How to Build Shaker Style Cabinet Doors

I was dreading this project for so long because I had so many cabinet doors and drawer fronts to make and I wasn’t sure how I wanted to do them. I actually contemplated buying unfinished cabinet fronts from a company like Baker, but I decided to try and make them myself instead.

The rails are made with poplar 1×3’s and the inserts are made from 1/4″ MDF. I went the easy route and did pocket joints instead of doing mortise and tenon, but I’m happy with how they turned out. I’m really excited to get these hung up, the van will look so much different.

In the next article we’ll go over the flooring installation, so stay tuned. Yewwwwwwwww!
