Building a Sideboard part 20: Making the Doors | Hand Tool Woodworking

- Опубліковано 18 жов 2024
- Well, we've got the drawer fronts fit, so now we are going to make the doors! These will have glass (plexiglass) in them, so that complicates things. If it were frame-and-panel, this would be easy! But since I want to be able to replace the glass one day, especially if it breaks, I cannot enclose the glass entirely. Instead, I will need to make the doors so I can switch out the glass, which means making doors with a rabbet in them, rather than a groove.
If you use a power router, this is easy. With hand tools, it gets trickier. I hope this very long video helps you understand how you can go about doing this!
Thanks, and enjoy!
If you'd like to stay up to date on the real-time progress for the sideboard, check my instagram account, below. There, you'll see that I'm actually moving along at quite the pace, considering I'm not using any electricity except for lighting and heat (ha!) and since I've got a family and a full-time job!
Thanks so much for watching!
I hope you've enjoyed the progress so far!

Keep going! I am enjoying this!!
So glad to hear!!
I can't wait to see it with whatever finish you put on. It's going to be beautiful. Keep it up!
Thank you! I've used wipe-on poly on the glued-up case, but I will need to go back and touch up! I'm so ready to see the final, finished result!
Just discovered you channel; great stuff. I subscribed and look forward to watching more....cheers...rr Normandy, Fra
Merci! I appreciate it, man! Thanks for watching :)
I just came across a mortise holding tip over the weekend. I have yet to try it, but it is basically holding the piece in one of those two screw wooden handscrew clamps on your benchtop against a scrap in your face vise. Last time I chopped, I had the piece in my vise and had to constantly move it back up.
Thanks, Ryan! That was a great tip for sure!
That is looking soooo good. I keep putting off getting a rabbeting plane since I have a stanley 45 but it seems so much simpler to have a tool just for that purpose.
😎🙌 I got the 78 because I didn’t like using my 45 for rabbets! The 78 has been a bit of a learning curve or me but I’m glad I have it. It is definitely nice to be able to set both tools (45 & 78) and leave them!!
