Taunton - Building Doors with Andy Rae (2009) [Repost]

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 video 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:

* Design variations
* First build the cabinet
* Sizing the doors to the case
* Creating door joints
* Making breadboard doors, frame-and-panel doors, cope-and-stick doors, and simple glass doors
* Smoothing a door
* Choosing hinges
* Hanging a door
* Handles, pulls, latches, catches and stops

Whether you're a trim carpenter or a weekend woodworker interested in building your skills, this valuable video will give you all the advice you need to create any kind of cabinet door.
