That's a fine technique, John; sure, labour intensive, but then solely using a table saw cuts out the middle man. I do not possess a table mounted router, either, & your method is safe & sound as far as I am concerned - you're a consummate professional, which garners my respect. Many thanks for an interesting & informative video !!
Nooo!!! You can't use a chisel that way! Put it back on the rack, where those belong! Man, are those panels a pain. A few years back I bought one of those rail/stile router bit sets, but I like your method better I think. It might be nice to have two tablesaws for the process, just so you could have a dedicated zero-c plate in the angled one. Then you could tear through a bunch of them in a day. Anyhow, that turned out seriously awesome, and I think it probably would be faster. The router bits have to remove mat'l in multiple passes if I remember correctly. Plus, it was expensive as hell and intimidatingly dangerous to use.
+pocket83 Thanks. The set I show in the video was fairly cheap, but the bearings are held on by cheap nylon insert lock nuts that are so poorly made, they unbalance the cutters.
Great looking final product. Most stressful video to watch ever!!! Those fingers were way to close to that blade for kick-back comfort. A hand router and a couple of clamps ($150) is way cheaper than reattaching a finger. You will also cut job time to one tenth of the time those 100 blade adjustments took off camera.
Hey John, great option to buyingredients the bits. The best part is the ability to make the field unique. Don't throw that sample away. Put a edge piece, with a bead and make a neat gift box lid. Nice job!
wooow, this is the kind of video that shows if you want to build something whit no special tools you can do it, here where I live, the cost of router bits are prohibitive, this video is really useful! thanks for sharing John
Thanks John. I only have two doors to make for a larger China cabinet, but I like the different look of yours and will give it a shot. Thanks for sharing your talent. Eric central Florida
Great video project as always. I put your video playlist on when making dinner for the wife and she is never surprised that after dinner, I head out to the garage to try something I've heard you say in the video. Keep up the great work
Thanks, John. Good video showing a table saw approach to cope and stick and of course raised panels. I bought a set of cope and stick router bits to redo my kitchen doors--24 in all. I found setting the router bits in the router table to be very, very finicky and I guess it's just me but I feel a little more confident setting up my saw. So I think making the cope and stick with a TS might be just a bit faster. Regardless of which approach absolutely all the stock for the rails and stiles must be the same thickness.
Thank you :) Another thing to look at is a table saw blade has a lot more cutting edges, so takes a lot longer to get dull. Whereas the router bits only have two, and in no time are dull enough to burn the wood, which means more sanding.
excellent video, thank you! Our kitchen cabinet doors have a curve on the top panel that my wife is sick of and I've thought about deconstructing them to create a straight border on the top. Your video really gave me some detail on how to reshape that top border and make new panels...
What a great tutorial John! Talk about focusing on a "limited tools" project! That was awesome! I was thinking that with router bits, depending on depth of cut sometimes you have to make multiple passes so as not to burn the wood. I agree that a dialed in table saw would be quicker because you could make single passes to achieve your profiles! Really enjoyed this video! Thanks John! Keep up the great content!
Is it possible to do this on a contractor table saw, its small, I have made a cross cut sled works good, but the fence is narrow, so build one on top of it not very wide for stability ?
That came out really nice, John! Its great for people who either cant afford the bit set or who do not want to invest in it if it is something thats just going to be done one time, instead of a professional cabinet maker.
For 1 door ok. If I were making more than 2 doors, i would buy the correct tools. Just way too much setup and movement of the saw to get identical doors. Also the time element. In the video you cut out te setup routine so it lloks quick and easy. But it's neither. But thank you for showing me why not to do it this way.

no entiendo nada de lo que hablas, pero en la práctica sí. Muy bien hecho. Saludos amigo!
How possible is this with the tiny Craftsman table saw? I don't even think the miter slot is the standard size. Glad to see a table saw project that isn't ruined (for me at least) by breaking out the dado blades so trying to think of a way to make this work.
I think this is right up your alley....brilliant! Those router bit sets are very finicky, and take quite a bit of setup time as well. I appreciate your time and lessons!
how do you measure to have the right size door considering the cutting of the joint, is there a standard extra amount to add to the rails to get the proper with of your door? Thanks
This was a great video explanation of your technique. The one very small statement about cutting the side grain first was worth the whole video, I hope many people caught it. You would be amazed the number of people I've shown that to, that had no idea. Thanks for that wonderful teaching point.
Awesome. Makes me want to head over to the saw and make a door I don't have any need for. of couse, I'd get part way into it and realize that you made it look way easier than it is and would probably end up frustrated. ;-)
I think that's a better looking door then the router bit setup. You could almost make Jigs for mass production and not even ahve to move the blade ecpt for doing the raised panel part.
Nice job John, I have made many doors just like this over the years on the table saw before I was able to buy the router table that was needed and spent a bunch of money on specialty bits. Over the years, there are still times when I’m only making a few doors I go back to the table saw. Nice job, I enjoy your channel
Nice results. I built doors for a cabinet but used lap joints for corners and created the raised panel with table saw as well, it was quick with same looking result. Thanks for sharing .
John, you are a bloody genius mate, love watching your videos what blade do you use? And how do I make a donation to you pal, keep plugging away, from Garry in the UK
If you're discouraging the use of raised panel bits because of cost you shouldn't. Neiko makes a great entry level set for under $40. Professional grade? Heck no, but it will get the job done. Saves all the tons of setup with your table saw. Plus the table saw limits your choice of profile for the panel. Great video though.
It's also possible to run the panel on a diagonal with the blade tilted to make a cove cut. $40 may not be much money but it's money nonetheless. The bits (especially cheaper ones) can be finicky too so there is still a good amount of set up involved. Like he said in the video, if you had multiple doors to make, this procedure could actually be quicker if you ran each cut before readjusting the blade.
Dave k i just built a whole kitchen doors with my Dewalt 10in saw. but i did just plane shaker style doors. first time doing cabinet doors. learned a lot.
Really nice video, with a proper level of detail to show how to use this technique for cutting the joints needed for panel. You have a great teaching style that translates well to video. Thank you so much for taking the time to share this!
Thanks for sharing with us this tehnique , it's the first video for me , making raise door panels with the table saw ... most of videos are with the router bit set , and like you said it is a little expensive set ... thanks again for sharing this ! Cheers !
Good tutorial, demo, and build. That panel really turned out nice with the detail, John. Now you need to build a very small cabinet to put it on (or a small box) haha.
I watched your video here in Brazil, I found very interesting your tips, despite the difficulty with English, but watching now to capture many legal advice, a hug and keep posting.
+I Build It Would a cove cut on the rails and stiles work? I can't picture how the joins would meet if say you replaced the 20.5 degree bevelled edge with a concave cove profile.
As usual, nicely done & very informative! Wish that I had seen this before purchasing those expensive router bits. Love that little mini-sled......Thanks for making woodworking fun................... Steve
I love it and have used your process a couple times! One part I think that would help me and maybe others too is to show the coping of the rail profile. You can see where you did it somewhere a long the way but actually seeing the process helps me get the total vision. Thanks again
