How to make a shaker style cabinet door. They’re easy and way cheaper than buying them premade.
I used common pine boards and 1/4” plywood and ran the rails and stiles thru my table saw twice to create the dado cut for the plywood to slot into. Then used glue and pocket hole screws to attach together.
REMEMBER:
height of your door is the length of your stiles
Width of your door is length of your rails + the width of your stile x2
TIP: I found that if I used an 8” wide board, measured and cut the lengths for the rails and stiles first on my miter saw, and then ripped those boards down to two 3” wide pieces on my table saw - the lengths for those two sets were identical giving me perfectly squared doors when built.
EQUATION for middle panel:
Height: length of stiles - (width of rail x2) + (depth of dado cut x2)
Width: length of rails + (depth of dado cut x2)
