Best shop teacher ever - Educated many kids on the fine art of woodworking and an inspiration to many of us to continue building with wood and taking pride in our work even if it's only as a hobby - Thank You Mark for the many lessons and wisdom you have passed along to so many - Chris Stoos
You can nail strips of hardwood to hold the glass in place without a hammer: squeeze the finishing nails in with a small C clamp. There's no risk of breaking or damaging anything.
Thank for your video; could i ask you some question ? Which size of timer for making glass panel door ? And i don’t have table saw and table router ? I intend to buy Makita plunge router for woodworking. How could i make the edge same you in this video for put glass in panel door, could you give me some ideas. Thank I intend to make 2 panel doors 2000mm height x 1000mm wide, but i don’t know to choose size of timber 50mm x 30mm or which size is good for glass panel doors and which mortise and tenon is easy for me because i am just an amateur
Cabinets can display anything. Nobody but nobody addresses the issue of shop dust covering the French cleat items. Cabinets with sliding doors will solve the problem. No back to cabinet. Hang French cleat items in cabinet. Use lexan panel for visibility. Your thoughts. Better yet build one and make the video!!!! Thx Bruce. Cleats and Cabinets ( sort of like root beer and ice !)
Does anyone know the brand name of the router table he is using.?. I have looked everywhere. I am ready to upgrade and the reviews of pro router tables do not include the one Somerfeld uses. I like the long metal table and the pivoting feature.
Every window replacing glass company carries this rubber material in stock. Just call your loal glass and screen repair store. I thought it would be hard to find. It took one phone call. It's not expensive. It comes in rolls but you can buy it by the foot.
No Dowels, or loose tenons like dominos? Gluing glass doors without some kind of tenon is a really weak way to build a door, not much surface area for a glue joint.
***** There is surface face glue joint area but it is still an inferior glue joint. I have built thousands of doors and panels and never had a single call back for a door, and there is a good reason why. It may be on the line of being enough and not being enough, but it's simple assurance. However for anything bigger than a cabinet sized glass door, you are asking for serious issues down the road if you don't use some kind of tenon or dowel.
+briancnc "anything bigger than a cabinet sized glass door" - what do you think he's making here?? Btw: I live in a 100 yr old house with original doors and they were created with exactly this method on a larger scale.
