well, i got my first request for a job making ultra-narrow rail and stile shaker doors. it was bound to happen, but i've been secretly hoping it wouldn't.
these need to be walnut, so "cut them on the CNC out of a slab of MDF isn't the answer i'm going for.
does anyone have guidance on making these? i have tooling for all varieties of cope and stick, and the equipment to make just about anything, but i honestly don't know the best approach for these. obviously the issue is the hardware. i'd like to use concealed euro hinges, which, best to my knowledge, require a minimum thickness. so, is the answer to do standard cope and stick, but make the doors 1 1/4" thick and use thick-door hinges?
any guidance is very much appreciative. this is a good client, it's a great job, and i need to get her a price, and this is the wildcard.
