    Cutting solid core doors

    I am planning on making some workbenches using birch veneer solid core doors and have to cut some down. I planned on taping the cut line and prescoring with a knife. Any other suggestions to eliminate splintering of the paper thin veneer ? Thanks :wsmile:

    Dumb newbie question - cabinet doors

    I am going to be making a few simple cabinet doors using pocket screws. I want to put glass inserts in them. What is the best way to make the rabbet to accept the pane of glass?

    Hi all, Happy to report that my new barn/shop project is finally underway--the concrete crew has just about completed the formwork and hopefully they'll be ready to pour on Friday. I still haven't decided whether to use a sliding door (on tracks, sort of like the big door on Norm's shop) or...

    Corner cupboard progress--bottom doors

    My day job is pretty stressful and this project is how I relax. It is more of a journey than a destination. Sorry for the slow progress--it may take another year to finish. This weekend's task was to cut up the rails and stiles for the doors. I was able to get all pieces cut out of some...

    I have an appt. tomorrow to look at 27 'old historic' doors that the customer needs sanded to be paint ready. Knowing there may well be lead issues and that it's important that the wood not be damaged, I'm asking what may be the best tools/method to approach this? I have a good variety of...

    Raised Panel Doors; how flat for the panel?

    Please see the pictures below. I milled these panels (9 1/4" x 33") and had them flat and neatly stacked on my tablesaw. Went out of town for a week and came back to find them warped. :BangHead: Is this amount of cup/twist OK? Should I cut them down the middle, glue clamp and mill again? Does...

    Louvered Doors

    I am remodeling our bathroom and have made a built-in cabinet (between the studs). My wife asked me if it could have a louvered door. I said no as I have never made one and the prospect was not appealing - mostly because of time constraints. However, after some consideration, and thinking...

    Solid core doors?

    Would a solid core door with a faux raised panel look be of value to anyone? I would think that the depression created by the faux panel look could be easily filled with something like Bondo or Durham putty and a piece of hardboard laid over the top. Band the edges in hardwood and you could have...
