Building Doors

No matter what kind of cabinet you're building, it's the doors that get most of the attention.

Everyone can see the doors – so you want them to be attractive. And everyone will interact with them, too – so you want them to be sturdy and functional.

In this new DVD on Building Doors, master woodworker Andy Rae shows you how to build all kinds of doors – each with its own unique style and functionality – depending on how you plan to use a particular cabinet.

Because each type of door is built for its own specific application, it requires slightly different skills, techniques and procedures. And they're all demonstrated here – with clear, close-up shots of every detail, step-by-step instructions and lots of inside tips from a real pro.

Here are some of the topics you'll learn about in this comprehensive DVD.
