Great process. Thanks for sharing it. For the right customer it’s not about the cost, it’s the quality that matters. Sure you could get these doors cheaper from a production shop, but the quality of materials & workmanship wouldn’t be the same.
That's exactly how I gauge what I will build and what I will order in. This client was willing to pay for a higher quality of doors. I could definitely get them from my supplier cheaper. But what fun is that 😁
@@henrymostert2125 that is genius. I will be getting a second one soon (I was going to leave a dado in it for shaker frames, and this task). As always, love the content.
We build them with the rabbit too, but we either use a dado stack or the router table depending. This is a nice way to get it done without switching blades or machines. A few setup blocks would make your method fast.
What type of finish would you put on those doors now? I have a set of cabinets to make and I like your process for the shaker doors. I was thinking about using a hard wax oil finish like Osmo PolyX.
I used oil on a project a few months ago. I had not used it to that point. I really like how it went on, very forgiving. Im going to use a spray stain fast wipe. Then a spray coat of sealer, the two eurothane top coats. Its a bullet proof finish.

Nothing replaces the self satisfaction of doing your own work. It's worth a million bucks. Money can;t replace that feeling.
... I kept watching, you changed blades, I think the router or the dado stack are faster.
I actually used two table saws this way if I had to adjust a piece, I didn't have to take down the setup

Hi Robin. It never gets old. I still love cutting and fitting wood.
Great videos. Keep them going. 👍
Thanks for the encouragement Ian. I hope some of the content is helpful.

Thats s good point. I think set up blocks would take a lot of the measuring out of it. The next time I do this im going to add that to the setup
