Thread: Door trim.

Threaded View

  1. #1

    Door trim.

    Since I have been unable to locate doors I am proceeding with my own fabrication.

    I have the base door in place and hinged, as well as the original style catch. (The "handle" is temporary. I have matching handles for the doors when it's done) The whole thing opens to allow garbage cans etc to go in and out. When closed it is supposed to look like the sink cabinet. I have Afromosia veneered 1/4" which with another 1/4" luan will go on top of the 3/4" to make the panels at almost the right reveal. (I need 3/8" but that's proving tough to do). The sapele pieces will make it look like the usual framing.

    The hardest part is turning out to be the trim. I have been unable to locate it. Custom mill shops are not returning my calls. The woodcraft shop has 1000 router/shaper bits but nothing just like it. The closest I am coming is to cut on the 45 then run it over a 1/2 round bit (1" radius) and then cut in the rabbit, and then round over the two edges by hand..... Complex and hard to get consistent.

    I have not tried ordering a custom router bit yet.... Anyone have experience/recommendations with that?
