I Built An Expensive Home Depot Vanity For $300
What happens here
Cut primed 1x3 pine boards for the stiles and rails of the two cabinet doors. Use a router to create the necessary profiles (e.g., cope and stick, or simply a rabbet for the panel). Cut 1/4-inch MDF panels to fit as the floating inserts for the shaker doors. Assemble the door frames using wood glue and clamps, ensuring squareness. Insert the MDF panels into the routed grooves. The MDF panels allow for a flawless paint finish without wood imperfections.
Goal: Fabricate shaker-style doors for the main cabinet opening using primed pine boards and an MDF panel for the floating insert, routing the edges for a clean look.
