Tutorial: How to make a Shaker Style cabinet door.

[@chickenfoot911]

Wearing gloves with saws is a great way to get your hand wrapped around the blade

[@jdthnt]

Good job on the product, but don’t use gloves on any saw, and don’t stand on the side of the table saw.

[@Bulldog22031]

Dont glue the center panel, even if its MDF. It's supposed to "float" to allow the rails and stiles to expand and contract.

[@jhmlkmorrow]

I was wondering if anyone else was thinking the same thing. Never glue center panel.

[@xoxrazzyxox]

What do you do instead?

[@kellywaddell4448]

@@xoxrazzyxoxnot glue the center panel, because it’s supposed to float to allow for expansion and contraction

[@edwardstorey2548]

You use space balls around the edges of the panel which are little rubber balls that allow the door to expand and contract so as not to split the wood. NEVER use glue and the screws are unnecessary the glue on just the corners of the frame is plenty to hold.

[@isabelgutierrez8150]

@@xoxrazzyxoxyou just put the frame around it, it will be held in the grooves and wiggle around in the frame

[@konnan1020]

Now you have the grove showing on top of the doors and drawers 👍

[@bigmak9636]

As a new carpenter, I was making doors and I cut the center panels very snug and glued the center panel to the rails and the styles. The wood expanded and blew out all my joints. It should float, there should be a small gap between the center panel styles and the rails.

[@robb4751]

You never glue your panels inside your rails and stiles. They need to be able to move.

[@MrSota1]

For plywood you use glue. If it’s a raised panel, yes use barrels.

[@whissskychasr5208]

Great job.

[@DeanneMariaCreates]

I use dowels for shaker doors.

[@ericwotton2046]

That table saw blade was set way too high and you shouldn't cut stranding next to the saw... I know it's for the video but you don't want to loose a finger or two.

[@Kairenovations]

So she would stand on the side with the fence how is she supposed to see the blade????

[@janicetribbiani7535]

I think what you’re seeing is the riving knife, but she still should use a push stick.

[@juanchan6286]

Wow looks amazing

[@markleland]

Great job. Where did you get that beautiful map on the wall behind you?

[@mikemerc74]

Do the screws have enough material to screw into considering you made a groove?

[@ballsdeep9648]

Enjoy your fingers while you have 'em. You need to research table saw safety. I'm not trying to be mean.

[@georgehitchmough1045]

But doesn't know that gloves are the worst idea ever!

[@Samlol23_drrich]

@@georgehitchmough1045that’s the only reason there are so many foolish questions….to start a dialogue “what kind of wood is that?” “Where did you get that map in the background?” Etc.

[@campeau29]

Getting the dedo cuts consistently centered is no easy task.

[@JAG1762]

What did you do about the groove opening that will show?

[@whatismauramaking]

Yes SHAKER 👌🏾

[@MsCharae23]

Where did you get the world map artwork behind you? Did you make that?😱

[@M30263]

Yep. No glue and use small spacer balls to keep it from rattling and centered. 👍 #smallballs

[@RyanWattersRyanWatters]

@BarberellaHome People complaining about your approach need to lighten up a bit since this is ultimately a simple means/hack to getting shaker doors done quickly for what was clearly a shop cabinet made with inexpensive materials. (As in, who cares if they don’t look perfect since they should be getting the snot kicked out of them.)
BUT for any newbie watching this video looking to make interior shaker doors that are going to last:
1. Go with pocket holes OR go with grooves and tenons for rails and stiles. The whole idea of cutting the grooves is to increase the glue surface and avoid the poor aesthetics of pocket holes. Combing the two offers no real advantage, AFAICT.
2. On the topic of the glue surface, don’t glue in the panel if you have grooves for it to sit in. The purpose of the groove, regardless of whether you’re gluing the outer frame or using PHs, is to allow for wood expansion on the piece with the most surface area. Note: if the panel is plywood-which is what it looks like here-this reduces the likelihood of expansion that’s going to damage your door.
3.If using pocket holes, buy plugs to glue into the holes and cut/sand flush. Even if the holes are on the interior of the door, it looks very amateurish when people open it.
4.Don’t wear gloves when operating a table saw.
5.One good thing to note is the use of a screwdriver rather than drill for attaching the screws. This is especially important for soft woods like the pine being used. It’s all too easy to screw your pocket hole screws (what you should use here rather than what look like interior furniture screws she’s using) all the way through the holes you’ve drilled out. (Note: best bet is to attached the screws with a drill with the clutch turned way down. And don’t use an impact driver.)
Even with the above, I think this video is a great introduction to how Shaker doors are made, and Barbarella seems to have great pointers for DIYers.

What kind of wood did you use on rail and style

[@bbomb113]

shouldn't use gloves on table saw!

[@0170barney]

Why? I think I know why, but please explain.

[@jjsrt8]

​@0170barney fabric could grab get caught and pull your hand right in. Keep your hands away from blade if at all possible.

[@0170barney]

@@jjsrt8 that's what I thought, but just wanted to clarify. Thanks for explaining

[@justlooking4771]

Yikes, don’t put your wrists over the blade, please! 😢 Use something to push the wood through.

[@ESG13]

Good job!
A lot of people that have there advice and corrections to spill.
Probably don’t know how to build a bird box. 😂😂😂

[@caseylumgolf157]

Where do you store the table saw?

[@Bigg_Redd]

Not hating or being a jackass.... but the only thing I kept thinking was "now i KNOW she's got an electric screwdriver somewhere around there!" 😅

[@40goose40]

I suspect the only reason the riving knife is in use is because you guys don't know it's removable

[@KevanRice]

Sounds like shitin a vw dootr

[@yOnKiNaToR]

I wish people like this who clearly arent profficient at wood working stop releasing videos. It teaches poor habits or techniques, especially when they are safety related. I know everyone wants to be a UA-cam star, but put in your 10+ years of quality wood working first. Then come back and add value on the youtube.

[@amaiaamaiaa]

no glooovveessss with any rotating blades 🫢

Gloves!!! 🤦‍♂️

Do u have a link for the pocket hole device?

Why pocket holes?!!!

[@banjerlegs3051]

To screw the boards together
