Love this. I picked up some free cabinets and when I took off the doors and sanded one of them down -it’s solid maple-thick. I don’t like the raised panel -I hope I can sand it down even with the backdrop
I appreciate your video. It's a simpler process than I had thought it would be (which relieves my anxiety!). After modifying a cabinet door, the ideal is that it's not only squared, it's also that the change/modification is not at all obvious. You certainly achieved that - you did a totally professional job.
This is so helpful! I bought a bunch of $3 maple shaker doors at Habitat for Humanity. The doors are bigger than the sizes I need so that I can resize them. I was trying to wrap my mind around just how to preceed and this is so helpful!
Interior wooden panels will expand and contract, especially ACROSS the wood grain, with temperature and humidity changes. Gluing as depicted here restricts this natural movement, so there is a risk that the interior panel will eventually crack-vertically. The crack may afterwards open and close, depending on temperature and humidity. Much safer to use only a spot of glue at both centers ... exactly where the pin nails were placed, so expansion can occur unrestricted on both sides of the pin-with-glue. This should help us to understand why the original panel was never glued in the first place.
Hello! I'm in the Detroit area, and I need some kitchen cabinets resized. Some to be made smaller (narrower) and some to be widened. Any person/company that you can recommend? Thanks very much!
You can't go wrong with the Kreg Hinge Jig here: www.kregtool.com/shop/cabinet-solutions/cabinet-drawer-shelf-jigs/concealed-hinge-jig/KHI-HINGE.html?gclid=CjwKCAjwxZqSBhAHEiwASr9n9NnU5QU1dlefPfkOYfPseRGVL2cElFVWQCvbocU57o2cgIUepLiT5xoCHj4QAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
You didn’t talk about how you pull the panel if glued and you didn’t show how you separated the the rails from the stile on the cut part - that would have been helpful.

needing to do this and you explained it in a way that is simple and easy to understand. Thank you.
Great job. Well explained. Thanks
You're welcome!
The pin nails that you put into the rail to secure the cope/stick joint should have gone into the stile so the nail crosses the cope tongue.
Nice Vid, The doors I rescued from the trash has glass panels (hopefully not tempered).
I'm wondering how I can do this but only need to shorten by 1 inch. any suggestions ? thanks.

How do you cut the recessed hole for the hardware?
That was my question too

How did you finish the ends of the stiles that you cut off?
We used a water-based poly to finish the freshly cut areas
I've heard good feedback about the Woodglut plans.
