HOW TO BUILD YOUR OWN SIMPLE SHAKER STYLE CABINET DOORS
by Eric Greaves (IC: vlogger)
2 Materials

Easy
View materials (2)
I was building a desk and wanted to add simple shaker style cabinet doors to it.
So I came up with a plan to build some inexpensive ones. It was an extremely
easy project and one any beginner can handle. I made my doors from pine and
plywood without screws. I joined them together with wooden biscuits and glue. My
cabinet doors were small however this DIY can be modified to make cabinet doors
of any size. So if you are looking for a little shaker style woodwork in your
home, check out this quick DIY.
TOOLS AND MATERIALS
* Pine boards
* Plywood
* Router
* Circular saw
* Table saw
* Biscuit joiner
* Wooden biscuits
* Clamps
* Wood glue
* Paint or stain
* Sandpaper
* Eye protection
* Gloves
* Mask

I started this project by measuring the openings on my desk that I needed to
cover. First I ran the pine boards through my table saw to square up the edges.
Then I cut those boards into the appropriate sizes to make rectangular shapes
large enough to cover the openings on my desk and leave a small overlap. Before
I cut my wood, I put on my safety gear.
Cut Wood
Add Biscuits
Add Biscuits
I took my biscuit joiner out and used it to create slots at each end of the wood
pieces, so they could be joined at the corners. Then I put wood glue in the
holes, inserted a wooden biscuit into each slot and pushed the pine frame
together, creating the rectangle. Then I clamped the boards tightly in place and
set them aside to dry for about an hour.
Add Wood Glue
Glue Biscuits
Router the Edges
Router the Edges
Shaker style cabinets have a recessed panel on the front, but are flat on the
back. So, once the frames were dry, I needed to create a pocket that the center
panel would fit into this way. To do this, I used a router and I carved a small
ledge all the way around the inside perimeter of my pine frame. Always use
caution when working with power tools. When I was done with the router I went
over the perimeter again with a chisel and a hammer to remove any last bits of
wood and to create square, sharp corners.

Cut Wood for Center

Next, I cut the wood for the center of each cabinet door. I created these pieces
from plywood. I measured the inside of each individual frame and then cut the
plywood to the necessary length and width with my table saw. When the cuts were
complete, I was ready for glue.
Glue Wood Centers to Frames
Glue Wood Centers to Frames
To attach the plywood centers to the pine frames I simply added glue to the
routered edges and spread it around with a brush. Then I placed the plywood
center board into the frame firmly and let it dry. I continued this process
until all of the cabinet doors were complete.
Glue
Sand and Paint or Stain
Sand and Paint or Stain
Now it was time to add the finish to the doors. Depending on your individual
design, you could either paint or stain them. I chose paint. I sanded each door
down a bit, to make sure there weren’t any rough spots or dried glue leftover.
Then I primed and painted the front and back of each door. If you’re going to
use stain, you’ll want to lightly sand in between each coat and apply a sealer
when the stain is dry.
Paint
I'm very pleased with the way these shaker style cabinet doors turned out. It
was an easy project that can be adapted to fit furniture, bathroom vanities, and
kitchen cabinets. By building your own shaker style doors you could actually
update your entire kitchen by simply removing the old, dated cabinet doors and
replacing them with these. Plus, since they’re relatively inexpensive to make,
it would be an easy way to DIY it on a budget. I hope you found this tutorial
helpful and that you'll give it a try.
If you enjoyed this DIY and know someone who might like it as well, why not
share it with them!

You did a great job! You did a great job and made great doors. I would love
to learn how to make something like this with my own hands, but I don't have
the time or tools like you do. But my love for wooden furniture is so great
that I am willing to completely free up my garage to install some similar
machines in it and make something beautiful. For now, I have to order wooden
furniture because, as I said above, I don't have the time. But I am sure that
I will be able to realize my dream soon. I wish you success!
