I'm not sure if that's the right term or not. It's the type of door you'd
see on a bifold type pantry or closet door.

I'm making a cabinet (per SWMBO specs) for the bathroom and the bottom will
have towels etc. I thought it would be nice to make those doors out of the
slatted style. She wants it white, so materials are nothing special.

Anyone ever made this type door ? How ?

I wondered myself how this could be done until I saw Norm use a jig
and a plunge router to cut the slanted slots.

Thanks. Would you happen to remember any more details about how he went
about making the template ? Did he then use guide bushing to make the cuts ?

A recent Woodsmith issue had complete details for making louvered blinds.
Norm made fixed louvers in an episode. I'm sure measured drawings are
available on the NYW web site. :-)

It was the teak bar project. Here is a link to the plans and video that I
believe also has the plans for the jig as well.

The _lazy_ way is to make the sides of the louvered area in two parts
(back and front) 'front' is a _thin_ piece, maybe even just shoe molding.

Then you just rip a bunch of angled through dado cuts on the 'back' piece.
something like a box joint jig ensures even spacing. The only tricky part
is getting the miter angle for the 2nd side set to an _exact_ match of that
for the first side.
