What happens here

Using a router table equipped with a 2-piece cabinet/shaker door router bit set, mill the rail (horizontal) and stile (vertical) pieces from lumber to create the frame for the door and drawer faces. The first bit cuts the tenon on the rail ends, and the second bit cuts the mortise (or groove) into the stiles and rail edges, as well as the decorative profile. Apply wood glue to the tenon and mortise joints, then assemble the frames. Use clamps to hold the pieces tightly together while the glue dries, ensuring square corners and strong joints.

Goal: Use specialized router bits to create rail and stile components, then assemble them with glue and clamps to form shaker-style door and drawer faces.

What they say

Hide

faces themselves now what i have here is a two piece cap and shaker door router bits so what you see here is a tenon that is red and then over here this little black channel is a mortise a hole or a slot for it so all these parts that are going horizontally are called rails and everything vertical is called a style so all the rails will have a tenant on the end of it and then all the styles including the rails are going to have a mortise going completely around it for everything to fit together including the center panel [Music] all right all the pieces got cut let's start assembling [Music]
