I built four doors for a lady's kitchen "pantry" cabinet. I went there and measured, came home, drew it up on SketchUp and then made the doors. White oak with Osmo Polyox finish. The kerfs in thefloating panels were done on my CNC.



I did the install this afternoon. I had made a story pole for all the vertical elements, so I used it to mark and drill for the faceframe hinges. The doors clipped on perfectly. I got the two doors on one side installed, then began on the other side. I got the top door mounted and swung it closed to admire my work - to find a 3" gap between them! What the ...... OK, no fix for this except to make new ones. Not a good day.

After I got home, I looked at my SketchUp drawing and see that I somehow used the actual inside dimension between the face frames as the outside dimension for my drawing. That'll do it. Next time, I will make a horizontal story pole, as I normally do.

Anyone need some 15-1/2" wide doors?
