Features
Cabinetmaker and teacher Marc Sommerfeld demonstrates the proper use of the Sommerfeld Cabinetmaking Set made by CMT. He shares his techniques and time-saving tips while making straight and arched raised panel doors. This instructional video shows how to make straight and arched raised panels that rival those made by expensive machinery.
Every step is thoroughly covered, including:
Figuring the dimensions of the stiles, rails, and panels
Squaring up and cutting all five pieces on the table saw
Performing the cope cut, pattern cut, and panel cut
Machining curves with templates
Flush trimming the curved panels and rails
Assembling and glueing up the door
Using Panalign Strips to keep panels centered
Detailing the outside edge of the door
Raising the drawer fronts
Further instruction emphasizes safety by demonstrating a half-fence for the free-hand operation and by using two different-sized bearings on the panel cutter to make two shallow passes. Approximate time: 40 minutes
