Thanks Stick...had to C&P the link...maybe one of the Admins can hyperize it.

Interesting piece but tell me why in creation would you need two mitre gauges to do a crosscut?

less deflection...

instant sled...

I thought glueing the panel in place was a no-no.

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.

The use of an ATB blade on the stub tenons was my only concern.  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.

If making loose panels from ply or solid, space balls or rubberized glass sealing rope will do the trick. No rattles.

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.

If we're talking quick and dirty, this is how I've been making doors for shop cabinets...................

 

Door frame using pocket screws

Cut a rabbet on the back, around the opening, and to the depth of the plywood panel

Cut the plywood panels to size and radius the corners to match the rabbet in the frame
