Now for the
door. My first step is to cut a rebate in some more oak I have prepared.
I'll do this over on the tablesaw. You can see the area to be cut out,
i've shaded it in - Just for you !
I set my tablesaw up
to cut the first part. Please note, I've had to remove my guard to perform
this operation. Please read my disclaimer
before you do the same.
ALWAYS use a push stick
!
Here I am making the
second pass. After this pass a small section will have been removed.
Here is my rebate. I have
rebated a long length of timber. This is MUCH safer on the tablesaw than
doing shorter bits (i.e. - The parts for the door)
I'm going to use half lap
joints to join the 4 door parts together. This is the size the door will
be when i've finally finished. For a specific how to guide on the lap
joint click here
Here we are at the
tablesaw roughing out the lap joint. Again i've taken the guard off and
would like you to read my disclaimer
before you do the same ! After doing this I will clean it out with a chisel.
Here i'm applying
my glue to the joint. I'm using the same foaming poly gorilla glue as
I did earlier !
Lot's of clamps !
The way to clamp this is clam it in 3 directions. Side to side, front
to back and pressure downwards on each of the joins.
Again, i'm removing all
of the hardened foam with a nice SHARP chisel !
Here (With my guard
back on) I'm cutting the thing wood for the panel which will sit in
the rebate. The panel is made of solid cherry. I like the contrast of
the 2 colours.
