Sunday morning came early as we started at 8:00 AM to complete the second day of our two-day class and to build our wall cabinets. (See Day 1). Case glue-ups were completed; door rails and stiles cut to size and processed to receive the raised panels; and panel stock joined, planed and glued up before lunch. After sizing panel blanks to fit the door frames, panels were raised on the McDaddy shaper -- one pass per edge using the power feeder produced more chips than all other work all weekend and a complete panel in about a minute! After inserting "space balls" in the stile grooves, the doors were glued up and then passed through the Woodmaster drum sander to get a final smoothing before hinge installation and final assembly.

1) Cabinet casework in glue-up has dried overnight
2) John scribbles as attentive students Dave and Andy strive to read it!
3) McRabbet chats with Andy while awaiting his turn on the Oliver jointer -- Marty joins his rail and stile stock
4) Lunch is next as panels dry in their clamps after glue-up
5) Some one obviously cracked a good line!
6) Larry Mallett cuts his door frame rails and stiles to length
7) John sets up the coping bit with a set-up block on the router table
8) and makes a sample cut to insure correct position
9) Chips fly as the 5HP shaper raises a panel in one pass/side under the power feeder -- a panel raised in one minute!
10) After inserting space balls in the stile grooves to accept wood expansion, doors were glued up and passed through the Woodmaster drum sander at 150 grit to smooth the full door.
A great day and weekend ended with brooms collecting the chips and copious thanks to John for a great class -- two days very well spent and chocked full of great woodworking information. Thanks John!
