Thank you Donna!  It does take a lot of patience for inset doors, a lot of patience!!

That is impressive, Justin!  I am in the process of building cabinets with inset doors for our bathroom (which I have never done before, but there's a first time for everything)!  I'm not finished yet, but have developed an appreciation for the patience it takes to do this right!

Beautiful job!

Donna

Doug,

I misquoted, it's the 1 1/2 HP.  Yeah, I'm keepin her!  I was right in the middle of making kitchen cabinets for a customer and it died.  I'm going to take it to get fixed, but what a pain.  I will let you know more when it comes in!

Take care,

Justin

Hey Doug, I appreciate the feedback.  As luck would have it, my Milwaukee router took a dump today.  I'm not sure if it's the power switch or a brush, having spent $300 on that I can't imagine doing that again.  My beloved wife has offered to buy me a Shaper, I have decided on the 2hp Grizzly, adding the mobile base, the spindles for the router bits, shipping, freight etc. it comes in at $830, but I'm hoping that I won't have to spend any more for another 15 to 20 years in that area!  It got pretty good reviews so I'm going to give it a shot.  It comes prewired for 110, but can be rewired for 220 (that's my plan).  I will let you know how it performs when it comes in!!  Take care!

Thanks Jim, honestly I don't do enough of the beaded face frames to offset the cost of the Kreg system.  I'm also thinking of moving to a shaper too so that really kills it. haha

Great job on the miters! I know how time consuming it can be. Looks like you could use Kreg's Beaded Face Frame system. be sure to put it on your list to Santa next Christmas :-)

Thanks Mike and Denny!  All you do is take 3/4 inch stock and run it through your router with a 1/8 inch beading bit then cut it at the table saw, joint that edge and do it again.  I got the the idea from seeing Norm do it on New Yankee believe it or not.  As far as the face frame, I made them 1 5/8 wide, then adding the bead you're at about 1 7/8.

Nice touch and seems fairly simple to do! I may have to steal that idea for my project to add a little something to it LOL. Good work!
