June 18, 20188 yr comment_151908 Exactly the way I do it, except for cutting the tenons on the router table - cleaner cheek cuts, plus I can leave the TS set up for cutting the grooves (just in case). And, I glue the plywood panels in as there's no concern if wood movement unlike with a solid wood panel. Report

Does not leave a lot of good surfaces for glue. Gluing in the plywood will help. Q&D - quick & dirty accurately describes this. I rarely use a miter gauge -- usually a sliding cross-cut table. Report

June 18, 20188 yr comment_151937 Thank you Stick I'll keep that for further reference. I have built doors like that but always looking for better ways to build. Might have to give it a try. I have also never glued the plywood in the doors. Report
