And way too many pictures 
I had my phone in my pocket and it was easy to take pictures - so I did. probably too many. Feel free to not look too carefully...
So I spent forever painting the hall stairs and landing and everything is clean and fresh looking - except the old coat cupboard. It has the kind of doors on it you used to be able to buy in diy stores 25+ years ago. They warped soon after they were hung with a serious twist in one of the small top ones so something needed doing even if they were not the wrong colour.
The under stair cupboards and panelling are all pretty plain looking so that was the style for the new doors - basic frame and panel.
First job cut some strips of 18mm MRMDF
I can cut the last 2 bits in the table saw but no room to handle anything big and heavy on it.
Still pleased with my homemade crown guard
Cut to oversize lengths..
Cut some std mdf 6mm for panels. Should have done it when I did the 18mm if I'd been thinking
Oversize blanks
To guarantee flat square edges the MDF went through the P/T. I bought new blades about a year ago but the old ones just won't go blunt so I'm not worried about the blades.
I have a cutter made for biscuit jointing that makes nice grooves, Cut once ,turn it over and cut again for a nice central groove
fence. 50mm hose fits nicely on old sealant tubes so I use them anywhere that needs extraction. they melt easy with hot air stripper gun too so easy to shape to fit.
Grooving
That was all yesterday. today..
Cut to length. trim one end square, remove spacer then cut to the stop.
change to square cutter. (getting bored yet?)
Once in a blue moon I lift the table to vacuum underneath so i took a picture..
Square cornered offcut to help guide the end across the cutter
Dry fit
Glued
The large doors are too long for my longest clamps so I used the board offcut and set the clamps to expand. Prefer to do it all at once but did ends pieces only first.
And i've run out of pictures but the long rails are glued to the panels now
