  • Frame-And-Panel Doors Made Easy
    Frame-and-Panel Doors Made Easy Cope-and-stick router bits are quick but tricky. Here’s how to get perfect results BY MICHAEL PEKOVICH Photos, this page: Michael Pekovich; facing page: John Tetreault COPYRIGHT 2007 by The Taunton Press, Inc. Copying and distribution of this article is not permitted. Bit types his past summer, during the remodeling of my kitchen, I was faced with the task of making 31 Tcabinet doors. I needed speed and simplicity, so I broke out my router table and a set of cope-and- stick router bits. These bit combinations allow you to rout door frames quickly, in two steps. The first bit routs a profile and panel groove on the inside edge of all the Doors Made Easy TWO-BIT frame parts. The second bit is a mirror image of the SET first, routing a coped profile and a stub tenon on the ends of the frame rails. What you create is not a traditional mortise-and- tenon joint. But done right, it gives you a cabinet door that’s just as strong. The key is to use a flat panel of plywood Router bits for door or medium-density fiberboard (MDF) that’s glued in place— not a raised panel, which is designed to float. All in all, I was frames are referred to in able to build all 31 doors in the course of a weekend, from woodworking catalogs as “cope and stick” or “rail milling lumber to finish sanding. and stile” bits.

  • Making Stub-Tenon Doors
    Making Stub-tenon Doors The stub-tenon joint will never be the super- hero of your joinery arsenal because it doesnʼt have the stuff necessary to be a strong joint. The mating parts are short (hence the “stub” moniker) and itʼs housed on only two sides: the face cheeks of the tenon. There is sufficient glue surface, but the cross-grain orientation compromises the glue joint. In the pantheon of woodworking joints, the stub-tenon joint may be more accurately described as a 90-pound weakling. But even so, this can be sufficient for smaller, lightweight doors that donʼt take a lot of abuse. For example, you wouldnʼt choose this joint for kitchen cabinet doors or built-ins for the kidsʼ playroom. But itʼs OK to use a stub-tenon door for a vanity cabinet or for a project thatʼs built as much for looks as it is for service. Once a door weighs more than four or five pounds, or is larger than 18" x 24", you must abandon the stub-tenon joint for a more substantial one. Mortise-and-tenon construction, dowels, loose tenons and even biscuit joints are superior choices for larger, heavier doors. So why use a stub-tenon joint? Well, itʼs easy to make because it requires a minimal amount of setup time regardless of the method you choose to cut the joint. Itʼs usually cut with a router in a table or on the table saw using a stack dado set. The ease of setup is because the same groove thatʼs cut to receive the panel doubles as the groove for the stub tenon.

This work extends from a previous study on walls subjected to quasi-static cyclic loading regimes by investigating the dynamic behaviour of this new wall system on a shake table. Monotonic, cyclic quasi-static and dynamic loading tests that included an applied dead load were performed on 2.44 m x 2.44 m shearwalls with standard (1.22 m x 2.44 m) and oversize (2.44 m x 2.44 m) oriented strand board panels.

This is especially true when it comes to recognizing and avoiding cross-grain wood movement problems. Wood moves seasonally due to the ability of warm summer air to hold a far greater amount of moisture than cold winter air. In Philadelphia, we are 60 miles from the ocean and we see the equilibrium moisture content (EMC) of wood at about 6 percent in February and approximately 12 percent in early September. This change from winter to summer causes wood to swell across the grain, and this can easily cause splitting in solid wood parts.
