    How to make 2-panel door with classic ogee rail and stile
    I have an old house with 2-panel doors throughout, that have the classic ogee style bead.
    I would like to make a few more without a lot of trouble and expense.

    Rail-and-stile router bit sets about for single-side doors such as cabinet doors. Bit sets to do double sided doors are very expensive, so I wanted to know if anyone has used the single-side sets (made for 3/4" thick) and flipped the 1-3/8 stock to make a double sided door.

    single sided

    double sided

    I haven't, but can't imagine needing a double sided one unless you make doors for a living.

    Wouldn't try making this type of door without a very good large woodworking shop. Mating frame and stiles is very difficult. Many of the 2 panel doors used pine or fir plywood for the panels. There are quite a few on EBay. Check "Architechtural resales". We have quite a few in the Atlanta area and they are a good source for period doors.

Remove Kitchen Cabinet Center Stile [ 0 Answers ]

I have installed some pull out drawers in my kitchen, but find them to be very narrow as they must fit between the center stile. Can this be removed and incorporated into one of the doors or is it a structural part of the cabinet? Let me know if there are photos you need. Thanks.
