Well here they are, All 45 of them ;D      Took a few days but i think they turned out well  I took advise from Scrit and Jfc opting for the pinned scribe joint. I used this cutter for the tennons/tongues,    Excellent bit of kit, although scared the s**t out of me when i switched the router on ;D. But it cut the tennons with ease. Routed the grooves on the stiles with one of these slot cutters (shown with a second cutter added for another job)  The grooves where 1/4 " x1/2"deep again cut with ease. Panels are 1/2" thick rebated to 1/4" to fit the groove, some plain and some with a V groove. Finished with danish oil and wax. Just have to fit them now  ;D Cheers, Gazza. Whats happened to the pics ?? |

Wow! I thought I had been busy when I finished a run of 12 kitchen cupboard type doors for my workshop.
Looks Good Gazza - quite a change to the design from when this first came up but a darn sight easier to make this way.
Thanks for sharing
PS I spotted the Norm shirt in your pics!!

Super job Gazza. I bet the finishing was a pretty boring job on that number of doors. The tenon cutter looks good, but what setup did you use on the router table and was there any issues with the amount of passes before you got to full depth?

I bet the finishing was a pretty boring job on that number of doors. Thats the beauty of danish oil Philip, slap it on then wipe it off ;D Same with the wax The tenon cutter looks good, but what setup did you use on the router table and was there any issues with the amount of passes before you got to full depth? This pic shows the fence i used, big lump of doug fir. although it has a different cutter in it you can see where the tennon cutter was. I also attached a sacrifical fence on each side to cover the cutter.   The tennons were cut on a home made sliding table. they are only 1/2" deep so were cut in one pass. Pretty easy to set up and fast ;D |

Getting the hang of these doors now that i have the workshop up and running, Heres another i knocked up yesterday    Hung it today, took all of about 10 Min's, no planing at all, perfect fit ;D Just had to check out the hinges. What a joy, and paid as well In fact I'm getting a bit more work, as the word spreads,  Another wee pile i machined today for a couple of bookcases  Downside is i haven't had a day off in 4 weeks, but its very enjoyable work !! Cheers, Gazza. |

Gazza, you certainly look to have the making of the small tenons sorted with the setup, and I certainly could be interested in buying a cutter as the radial arm method I use at present is somewhat slow and not a finished job  Thanks for posting the pictures. Philip |

I don't want to put a spanner in the works, but a 12mm tenon on such a large door, I can't see lasting too long. The stresses that the joints go under with air pressures may not seem much but will slightly distort the door when opening and closing. Plus the larger you go, the closing style obviously gets heavier and gravity will pull it down, which will add to the stress on the joints. It looks like it ai'nt full size but if your using it for you closet Im sure it will be used on a regular basis.

a 12mm tenon on such a large door, I can't see lasting too long. Sorry for the bum steer, The oak door is made with 3" tennons on the stiles. The 1/2" tennons are made on the much lighter cabinet doors. Cheers, Gazza. |
