Putting together the last of the doors for my current kitchen project, I somehow had overlooked cutting the stiles for 2 doors on the pantry unit (the unit has 3 pair of doors with each pair a different height). I had it on my cut list just simply overlooked it.......no problem, everything was still set up and the jigs were already made.
So I checked the size of the door as shown on the list, cut the appropriate length of stiles, cut the mortises, cut the jack miter, routed the bead, cut the grove for the panel and assembled with the already cut rails. Went to cross the last of the doors off my list and my jaw hit the floor, you guessed it made them the wrong size. What I had done is look at the wrong line on my list I actually had the sizer of the door right however when figuring the total number of like size pieces I wrote directly below the pantry unit cut the length/quantity of the rails needed 9 3/8" - 12 , you guessed it I was neededing 12 pcs 9 3/8" long WHICH I HAD, but in my haste to get these wrapped up I saw that that line wasn't highlighted showing it to be complete and took it to be the finished size of the DOOR not seeing the ACTUAL door size above it 13 1/4" X ..........................
You know, as you can tell in how I stopped typing the above sentence, I REALLY HAD MY HEAD UP MY REAR-END ON THIS ONE :mad::mad::mad::o !!!!!!!
Oh well steam vented, got to get out there and cut ALL the pieces for a couple of doors and assemble them but at least I do have sample doors in this pattern now :D.
