Fast and easy cabinet door...Opinion
Just finished building a new shop. 24X24 One wall will have a large section of shop built cabinets. I'd like to put doors on the cabinets to keep the dust out of my stuff (well at least try). I want fast cheap and dimensionally stable. I could cut up a bunch of 3/4 MDF for the doors but that stuff is heavy and the hinges may rip out with shop use. I could make real rail and stile doors with a ply panel but that is a lot of work for a shop door. Plywood warps unless you use the expensive baltic birch stuff.
Then I had an idea. I'd like your comments. What if I took a sheet of 1/4 luan and laid it on the concrete floor. Using liquid nails I glued a series of 1x4 clear pine in the shape of the desired door sizes. Then I glue another sheet of luan to the top. Compress the whole thing with concrete blocks. After a couple of days, cut out the doors by ripping them such that each door has 1/2 the width of the 1x4. I'd end up with a light, strong and dimensionally stable, door. A 4x8 sheet of doors at a time. Would they be as good as I think? John |

You have a valid concern about the hinges. If you are putting face frames on your cabinets these Blum face frame Euro hinges are up to the challenge and are very very reasonably priced especially in multiples of 50. http://www.wwhardware.com/blum-compa...-hinges-b038n/ I use the 1/2" overlay, screw in, by the hundreds. Thanks for the link. I ordered a few to play with. Have never used Euro hinges before. Do I need a special forstner bit for the one you mentioned? -- G.W.

Your doors are going to wind up about 1 1/4 thick so you need hinges for that. When I make hollow doors (or panels) I rip the rails/stiles a 2x4 so that they are 1/2 or 5/8" thick. I butt glue the rails to the stiles and run 2 - 1/4" dowels through each corner of the stile into the rails. For skins, I use luaun door skins which are 1/8" thick. They are glued on with yellow glue. Concrete blocks might work, don't know as I use home made clamps along each edge which is where you want the pressure, not in the middle. The clamps are rings about 3/4" wide cut off a 2" PVC pipe and then split on one side. One doesn't put on much pressure but when thay are spaced 6" or so apart it is plenty. -- dadiOH ____________________________ Winters getting colder? Tired of the rat race?

If you glue the 1x4 to the backing plywood, it will be "good enough" for ugly shop doors. I'd use Tightbond rather than Liquid Nails. It'll be ready to go the next day. I would also make sure that I glued all of the 1x4's to each other where they butt together - that will unify the structure more. Of course it will be a second rate job - since you're not using acetylene torches, or a mig welder, or multiple coats of urethane clear coat. But... -- -Mike- |

The specifications say the hinge pockets are 35mm. If you happen to have a Forstner in that size you're good to go, otherwise dig out that wallet againg Note also that they list a .pdf file (without a link) containing instructions. DAGS and you'll probably find all that you need. One other suggestion that I'm thinking of incorporating in some wall hung tool cabinets I hope to build this winter. After installing new doors throughout the house this past year, I have a load of door hinges that I refused to toss in the garbage. I'm going to make some wall cabinets framed out in quality 2x lumber, "milled down" to avoid the rounded edges. The wall cabinet itself will be 2X with appropriately sized cross pieces along the back to give it strength, provide for hanging and to support the interior back wall which will be perforated hardboard or maybe slatwall (not sure on that yet) I'm envisioning the cabinet being either 4' or 5' wide with double doors (2' or 2½') hinged on either side the framework (rails & stiles) will be similarly "milled" out of 2x lumber and depth is to be determined. I'll "skin" the face with 1/4" ply but otherwise the door will be pretty much a mirror image of the cabinet itself with plenty of storage on the inside. 3 door hinges to either side should provide all the strength needed to keep them hanging straight. |

When I retrofitted and moved back into my old shop last year, I used 3/4" MDF (the green stuff Leon mentioned) for the cabinet doors. https://picasaweb.google.com/1113554...48498659302354 Here's the entire retrofit: https://picasaweb.google.com/1113554...pRetrofit2011# If your doors are extra large, just use three hinges on each door. I had "Salice Silentia Soft-Close" 3/4 overlay hinges leftover from another job, and used those for the shop cabinets, but any decent Euro hinge will work. Once painted, a good quality MDF door is as good, utility wise, as any wooden door, and a lot cheaper and easier on the budget. -- eWoodShop: www.eWoodShop.com Wood Shop: www.e-WoodShop.net https://plus.google.com/114902129577517371552/posts KarlCaillouet@ (the obvious) |

Ever since I got into pocket hole joinery, I've been in the habit of "snugging by hand." And since I've been using a driver with an adjustable torque clutch, I've also gotten into the habit of calibrating the clutch with some cut-off scraps of like material. Sometimes, it's hard for my brain to "trust" this calibration. :-) But inevitably, when I go to double check, by hand, the screws I drove with my calibrated clutch setting, I discover the clutch had done its job and the screws are nice and snug. The short answer to your question is, you can use a powered driver with a torque clutch. :-) I don't know what it is about those Spax threads, but they make a big difference. Even the yellow/brassy short mdf screws from HD/Lowes/Ace hold much better than sheetrock screws. -- -MIKE- "Playing is not something I do at night, it's my function in life" --Elvin Jones (1927-2004) -- http://mikedrums.com ---remove "DOT" ^^^^ to reply |

The screws only keep the hinge from slipping out of the 1-3/8" x 1/2" deep hole in the door. The snug fit of the singe inside the door mounting hole carries all the weight. The screws essentially prevent the door from sliding off of the hinge and carry no weight. |
