Rustic Cabinet Doors
Hanging the Doors
To save costs the client chose to paint and hang the doors. I mounted the hinges to the door so all he had to do was establish a reference point to keep all the doors the same height. I told him to make a small story pole or reference stick and use it at each door. Alternatively he could also install blue tape at the tops of every door and use a laser or level and make reference marks.
Whichever way he chooses he is one step closer to accomplishing his dream house.
This method is a fairly straightforward way to make a frame and panel looking door. If you have limited tools, you could do this with ¾ stock and eliminate the thickness planer altogether.
