Hello everyone,

I got home around 5pm today and nuked a couple of cabbage rolls for dinner. At 6pm I headed out to the garage to start galooing up some

doors.

Somehow I managed to get 14 doors glued up before 8pm.

Good thing there were only 14 doors as I used every clamp I have.

One special door and 4 glass doors and I am done making doors for my parents kitchen!

Then onto crown and kickplate...

David.

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

David I know what you mean about "enough clamps"! The door panels really look nice. How are you going to finish them?

Lookin' good, David! That's a lot of work for a relatively short period of time.:) I'm anxious to see the rest of the project! BTW, "cabbage rolls"??? I assume you're a one-man shop???:D (Sorry...couldn't resist!):D :cool:

Those look really nice David. What kind of style and rail cutters and panel raiser are you using?

David, it looks like a ton of work there, but I'm sure it will pay off bigtime. Looks great so far. Keep it up!

David I know what you mean about "enough clamps"!Actually, he's got a couple of dozen more.
Problem is, last time he saw them they were on the floor just downwind from the planer.:eek:

did you use space balls for spacing the pannels?

Yes, My parents kitchen has been over two years in the making. I have a very time consuming full time job, doing a large kitchen job a few hours at a time has been quite hard.

I don't have any spray equipment so I am sending them out to a local cabinet shop that does very good work for decent prices. I am the sales manager for a very large woodworking machinery dealer in Southwestern Ontario so I know most of the shop guys in our area.

LOML is a great cook, but my tools are in my folks garage as I don't have a place here where I can work. I head over to my folks place once or twice a week after my day job to work on the kitchen. My folks are in China for a month right now so I just dug through the freezer to see what I could Nuke :).


Those look really nice David. What kind of style and rail cutters and panel raiser are you using?

I am using a CMT standard quarter round profile for the rail and stile. Mom wanted a flat panel, and since I hate how rattlie (sp?) 1/4" ply doors sound, I am using an about 7/16" solid hard maple panel raised on the back with a cove cutter. It looks like a flat panel on the front, but with the raise on the back, it is flush with the R&S on the back. It is much more costly with the solid panel, but I like it much more.

Akshully, I had *just* enough k-body type clamps for the 14 doors, I even had to break out the 80" ones for the last door. :)

No I did not. I don't quite get the use for them as a properly fitting panel does not require them.

Thanks everyone for your comments, I will keep updating as I progress...

David.
