Kitchen progress, Pretty Door! (w/pics)

Afternoon All,

Here is a little update on the doors and drawer fronts for my parents kitchen,

An awkward cut, raising the end of a very long narrow panel. Used a roller stand.

Rasing the rest of the panels wwas much easier, expecially with the help of a power feeder,

I made two jigs for the cope cuts, one for each end of the rails. I just made the jig, I had been free handing copes with a push block for the last 5 years, this is *much* nicer,

I never thought a door could look so pretty, but here is a single door that is supposed to look like two. It will be the front for the pull out pantry, I took 10 different photos, but none really turned out to show just how nice the door looks. There is a 3/8" wide, 3/16" deep dado in the centre of the middle rail to divide the doors.

A couple of drawer fronts in clamps. Notice the one odd door, that is the front for the lazy susan (full height of undercounter cabinet). I will run a dado from side to side in it to make it look like a seperate drawer front and cupboard door.

Every neighbourhood has one, in mine, I'm him.

Really looks good! What kind of wood is it? Keep posting the pictures along the way. I need all the ideas I can get. Jim.

David -

Very nice. Your folks will be really proud of those!

Doing the end of the long panel looks like a challenge. I'm sure it would have tried to rotate on me. Built a jig similar to yours a while back. Sure makes life a lot easier, doesn't it?

Well done,
Ted

Those are going to be some nice looking cabinets. A lot of thought has gone into your design and it shows!

Love the doors!! Power feeder, huh? I might have to look into those.

The wood is maple.
