Sadly I cant accomodate one either in my budget or workshop. So I am going for your second suggestion. I had a good look at one of the existing shutters. The stiles and rails have a "classical" profile along one edge on one side only. This is 1/'2" deep and could be made with a standard router bit. The rails connect to the stiles with a mortice and tenon joint, as you suggest. I have ordered up the router bits and will let you know how it goes.... All the best Sandy Keep those podcast coming !! Thanks for this Marc

I am glad you are so confident. Thats awesome! As for the bits, I have never really seen anything for that thickness either. Most likely, its because that would really push the limits of what our standard routers can handle. I think at that point we are getting into shaper territory. I did a little digging about found these: http://www.freud-tools.com/freudrailsti1.html These are special shaper cutter heads that can certainly handle anything you throw at them. But you need a shaper to use them. Is a shaper in the budget??? The other option is to make the rails and stile manually. But the grooves with a straight bit or tablesaw. Make a mortise and tenon joint where the rails and stiles meet. The but whatever profile you want on the outer and inner edges of the door. Hey sandy. I am glad you are so confident. Thats awesome!

New to woodworking, but, having watched every one of your shows, Im ready to tackle anything. I want to make a new pair of windows shutters to match exisitng shutters (dating to about 1820) for a flat in Edinburgh, Scotland. The existing shutters use exactly this technology, rail, stile and raised panel, which must have all then been cut with hand tools. Question. Can you get rail and stile router bits that work with 1.5" (38 mm) thick styles and rails? I can't find any on line. The specs for any that I have come across say max wood thickness is 7/8". Is there a different way of setting this up? thanks Sandy Hi Marc.

You are absolutely right. Its always a good idea, when feasible to finish the panels first. Hey sarge. You are absolutely right. Its always a good idea, when feasible to finish the panels first.

Question, should you first finsh the panel before glue up? That way if there is some expansion or contraction there won't be a line where the finish stops. Great video, thanks Sarge Marc, I too just got the panel set and have not used them yet. Question, should you first finsh the panel before glue up?

Great video, thanks

So there is a chance you can hear it somewhere else. And the episodes can take anywhere from 3 days to a few weeks to produce, depending on the project.

The 1/16" lip is required by design. The inside edge of the rails and stiles have a decorative roundover. That roundover actually sits 1/16" below the surface of the rail. It basically gives it extra dimension. Remember that the pieces are milled upside down. So that might be whats confusing you. Byron- I did cover this type of hinge installation in our Assembly Table series. And for full screen video, you can download the High Def version of the show available right above the video on our site. Thanks everyone. Hey Joe. The 1/16″ lip is required by design.

The table is a Jessem and the lift is a Jessem branded Master Lift. Highly recommend it. Will save you loads of time. Hey Tony! The table is a Jessem and the lift is a Jessem branded Master Lift.

I gotta admit, though, that I like your router table set up! Is that a home made fence or did you buy that? I noticed you were doing above the table bit changes; is there a lift in there? If so, what kind? Keep up the good work! Tony V Marc:
