What happens here

A custom door is built using a sheet of maple plywood. Lines are marked on the plywood, and a track saw is used to make multiple partial cuts across the entire surface, creating a slatted, decorative effect. To prevent the door from warping, a frame is constructed from 1 1/2 inch plywood strips, glued and screwed to the back of the slatted panel using pocket holes. This frame adds significant strength and rigidity. The door is then installed in the pantry opening using hinges, and a door handle is attached. The hinges are screwed into the newly installed door jambs and the door frame, allowing for smooth operation.

Goal: A custom slatted door is built from maple plywood and reinforced with a frame to prevent warping, then installed with hinges and a handle.

so the last thing that we need to get ready and built on this pantry to finish it is the door my budget alternative plus a technique that one experiment with includes just using a sheet of maple plywood it's all in my head I've never tried it before we're gonna give it a go let me show what I mean let's get started alright so this will be interesting so I've made lines across this entire plane and then on each line I'm gonna take my track saw and cut all the way through stopping where these borders are to give that cold retro look never done this so looks kind of bland but you know I got something up my sleeve I figured that we cut up some inch and a half strips plywood and then secure it like a frame that'll also strengthen the door from bending I literally came up with this idea last minute I'm really excited so I'm gonna flip this thing over create some pocket holes and that way I could secure this on the sides and then put our bracket that will be our hinge that's gonna be swing it open so pretty excited I was really worried about finding solution but I'm pretty excited about this
