As the "old" doors were looking rather bad.. Flat, plywood panels...someone had tried to make a bifold out of the bottom 2...hinges are junk...jambs are chewed up...and these do not match the rest of the cabinets in the Bathroom.. So..Moose & Squirrel Delivery LTD dropped of page #1 of The Plan... For one of the 2 bottom doors,,,details.. Going with Raised Panels...for a Frame & Panel Door....since the main doors to the Bathroom .... Are also 4 panel Frame & Panel doors Decided to at least mill the raised panels first...from a pair of 7/8" x 9-3/4 x 61" planks.. Need 16 raised panels, for all 4 doors Means I had to haul those two 1 x 10s to the shop..and cut both down to 30" lengths.. Circular saw tried...but, between holding the saw and support 31" of cut-off...we can do better.. Then trim the nasty stuff off the bad ends.. Handsome, isn't he? next..I needed to rip these 4 slabs down a bit.. Then run the cut-off through, as both were tapered a bit..stack these aside for a bit.. While I reset the saw...need to cut these exactly in the center... And stack these aside for a bit.. Live edge MIGHT still get used, we'll see. Reset the saw quite a bit.. Raised the blade all the way up, lay the Zero Clearance Overly over the blade...tilt the blade 15 degrees...add the rip fence at 1/2" away from where the blade comes up through...make sure the fence is square..we are able ready? Stand each blank vertically on an end, run the blank through, rotate 90 degrees, run a long edge through ( straight through, do not pause nor slow down,,you will get burn marks) rotate, run the other end through, and finally..run the other long edge through..repeat the above 15 times.. And wind up with 16 Raised Panels...which will get a rebate all the way around on the "inside" face... Next up? Stiles...hauled 2 planks to the shop, trimmed the bad ends until each plank was 45" long...then, rip right down the center.. And wind up with 4 stiles...clamped up to keep them as flat as I can...will be part of a Road Trip...taking them and 6 other planks to a Friend of mine's Barn...where he has a 12" Delta Lunch Box Planer...as all of them are way too thick...need all to be planed down to 3/4" thick... We have work to do.. Page #2... And, I am waiting on Page #3... Stay tuned..
