I Built a $5,000 Mudroom for Under $1,700

What happens here

Prepare the wood for the mudroom doors. The creator explains a method for creating cabinet doors by shaping the edges of the wood using a router table, creating 'stile and rail' joints. This approach allows for making many doors efficiently. The wood is cut to size using a miter saw (Ryobi miter saw is seen). The specific type of wood used is 8-foot pine boards, 12 inches wide. The creator intends to make one sample door first to ensure all dimensions and routing are correct before mass production.

Goal: Cut and shape wood for cabinet doors, verifying dimensions with a sample
