Making the Back and Door Panels
guyswoodshop Jul 30, 2016
This video shows how I measure all the parts for the door and the back for the cabinet. I also show how I fix the mistake of forgetting to create the rabbet on the sides for the back panel before I did the glue up of the case.
I cut all the parts, and then resaw two pieces of lumber, 1 piece of walnut for the door, and 1 piece ash for the back panel. Then it's on to cutting the grooves in the rails and stiles, and creating stub tenons to put the whole thing together.

Wow, that ash panel is beautiful. Excellent episode, Guy! I'm going to give that glue up tip a try for the panels.
Gorgeous panels for sure. I recently tried that tape trick for glueing panels like that and it worked great.
Thanks Sean! Air dried ash has some magnificent grain patterns and colors. Kinda like the difference between kiln and air dried walnut. And the glue up for the doors I do works really well.
@Sean said:Hey Steve! Yes sir, it does work good. You just have to dedicate a flat space for an hour or two is the only downside.

Do you mill your own lumber? I can never find air dried Ash. Actually I'm having a hard time finding any ash lately
Thanks Tony!
@mountaintopTony said:Hey Joe. No I don't mill lumber. There are a good number of local sawyers here in the Indianapolis area, and I have a friend who lives very close with a pile of about 600 bd ft of air dried ash. Check out craigslist, and see what you can find. That's my go to when I need lumber.
