What did you cut on your Shapeoko/ Nomad today?

I started a custom cabinet job ages ago. It began with making the carcass of the cabinet out of poplar strips. No need for plywood since this will be sandwiched between 2 other cabinets.

This week I finally got to working on the raised panel doors. I had to cut a cross section of a door the customer had that was too large and then draw the molding profile. I cut them pretty long and will trim up later.

Then I worked on the center panels.


There was a little cleanup with the sander but not bad at all. I put a few pieces together to see what it would look like.

Here it is compared to the original I copied.

I am waiting on the spacers to put in the rails to arrive before I trim everything and glue.

The only thing I kind of goofed on was the placement of the biscuits when I glued up the center panel. I didn’t have my final measurements at the time I did the glueing and index up with biscuits that show in spots where the curve is. Luckily the customer plans to paint rather than stain so it shouldn’t be an issue.

I used the molding toolpath in Vectric Vcarve Pro for this.
