Welcome back to the second part of my repairs to an oak kitchen cabinet door.

In this video I show how I groove the rails, mark out and cut the mortises.

I always cut the panel grooves after I have cut the joints, this is to reduce breakout. (splintering of the wood's edges)

As the door stiles are already made I have no choice but to mortise them with a groove already in but that is not an issue in this instance

I use a slot cutter on the router table and  I also use a feather board to hold the work piece down as I machine it. 

Feather boards are an excellent edition to a router table as they increase accuracy and safety.

Then I  set up and use my mortising machine to cut the mortises. If you are in business as a woodworker or even a serious hobbyist, a mortising machine is a must have. It will speed up production and give accurate results again and again.

The last step is to clean up the existing stiles ready for the gluing stage.

I know my wood and I have spent years teaching myself furniture making , furniture history as well as living it as a self employed cabinet maker .
