How to make a Small Cabinet on a Stand - Part 2 Door Cores

Today I'll show you how I make the cores for the veneered cabinet doors.

The table saw really helps in this episode, although you could get along without one. The grooves for the splines could be cut by hand, with a router, or with a biscuit jointer.

If you have decided to go with panel or solid door construction, that's absolutely fine - watch this video, and the following one where I apply the veneer, to see how you might tackle other projects in the future.

I will point out that this is a method I came up with on my own, and one which has worked perfectly fine for me so far. I have since seen, and read, about a few different methods, all with their own advantages and disadvantages, so please don't feel you have to follow my method. Experiment, and stick with what works best for you.
