Thank you Angie for the nice comment on the 12 drawer chest. It was a fun project to make and is one of which was ordered by a customer whom allowed me to be creative. I have noted that you are doing quite well on your projects and seem to be learning very quickly. You are turning out some very nice projects and it is very nice to see that you are enjoying this fasinating work. Keep it up and l am looking forward to seeing more of your work.
Angie, sorry I didn't get back to your post earlier, worked a long work day Saturday. I told you I would send you the steps to build a simple door using a saw and the kreg pocket holes and a router. This is a very basic method and one I do not use however is a quick and easy.
step one: cutting your door stock to size
step two: bore the rails for pocket screws
step three: glue and clamp the pieces and screw together
step 4: set up your router and rabbit bit setting the depth the fit the thichness
of your panel
step 5: cut the rabbit in the assembled door for panel
step 6: use bench chisel and square up the round cuts in the corners
step 7: cut your panel to fit and glue or nail into place
step 8: this is an option, plug the pocket holes with a shore piece of 3/8 " dowel and sand flat
thanks for your help Jay, my very first door, inlaid, even though I thought about cheating and just putting the beadboard on the back, I'm so glad I didn't. :)

thx Jay, very useful. My routering leaves a little to be desired, they're drying now. :)
