Frame and Raised Panel Construction --
Making professional-looking cabinet doors is easier than you think!

STEP 7:
Adjust your table height so the edge of the blade penetrates your stock fully on the 15-degree angle. Cut all bevels, then smooth them by hand sanding or scraping.

STEP 8:
The panel should be cut to provide 1/4-inch of clearance per foot of width to allow for expansion and contraction with changes in the weather/environment. When assembling the panel into the frame, glue only the stiles and rails, leaving the panel to “float” in its frame, unglued.
