How To Make Shaker Cabinet Doors (KINDA EASY!)

I have been making A LOT of cabinet doors recently and in this video I show you my method for how to make shaker cabinet doors. I prefer to make mine using a router table for several reason, biggest being that the dust collection on my router table is pretty good so it doesn't make a mess in the shop. I also think the router table is more repeatable and you can get all sorts of different style router bits to spice up your doors and drawer faces!

These doors are made from solid poplar with a 1/4 maple panel.
(1:44) Break down material on the miter saw
(1:53) Thickness using the planer down to 3/4"
(2:17) Joint one side square
(2:41) Cut to just over 2" on the table saw
(3:05) Edge sand to 2" using the drum sander
(3:31) Route groves on all rails and styles on the router table
(4:15) Cut rails to final length on miter saw
(4:32) Route tongues on all rails using router table
(4:52) Cut panels on table saw
(5:28) Assemble doors
(6:21) Drum sand for perfect flatness (optional)
(6:56) Finish (Optional)
