Scrap wood project. It actually turned out pretty good 👍 #woodworking #tools #diy
What happens here
Now, assemble the cabinet doors. Lay out the cut stiles and rails. Insert a thin flat panel (such as thin plywood or MDF) into the grooves created in the previous step. Apply wood glue to all the mating joints of the stiles and rails. Carefully bring the pieces together to form the door frame around the panel. Use appropriate clamps, like picture frame clamps or bar clamps with corner blocks, to apply even pressure and hold the door assembly square while the glue dries. The video shows this process with a single door being assembled.
Goal: Construct the complete cabinet doors with panels
Tools and materials
- Bar Clamps — Holding the door frame pieces together while glue dries
