With SWIMBO glued to the bat n'ball I sloped off to the 'shop to finish the jointing on the door. The rails were shot in for a snug fit:
...at either end. Nothing but a super-duper honed blade on the LN 51 will take off the wispy end grain shavings needed for a fit; if the edge is a bit 'tired' it will just chatter across the end grain. With that done, the rails were cramped to the Domino board:
....making sure that they were the right way up. It has been known otherwise
Next up was a dry fit to see what it looked like which was generally fine, but one corner was some way out!
This looks bad but is easy to fix with two minutes work an a sharp chisel:
Simply pare away part of the domino to remove the 'step' when the rail is re-fitted. Once done, the door was dropped into the cabinet and fitted snuggly:
...top and bottom. It's even out of wind or twist on the sides:
...bearing in mind I did that rather hairy procedure on the router table a while back to trim a bit off, which also it seems made both edges parallel. Even though the dry door frame is a snug fit, when the hinges are fitted, there'll be some shavings removed top and bottom to allow it to clear the cabinet and swing open freely - Rob
