you’re staining or using a clear sealer, you typically want to use the same wood type for the 1x3s and the plywood so they’ll match.
    Each cabinet door assembly shown here requires different tools and materials, but here's a list of all the tools and materials shown throughout the video. For a more detailed breakdown of what's required for each type, see the printable plans or this post: www.woodshopdiaries.com/7-way...

    I had a feeling most of you would prefer method #7 because it’s the most “traditional” method. As usual, I’m a rebel and I don’t like “traditional” so my favorites are 1, 5 & 6 😂 But this is exactly why I wanted to share this video. My favorite may not be yours and that’s okay! At the end of the day, most cabinet doors look the same once painted anyway so go with the process you enjoy the most. 😉

    Shara, I never knew there were so many ways to build a cabinet door. Thank you for explaining them all so clearly. I use door method 4 with 12 mm (1/2") plywood. Instead of chiselling to make square corners in the rabbets I round the corners of the plywood with the belt sander. I also caulk the joints on both sides before painting.

    • @WoodshopDiaries

  • @brewster3987
    @brewster3987 2 місяці тому +2

    Hmmm. "Favorite?" That sorta depends on what the end use is. I'm sure that some "purists" will huff and puff that #7, the frame-and-panel with T&G, is the only "real" door , but let's not forget that this channel is all about making woodworking accessible for people who may not have 30 years of experience (or 15 minutes of diligent UA-cam research 🤣) and a shopful of sophisticated woodworking equipment. Every last one of these options has a place, either in application of the door, or in the skillset of the maker. Okay, end of rant. To answer Shara's question, my favorites are #7 and #1; elegant-fancy and elegant-simple. And I wouldn't be able to do #3 successfully; I would be chasing the gaps because I don't have the eye for precision that Shara demonstrates week-in and week-out🏆. Looking forward to the next installment!

    • @WoodshopDiaries
      @WoodshopDiaries  2 місяці тому +1

      Definitely depends on the overall project-that’s a good point! I feel like not many “purists” follow me because I’m kind of a rebel and I intentionally go against the grain (is that a pun?) and “break the rules” on things just to see what happens 🤣 so I think I’m safe from most of those purist huffs and puffs ha! But that’s exactly why I wanted to share this video: because there are tons of ways to make a door no matter if you’re brand new and have limited tools or a professional with a workshop full of them. Honestly #3 was my least favorite-I hate using pocket holes in 1/2” material. That’s the first and only time I think I’ve ever made a door that way 🙈
      Anyway, thank you-I truly appreciate your humor and kind words. Thank you so much for watching and I hope you and yours have a wonderful weekend! See ya on the next one! 🙌

    I am loving 6. When I did my bathroom updated I wanted to go with #3 because it was easiest for me at the time but I went #7 because when looking up how-to videos, there were more people doing it that way. I bought tongue and groove router bits that helped quite a bit. After seeing your video, I will be going with #5 and #6. I don't find a lot of wood species in T&G. I find mostly pine so this may be a problem for me.

    Shara, we're talking about replacing all of our kitchen cabinet doors and drawer fronts so your series is working right into our plans for this year. I've done doors more closely to #7 but I like the idea or cutting up tongue and groove lumber and also using a round over bit to dress things up a bit. We'll probably do a proto type or two before we start a production run to see what we like. Plenty of useful tips which we thank you for. We're getting some warm weather here so the shop doors are wide open and the tools are starting to whirl. Hope your having a great weekend. Hugs for the critters. Thanks for Sharing!🙃🙂❤

    This is an excellent series you're doing Shara......so helpful! I will refer back to it to refresh my memory on the different styles of doors to choose from whenever I make more cabinets. It's handy to have them all listed in one video. I can't pick my favorite because that would depend individually on what type of cabinets I'm making at the time. I can say my least favorite and one I would never do are those with all the exposed pocket holes on the inside of the door. It would be an easy door to make but even if used in a garage I wouldn't want all those holes on the inside even if they were filled. My eye would go right to them! Thanks so much for doing this series Shara!!!

    Thank you for providing so many options! Do you have a post or a video on how you exactly cut your dados? I know you explain that you flip it around, but as a visual learner, that makes my brain short circuit. In that same vein, do you happen to have a post or a video on how you use the rabbit? I've learned so much from you. Thank you for all of your content!

    • @WoodshopDiaries
      @WoodshopDiaries  2 місяці тому +1

      Hi! I’m sorry I wasn’t clear in the video. What I mean is I run the board through so one side (like one face of the board) is against the rip fence. Then in flip it around and run it through again with the other side against the rip fence. That way, I basically cut two “slits” 1/4” from each face of the board. Then I can adjust the fence back a little to cut out what material is left between the two slits.
      The rabbeting bit simply goes into the router and I adjust so it sticks out from the bottom plate X” (whatever depth I need to cut). Then I just use the router to cut the rabbet. For more information on using a router and router direction, I have this post: www.woodshopdiaries.com/basic-woodworking-router-guide/

    I went for the last option using my router table with rail and style bits. Never did it before but I learned allot, wasted some wood but in the end turned out amazing using poplar. After making a few kinds my favorite is using high density fiber board with dowels for simple shaker style then paint. Love your videos, gives me all kinds of ideas.

      So happy you’re enjoying it! I’ve used several types of glue over the years and in my experience, for small furniture projects and things, they all get the job done. I like gorilla wood glue because it isn’t that nasty yellow color. I know Titebond has a (more expensive) version that isn’t yellow, but I just stick with Gorilla since it works and I’ve been using it a while.

    To hide the pocket holes: Can you glue on a 1/4" thick piece of plywood that completely covers them, or would that create a problem?

    • @WoodshopDiaries
      @WoodshopDiaries  2 місяці тому

      You can, but the extra thickness can potentially cause issues when installing the hinges. Doors usually need to be about 3/4” thick to work with most concealed hinges. But you can plug the holes with 3/8” dowel

    • @WoodshopDiaries
      @WoodshopDiaries  2 місяці тому

      How long it takes to build? It depends on a ton of factors. How fast do you work? How big is it? Are you building a bunch at once or just one? There’s no way to answer that very accurately as people build very differently and at different paces with with different tools and in different spaces. I don’t time myself, I work on multiple projects at once, and I’m filming (which makes everything take much longer). So I don’t really have a good estimate.

    • @WoodshopDiaries
      @WoodshopDiaries  2 місяці тому

      Pocket hole size is based on the thickness of the wood you’re drilling the pocket hole into. Since 1/2” plywood and 1x3s are different thicknesses, you drill 1/2” pocket holes in 1/2” material and 3/4” pocket holes in 3/4” material.

      That’s incredibly difficult to estimate. How big is the door? What style are you building? What type of wood? Where are you located? Where are you buying the lumber from? There are a lot of factors at play to estimate the cost for a single door.
