How to make simple frame and panel cabinet doors. No router or pocket screws needed. 

Hey I just wanted to say thankyou, I'm a 31 yr old male from Australia with 3 kids and watching your videos has inspired me so much, I've used sketchup and built a, sliding door and barn window for my single car space carport, and a solid workbench. Before watchin your videos i was always too worried to start due to perfectionist ideals, but watchin you and your casual approach and information it really inspired me to have a go. The only thing that stops me now is waiting for my pay to drop in so i can buy more wood. Thankyou so much, please keep doing what your doing, a true leader :)

So sorry for your loss Steve. Princess Meow Meow was a beauty.

My condolences on the passing of Princess Meow-Meow. She'll be missed.

Here's thanking you and your family for giving Princess Meow-Meow a beautiful home where she could enjoy a long and happy life ♥️ She was always clearly content and grateful in her own kitty ways.

Hey Steve, nicely done as always. I'm sorry to hear of the passing of Princess Meow-Meow. It is always hard to lose a pet. We'll certainly miss seeing her in your videos.

Now I'm crying... She will be sorely missed. Thank you for the video,Steve. I sent it to my brother in Brasil who does not have all the tools.

I’ll miss Princess Meow-Meow’s guest appearances. My condolences, Steve.

FYI Steve this video showed first in my Recommended section.

Very sorry for your loss. She will always be a part of the community through her appearances in videos. Thank you for sharing her with all of us.

I'm so sorry for your loss 😔 My heart goes out to you, your family, and all who loved her ❤ sleep in peace princess 🐈

Condolences to your family on the loss of your wonderful pet. 15 is a nice long time for a kitty, especially one who had such a loving home. I see from all the comments, she had a lot of fans here (myself included). Thank you for sharing her with us!

Saw this come up in my recommendations and was really excited! New WWMM video! Also looking forward to the minimalist shop tour! And then the end card. My heart sank. To some, pets are just animals. To others, they're family. So sorry for your loss.

My wife and I watch every video, have been for years. We always search for Meow Meow sightings. I hope a nice shelter find comes into you lives.

Thanks Steve. I don’t really have the need (or space) for a router table, but I do occasionally make shaker style panel doors. This video has been very helpful. Thanks for taking the time to demonstrate how it’s done. Sincerely, satisfied subscriber.

Sorry to hear/see about the loss of your princess. Thank you for you videos and information you provide

I LOVE THE "REAL SPEED" BADGE SO MUCH!!!!!! My husband and I literally paused the video to go back and re watch the real speed sections because they are SO TREMENDOUSLY informative. The closest thing I have seen on any other channel is an indication of how quickly the footage has been sped up e.g. 15x. This is WAY better. Princess Meow Meow brought so much joy to so many people that she never even met. Thank you for including her in your videos - seeing Princess Meow Meow always makes me smile.

Sorry about your cat Steve, hearing her jingle was one of my favorite parts of the videos.

Aww, I'm sorry to hear about your kitten. Hope she always has a sunbeam to nap in now.

I'm so sorry for your loss! She'll be remembered well for her cameos and more.

So sorry to hear of your cat’s passing. We lost a dog this week that was with us for 12 years. It wasn’t a surprise but the loss is real. As for the video, great job as always. Traditionally stiles run the entire height of a door and the rails are captured within the stiles, so if I were to make a similar door I would cut the half-laps on the opposite sides. I’ve been working in the cabinet industry for the last 20 years and have never gotten used to seeing mitered doors either. I know it’s a personal hangup of mine, but I’ve come to terms with it! Thanks as always for sharing, Scott

Easy to follow video. Should help anyone get up and running making Shaker style doors. Although, I kept waiting for the "whoops" about which face you were trimming. Then I saw you actually did place the stiles between the rails. I have usually seen the opposite configuration, where the rails are set between the stiles.

Nice to see you again Steve. You're sorely missed. 👏👍🇬🇧

It's nice to see people who understand the pain of losing pets; cats in particular. Sorry Steve. Nice memorial 😌

Steve, Just wanted to say the RealSpeed didn't go unnoticed. Really nice touch for learning. I always stop mid-project and say "why is this taking so much longer than I thought??" Then I remember that every project on RU-vid is in fast-forward.

Informative video, thanks. WWMM has always been Woodworking with Meow Meow in our house. Won't be quite the same without her. So sorry for your loss. xxx

LOVED the real speed on those cuts. It is so helpful to be able to get a real sense of how long it takes to move a piece of wood through the saw on these different techniques.

And this is why I will always watch your channel. You’ve taught me a new way of doing something I can actually accomplish with the equipment I have. Thank you sir.

Great video, Steve! Ever since I learned how to make half laps, I used them quite a bit. They're easy, they simplify assembly and they're super strong. They've become my favorite joint.

This is EXACTLY what I wanted to see!!! I have a pocket hole jig, and normally build my face frames using pocket holes, but the doors this way makes a lot more sense!

Princess Meow Meow ..... may your journey through the after life be one of joy. Steve ..... many condolences to you and the fam' ..... she was always one of the highlights for me when watching your videos.

Steve, I’ve been following you and learning from you for almost eight years. Thanks. Thanks so much.

Its good to see you are back.

I am so happy that i found your channel! my fascination for wood became so huge over the last 1-2 years. I have a very limited budged on buying tools i will collect them from month to month.. i cant wait to work with wood and your channel provides exactly that type of stuff i need because im so clueless! thank you so much for sharing ur knowledge! greetings from switzerland

Sorry for your loss. Blessings and keep up the good work.

sorry to hear about your loss. She was always appreciated in your vids. She will be greatly missed.

I took a woodworking class three years ago in high school and since I graduated I loss interest in woodworking and the biggest inspiration is Steve. I rewatched all his videos and I am happy to say I’m interested again now, Thank you

What a great solution!🔥 Thanks for the tip and demonstration Steve!🙏😎

I’m going to miss Princess Meow Meow 😿

This is great - clear, non-sensationalized instruction on basic woodworking techniques. Thank you for all you do!

Thank you Steve for giving us freeloaders on RU-vid a new video! I think your last video really explained a lot. I enjoy the inspiration from your videos but I don't have the time to do most of your projects. This type of video will improve the chainsaw carpentry my father taught me on the farm!

Sorry for your loss, Steve. After I lost mine few years back, I've had 6 more and I am very glad to have them around the house.

Purr some wine for the princess, good to have videos back.

Princess meow meow will be missed. She was such an integral part to my woodworking journey.

I just watched this video, watching in order from 2008 onward and saw the end. I'm sorry to here about that even as it is 2 years ago. Thank you for all your videos.

Great video, Steve! 👍🏼 But so sad to see the ending and read Princess Meow-Meow died. My condolences to you and your family. I always love hearing the “Princess Meow-Meow Theme.” All the best to you, Steve!

I love it. I like taking stock off the table saw and have it ready to assemble. Pocket holes are great for things I might want to take apart later, but this method looks really solid and less "fiddley".

My condolences on Princess Meow-Meow. I’ll miss her random appearances.

Hi Steve, I like to cut my half-lap joints with my chop saw using the depth adjustment on the machine. There are so many ways to reach the same goal. Keep up the good work!

My condolences on Princess Meow Meow. Thanks for sharing this woodworking technique.

So many wonderful Princess Meow Meow moments. I was just watching a 2015 video, WHATEVER BECAME OF...?, Wyatt was filming & at 20:50 you guys walk in on her sleeping. I re-wound the video several times. She just blinked & looked like "there's my guys... Yep they love & worship me. And yep i love them too." So happy, so content she looked. And that's what i want for my family, the adults, kids, pets, i want them to wake up happy & content. I am so sorry your family has to feel this loss & yet i'm so glad you all had her with you to love so much & that she made such a huge impact that makes this such a loss. Thank you for sharing her with us. & for right now, while it's still so raw, i also want to say: Wow, this sucks! & it's not all right, it will never be ok(easier but never easy or ok) & it's not fair! But, we are all thinking of you!

love the real speed

I'm so sorry for your loss. What a good long life she had, all the more to love her for. I know she will be deeply missed.

Thanks so much for helping me get off my butt and finish this medicine cabinet. For a long time, I was debating on how to put the doors together, and I finally got off my butt and got it done in a single night. You're an inspiration!

thank you so much, just so happens I am busy with a project and this makes my life easy. great stuff buddy. always so nice to watch your channel.

Hey Steve. Thanks for the tips on how to make the half lap frames. And I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Princess Meow-meow. I will miss seeing her in your videos, see was in a lot of them. Respects from Virginia

Thanks for the effort you put into these videos to make it clear for new woodworkers.

Sorry about the kitty. I always loved catching a glimpse of her in the videos. The fact that you were a good teacher AND a cat lover is one of the reasons I purchased your class.

Would love to see a video about the new shop set up. Sorry to hear about the kitty. Awesome show!!

Excellent, clear explanation of half lap joints w/rebate. Thank you.

Woo hoo! New video.

Always enjoy your videos. Using basic tools that majority of us beginners have. Keep’em coming!

I am a newbie with few tools. This is the solution I was looking for. Awesome. I do believe I can do this.

Great video as always, Steve. I always look forward to your build videos.

So what you’re telling me Steve is that I need to make a cross cut sled.. good thing I saw that video yesterday. Thanks for doing what you do. I’ve learned so much in the past year

Very sorry to see the loss of your little partner. My thoughts and prayers for your family's comfort.

Thanks again for another great video steve - even with years of experience I always learn something new from your videos.

So sad to hear about Princess meow meow it was such a treat to see her in the shop. Maybe this can inspire a shop project for a little plaque with her face and name on it for further enjoyment. ❤️🐈👑

This is an awesome approach and one I haven't seen before. Thanks! Next time I make cabinets, I'll be using this

Such a simple cabinet door technique! We’ll definitely use this on our Skoolie build for our cabinets! Thanks for such a great lesson! - Brian + Erin

We miss u Steve..👍👍👍

Sorry to hear about Princess Meow Meow. I've enjoyed your videos for a while, and just a few weeks ago used your list of tools to begin my woodworking journey. Princess Meow Meow's appearances always made me smile. Wishing your family the best.

So sorry to hear about Princess Meow-Meow. Her theme song remains one of my favorite tunes I've ever heard in a RU-vid video.

Thanks for making thos video the way you used to do it. You've inspired me a lot.

Thanks, Steve. I really enjoy those detailed cuts videos. Very useful. New music? Cool :) And I enjoyed the 'real speed', too.

Can't wait to land a new job. Weekend woodworker is gonna be my treat to myself.

A wave of happiness washed over me as I heard your team music kick in as the video continued, great video thank you.

Love the high tech clamps used for the door panels. Just like home.

I just made a picture frame sled. After watching this, I'm tempted to use half-laps for my next frame project. Awesome as always - thanks Steve! And my condolences on the passing of Princess Meow-Meow.

Your videos are like a good Ribeye steak you feed us well Thank you. RIP Princess Meow Meow 🐱

Another Woodworking For Mere Mortals video ! Great video Steve !

Awesome. Thanks Steve. I just made some shaker style doors with a dado. Next project I'll try panel doors using your technique.

Thanks for the video Steve.

Love the new web site, I look forward to joining up soon and learning a lot from you. I love your RU-vid channel as well!!

I like those better then screwing them together. Thanks. Looks great!

This was awesome Steve! Thank you!

Great tutorial, Steve. A really easy way to make a super strong door.

I'm looking forward to the new woodworking course, I saw some teasers on Instagram! BTW: I know it must be hard losing Princess Meow-Meow, I had a cat for over 15 years too, they really become part of the family... but here's something odd you may notice: don't be surprised if you think you see her around the house and shop from time to time, I had that experience, it wasn't so much as weird as it gave me some peace of mind that I can't really explain..

I love the real speed parts. Great idea!

Really clear instructions. Excellent, thanks very much!

Great vid Steve...love to see the full build of that bench you attached the doors to...

steve you are the best,,,i am making a storage cabinet for my router bits,,,i just watched your video on finger joints and I made the sides and top and bottom finger jointed ,,turned out great,,,and the plans call for a different type of door but I like this one so much better,,,

Nice doors Steve.

Thanks, headed to the kitchen right now to get ideas

Hi Steve, I enjoy and learn a lot from your videos. I am sorry for your loss. God's speed Princess Meow-Meow. RIP

Nice short video. The shop looks great. Princess Meow-Meow, it was an honour.

Great video Steve. Sorry for the loss of your pet.

Sorry to hear about your loss. Great video as always. Greetings from India
