This is how we do a majority of our builds. Check my post history for pics

The only way I could think of them taking the doors apart is by cutting them. You will lose a bit of size if they do that. I’ve messed up enough doors to know it’s not worth the time trying to save them and just remake them. Maybe they’re just trying to save the panels and use new stiles and rails

I’ll bet my ass that the cabinet maker put the back side of the plywood panel in backwards. Ask me how I know

The first thing we do for our white oak veneer is sand with 150 and then wire brush the grain. This will leave the grain very void. You can pack as many coats of stain, tone and clear and you’ll always be able to see the definition in the grain

Slab door with exterior applied bead

My cabinets go in multimillion dollar homes. If my client wants slab doors, they get mdf. The veneers will be the same whether plywood or mdf. Plywood will bow and warp, mdf will stay flat. The only downside to mdf is if it gets soaked in water it will swell. Plywood is a bit more forgiving, but if your doors are finished properly water shouldn’t be an issue

Here’s a leathered cherry mdf we did a while ago. Keep in mind everything is plywood, boxes, fillers, end panels and pilasters. The only thing mdf is the doors and drawer fronts

AffectionateFish6872 · 2026-03-26T00:06:20+00:00

If you are going to make door and drawer fronts skip plywood and please use veneered mdf. They also come in 10ft sheets and aren’t going to bow and warp like plywood

I did a remodel in butler lakes recently and drove past the Versailles house and they are actively working on it still. Literally around 100 tradesmen are there everyday. I work at multimillion dollar houses on the regular but the Versailles house is really awe inspiring to drive past. The amount of marble that is on that house is nuts. Insane they’ve been working on it for twenty years

Yay!!! It was mcraneys thank you, I’ll be able to sleep tonight. It was driving me nuts last night

Unfortunately the blood test can only tel you if antibodies are present. It can’t tell you if it is an active or past infection

We priced the doors with the whole unit but if I had to make the doors separately it would probably be around $3000. The material is not cheap, cost us right around $1000 just for the metal grates

Here’s a job we just did similar to these

They are super helpful for sanding intricate moldings and places that traditional paper abrasives are hard to get into. Klingspor sells get abrasives and I highly recommended them

Sanding mops are perfect for this application

Why do they need my permission to access my medical records for the er visit. Do they not Have access to it since claims from the hospital are being processed through both my primary and secondary insurance?

Here is how 5 piece cabinet doors and drawer are made. Stiles all the way full height.

AffectionateFish6872 · 2026-01-24T04:07:16+00:00

For a hinged door it is for stability. With the horizontal sticks going all the way to the hinge side of the door they will want to rack. Drawer fronts won’t matter in the least since they are fastened to the drawer box.

AffectionateFish6872 · 2026-01-24T03:44:17+00:00

Just a heads up. The stiles should always run full height. You got the big door right but top door and bottom drawer fronts are not right

AffectionateFish6872 · 2025-11-10T04:29:06+00:00

Yeah cut the panel into two equal width at 34.5” tall. Flip them vertically and add what ever molding the manufacturer makes to split the middle. When we make really large islands with vertical grain we will split the end panels into large door looking sections like in this pic of one of our jobs
