Flip the door over again and begin to cut and install the three backer pieces that complete the "T" for the glass and run from muntin to muntin.These pieces back the face piece. Glue and clamp until dry.

Finally, flip the door face up one more time and cut and install the remainder of the face pieces.You can install all the pieces at one time, without allowing each piece to dry.You're limited only by the number of clamps you own, but don't work so fast that things get sloppy. PW

RABBETED MORTISE-AND-TENON DOORS

After cutting the mortises just as in the simple version, the first step in the more complex method is to create the 5/i6" x V2" rabbet on the inside edge of all the door pieces. I simply make the cuts in two passes on the table saw (A). Next, define the shoulder of the face cheek on the tenon. Set the blade so it just clears into the rabbet (B). Now move the fence location 5/i6" closer to the blade and make the second shoulder cut, creating an offset of the cuts (C). With the fence at the same location, create the edge shoulder (D). Finally, cut the cheeks, remembering that there are two different cheek lengths (E).
