To begin the muntin section of the doors, find the shelf locations on your project's case (generally the glass dividers align with the shelves) and mark these on the edges of the door. Cut the backer material to run from side to side. These pieces divide the glass area horizontally. The fit should be snug, but not so tight as to bow the frame. Glue the backer piece into the rabbet area and clamp until dry, usually about 30 minutes. Now flip the door over.The first face pieces to install are the pieces that run the full length, in this case the center piece that divides the glass area vertically into two sections, left and right.The piece again needs to be snug, but not too tight. Glue each end (as well as each area) where the face crosses the backers (two locations in this case).You'll notice that I have the door elevated on some jars.The contents aren't important, but the elevation is very helpful. SIMPLE MORTISE-AND-TENON DOORS Both methods of door frame construction begin with the mortises. Make your centered W'-wide mortise (for a 3/4"-thick door) 3A" shorter than the width of the door frame, leaving a 3/s" shoulder on either edge to ensure that the rabbet doesn't expose the joinery (A).Then simply cut the matching tenon and assemble the door frame (B).When the glue is dry, use a rabbeting bit in your router to create a 5/i6" x W'-deep rabbet on the inside back edge (C). Finally, square out the corners of the rabbets with a sharp chisel (D). 74 Popular Woodworking August 2002 |
