Project - "Debbie's Kitchen Breakfast Nook"

I have installed the panel cutter. I have reset the bit height so that the panel cutter's bearing aligns with the tongue of a coped section. Note that this cutter is wide, so I have lowered the router speed to 10,000 rpm as suggested by the manufacturer. I have cut the panel blanks to the exactly sizes specified by the software program. I make each cut in 3 passes so as not too remove too much in any one pass.
	Here is the "work in progress." The other door blanks are resting on the table saw at right. Even with making each profile in three passes, this part of the operation goes very smoothly and probably took 15 minutes total.
It is time to assemble. I have dry fit each of the frames and "break them apart" to allow me to apply the glue on each of the coped ends. The panels do not get glue — they float to allow seasonal shifts in the wood.
	In the long doors where I have two panels, I insert the center rail and match it to center marks that I have made.
I am placing 2 Panalign strips [CMT Panalign page] in each of the grooves that surround the raised panels. These strips are "spongy" and allow the raised panel to be centered in the opening and still allow seasonal movement. By the way, the software program allowed for these spacers in their "options" setup page.
	The assembly is progressing smoothly.
With it all together, I check for proper spacing of the panels and double check that all the joints are aligned.
	Having checked for square, I place one clamp to squeeze the rail/stile joint and pop two 5/8" brads into the tongue section on the back side. Then I move the clamp to the next rail and do the same.
With all the doors assembled, I install the ogee door edging bit and cut that profile.
If it seems like the shop is full of cabinets, it is because it is. Sal is busy finishing the units so that we can get them out of here — and installed in Debbie's kitchen.    I will add the finished picture next week. In the meantime, on to a new project.    This has been a fun project for Sal and me to do. Part of the fun of any project, is to see it all come together and look great. Another part of the fun is to have every part of the shop work so well — and for the various tools to perform as they should.  I especially liked the way the new software worked, and I am always appreciative of the performance of the CMT router bits and router table. With a job like this, it just pays to use quality products to make quality products.
