What happens here

The presenter explains the measurement process for the intermediate door. Take the total desired width of the cabinet door, subtract the combined thickness of the two vertical stiles, and then add 3/4 of an inch (representing 3/8 inch for each tenon that will fit into the mortises). This calculation ensures proper fit for the mortise and tenon joints.

Goal: Measure and cut the stiles and rails for the door frame. Determine the rail length by subtracting the thickness of the two stiles from the total door width, then adding 3/4 inch (for the tenons on each side).

Tools and materials

  • Pencil
  • Tape Measure
  • Wood (for stiles and rails)
