Cope and stick doors are usually done with a shaper or router bit set, but in this video I show how to do it using just the table saw. Not the fastest or easiest, but certainly doable and the results can be outstanding. See the build article for more details: ibuildit.ca/projects/raised-panel-doors-on-the-table-saw/
I always enjoy looking back at the old shop. See what tools are still going and the ones that are gone, the one constant is your ingenuity and outside the box thinking. Thanks for sharing and take care!!
Had woodshop in HS back in 1981-82 and although I didn't do cope and stick, I did do the raised panel inserts. I actually got to use a doweling jig and then rabbeted in the back of the door frame a groove for the insert. Then chisel the corners to square them up. Oh how bad I was when I started, yet even to this day still practicing to get better. Surprising how much I got to do back then and in a time today where wood shop has been all but removed from the school system, it is what I "live" for. I love the art of the craft. Thanks, John
This was great to see John. I definitely wouldn’t have ever thought to have made doors in that fashion. I’ll have to give that a try the next time I make any cope and stick cabinet doors except I would probably use a tenoning jig of some sort or at the very least attach a piece of plywood or mdf to my fence to make it taller to give more support for the panel and the cuts on the ends. This will definitely make any doors that I do in the future much nicer as I can’t afford nor justify the cost of the router bit set to have for the use for making a door once in a while. The doors that I have made in the past have just had a basic flat panel and the rails and styles have just been connected with either a simple single tongue and groove joint or pocket hole screws. I have learned a lot from your channel over the years of being a subscriber and I am very grateful for all that you have shared and thank you once again for sharing this great tip.
This is how you identify with your viewers. Use methods and tools that us commoners have. Everyone doesn't have a top of line CNC table. Excellent work/content.
This is why I stay subscribed to this channel, great content, well explained and somehow I feel by learning this I’ve screwed over people selling stuff I don’t need.
Once again, you teach us to think outside the box. The issue I have is that I am nowhere your talent level so it takes me a lot longer to make things, but as always your video's do not disappoint. John, I believe you are one of the most talented on the net regarding woodworking. Thanks for sharing.
Thumb up for preciese and clean cuts. One aditional point for your approach is why here in Europe in home workshoops we mostly have 8mm shaft routers. Big profile router bits requires most powerfull routers with 1/2 chuk.
Really liked your presentation on making the cabinet doors. I have been casting about for a style to use and yours is just right for my home application. Thanks for the video. Tony
I was once told by an old woodworker that his most versatile power tool was the table saw so much that it was his only power tool. You’ve proved his point today.
I agree that the router bits are super expensive. I guess one would have to way the cost over the use. If I were in the cabinet making business the bits would be the way to go. But not if I'm only going to be making cabinets for my home or shop. The clean crisp look of your method is refreshing. Thanks.
Thx to put it here , it will help ppl to do it another way then with hand tools or router bits 👍🏼🇨🇦 But when was this recorded your table saw and your shop is not the same ? 😁😜
Router bits are not only cost factor. Those also need resharpening after 50-100 feet of material depending on thickness those had to work on, so unless you keen with resharpening those and then dial all back. Table saw is more efficient all around.
John didn't you do one using a table saw to do a cove panel? If not could you cover this in a video please as I like doing cove cuts on a table saw vs using a router because it is faster and safer. IMO
I don't totally agree with you when you said it was a fairly labor intensive way to make these doors vs. the router bit set. I have done the cope and stick bit set, and unless you dedicate 3 routers to the process, you still need to do an extraordinary amount of fiddling and calibration. I really like what you have done here.
Nice method, but hard for me to understand the different views of the drawing. Which part is which view. The 12 degrees angle on your drawing I don't understand. is that the raised panel? it doesn't mention those details. I miss the extra front view from the frame too, since I don't see the side-bevel on the rail board. I think it would help to make close up pics from different sides since its easy to make mistakes which side to cut to what angle. The complicated part is the corner cuts of the top and bottom rails. I need to see how it looks like from all angles including on the back.
Really like the style of build - Not everyone's got a router table at home (i.e. me), so thanks for sharing this method! IMHO it also looks better than the "standard" routed parts... By the way: quick question, how old is this video? No only is the quality way below what we've seen for a while, but also the audio is kinda dull...
Very interesting video, your video has taught me some more table saw tricks. Thanks for your time that you have put into your videos. @Turkey Hollow Timber Beams & Woodworks @Projects, Adventures & Farm life

Thanks John I thought you did one with a cove, I use a 5 inch blade for a narrower cove that a 10 inch blade.

John, my dad and I are not finish carpenters and this is how we made the doors for our cabinets. Yes, it did take a while, but the look was great!!!!

John, you method rivals anything done with the expensive router bits. Nicely done!
it's good to see the shop before a bunch of builds including the saw-this is the method i used for a shop cabinet thanks for the review
Very well thought out and clever use of the table saw.
Damn this is a ninja master class on using table saw for everything you could possibly do with wood working.
Please sir, you must pet me 🤩

What better way to think outside the box than to build a door? 😜
John's memories? Always up to date... Greetings from Portugal
Look at that beautiful tool wall
I know, right? Whatever happened to that...
Precision cutting. Nice.
Back in time with the old table saw and the tool rack on the back wall…..!!!

Wow, those are some profound table saw techniques. True carpentry skills! Kudos!
Hiii friend 🤝🤝
2 snaps up in a circle! nice job, as always
I would imagine that you are somewhere between Einstien and Hawking on the genius scale! You never cease to amaze me.
Nice job on the fancy raised panel door John! Thanks for always sharing with us!💖👍😎JP
Thanks John, this is awesome!
Love the tenon jig, makes me regret installing the Incra TS fence. John, your content continues to inform and entertain. Thanks for keeping it going.
there are so many ways to make a cabinet door. i like this one.
I was once told by an old woodworker that his most versatile power tool was the table saw so much that it was his only power tool. You’ve proved his point today.
this encourages me. I just could not figure out how to cut a panel on my table saw without a router bit. this is cool.
John! Love what you did here! Thank you
I loved the style of this video, excellent resource on panel making!
This is a fantastic tutorial, thank you!
Very nice John
Very Nicely Done!
Very nice. Makes me feel like even I could do this. Thanks for sharing.
This is phenomenal! Thanks John!
This would look awesome as a gift box, having these panels all around! Don't throw your sample in the bin! :)
Thanks Jhon!
That’s door shape looks berry nice
Always making a difference 👍
Learned a lot! In combination of other technic, a good way to go. Thanks :)

Very nice! Thank you!
Helpful video John.👍👍
Great teacher
Thank You.
It looks great.
Great idea 👍😎🤚
Pretty ingenious. I wouldn't have figured that out.
Thanks
Thx to put it here , it will help ppl to do it another way then with hand tools or router bits 👍🏼🇨🇦 But when was this recorded your table saw and your shop is not the same ? 😁😜
GREAT vid!
Too cool for school!!!
Excellent.
Woodworking is obviously good for you. It makes you younger. :D
*EXCELLENT* 😍
fantastico, muito obrigado por compartilhar esse conhecimento
Was this video about the panel door construction or about the shop in the background? I ask because we saw more of the latter than the former.
Buen trabajo te quedo perfecto. 👍
I will never do this but it was really interesting.
Very nice! What happened to the table saw you built?
Router bits are not only cost factor. Those also need resharpening after 50-100 feet of material depending on thickness those had to work on, so unless you keen with resharpening those and then dial all back. Table saw is more efficient all around.
Nice cabinet door for a Hobbit. Great video John, thumbs up.
Excelente ejemplo 👌

John is that a custom built fence?
How did you end up finishing them? Just a shellac?
Nice video John! A bit of a throwback to old times. When did you film this? That tenon jig looks very handy for scary people like me :)
I don't totally agree with you when you said it was a fairly labor intensive way to make these doors vs. the router bit set. I have done the cope and stick bit set, and unless you dedicate 3 routers to the process, you still need to do an extraordinary amount of fiddling and calibration. I really like what you have done here.
Good point.
Well that's just adoorable.
Mantap
Yep, for a one-off it does take a bit longer... but as you say if you are making a number of them it is just 4 more passes per item per step.
old video, but great video
You're getting younger every time, John. (Yeah, I know... Sorry 😬)
Anyway, thanks for all the tips!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

By the way: quick question, how old is this video?
No only is the quality way below what we've seen for a while, but also the audio is kinda dull...
is this a throwback vid or the magic of hair dye?
and the name of this bit set and link to buy it please?
Why, you don't need them?
@@KipdoesStuff because a man has to have his tools.. I like tools. So what is the name of the bits then? I care less if they be 100 bucks a piece
👍
Молодец удачи и успехов тебе,, Иисус тоже был плотником!
👍👏
Why do you keep switching your table saw?
judging by how much younger he looks in this video, i would guess this is at least 3-4 years old.. probably a repost
2016
Older video, why?
Originally posted on his 2nd channel in 2016
Why doesn't everyone make these panels this way?
Dejavu
My saw is simply not capable of this🤣. Janky ryobi rts10g
Let me guess, you built a wooden time machine?
Finger weg von der Säge, John!
This looks like an older video. That's definitely not the tablesaw you made.
From 2016 and posted on my second channel.
I think editing and lighting are a big part of that, already pretty solid here, but the newer videos just move to whole another level.
not complaining but color seems off in this vid for some reason
Its 5 years old.
@@KipdoesStuff Ooooh... lol that makes sense.
