Intro
Learn a new way to make beautiful raised panel doors. We'll show you the best tips, techniques, and tools to make doors quickly and easily without expensive panel-raising bits.
To prove that you don't need expensive cutters to make handsome doors, we made the beautiful raised-panel doors, above, using only three common router bits. Because the panels are hardwood-veneer plywood, they weigh less, cost less, and are more stable than doors made from solid stock.

1/5/2012 11:01:41 AM Report AbuseI was having trouble with the "print" feature of the article too. I just highlighted the entire article and hit control C to copy the article. I then open Word and hit control V to paste the article to the Word document. Once there it is easy to save the article to my documents file and print. It takes a little clean up on the article to get rid of unwanted characters and spaces but takes less than 5 minutes to get the printed copy.
1/5/2012 10:18:02 AM Report AbuseI tried at least 30 times to print this article but it appears the only way I MIGHT get a printout is by extending my subscription for another 2 years... my current one is already good until 2016. Looks more like a rip off than an offer or service that they write about so convincingly in their magazines.

More importantly, who wants to spend $150 to $250 on a raised panel router bit set if they only want two or 4 doors. Finally, if the project is going to be painted, using 1/4 inch ply is a LOT cheaper than solid wood panels.
