2014 rounded out Hendrik\u2019s instructional DVD offerings to a total of fourteen titles, releasing two new productions. \u201cMaking Drawers\u201d is the second DVD newly released in 2014, but let us first hear about the long awaited production: \u201cMaking Frame and Panel Doors\u201d.<\/p>\n

Previous videos have covered machinery and tool skills, wood science, joinery methods, finishing and more. However, this is the first time Hendrik has tackled his frame and panel door building and installation methods in a video production. \u201cMaking Frame and Panel Doors\u201d covers his favourite methods for building and installing doors, with the footage spread over nearly 9 1\/2 hours on 5 disks. As is Hendrik\u2019s usual style, this DVD set is a detailed step-by-step course \u2013 not the \u201cusual\u201d DVD fare that may have disappointed you in the past.<\/p>\n

The DVD starts by reviewing the design of a frame and panel door, including some of the common dimensions and details about the panel grooves. Hendrik also reviews a number of different panel designs, from flat panels to raised panels featuring bevels, coves and even ogees. Then Chapter 2, called “Order of Operations”, goes over the various steps to make a frame and panel door from start to finish, including sanding, hardware and finishing steps. Having all of these steps listed on paper in the correct order is immensely useful when you build a frame and panel door yourself.<\/p>\n

From there, Hendrik proceeds to make the door stiles and rails and joins them using one simple joinery method (dowels). He then routs the grooves required for a panel, which involves two through grooves and two stopped. He also does a bit of decorative routing on the inside of the frame on the front. Then four chapters review four different types of panels: flat panels, bevelled panels cut on the table saw, coved panels also cut on the table saw, and ogeed panels cut on the router table with a large panel raising bit.<\/p>\n

When demonstrating the flat panels, Hendrik uses another set of stiles and rails to show how to customize the width of the panel grooves for a panel. While it’s relatively easy to plane a panel to fit a groove using a thickness planer, it is more difficult to customize a groove to accommodate an already existing panel Yet this kind of an exercise is regularly needed where a panel is made of plywood. In Hendrik’s case, he used a solid wood panel but still demonstrated how to customize a groove, as well as how to pin a panel at its centre point with small nails in order to account for wood movement.<\/p>\n

When making a bevel edged panel on the table saw, Hendrik shows you an incredible “sliding fence” jig, allowing you to move the panel over the table saw’s angled blade in a totally controlled and safe manner. There’s no risking life and limb with this procedure.<\/p>\n

Then Hendrik shows you how to make a coved panel on the table saw. While this can be done with a router instead, he explains that using a table saw and running diagonally over the spinning blade can cut just about any radius curve you’ll want using a standard 10″ diameter blade. So rather than having to buy a different router bit for every cove profile you might want, you can do it all on the table saw. While it sounds like a dangerous technique, Hendrik covers it in great detail including all the safety aspects involved.<\/p>\n

Lastly, Hendrik shows you how to make a raised panel with an ogee profile using a large diameter panel raising router bit. This kind of large router bit can be very intimidating, but again Hendrik shows you how to do it safely using zero clearance fence boards, making it an easy operation.<\/p>\n

Of course, just making the various panels isn’t all that needs to be done. Proper sanding must be done prior to assembly, so Hendrik shows you how to do it. In fact, he spends almost 45 minutes showing you how to handle the various types of panels, even using hand planes on the bevels, curved card scrapers on the coves and contoured sanding blocks for the ogees. It is rewarding to see how a professional handles these sanding tasks thoroughly and without affecting the fit of the panels to the grooves.<\/p>\n

All of this leads to a chapter strictly devoted to the glue-up of one frame and panel door. Hendrik shows you how to handle dowel joinery, in terms of where to put the glue, how much to use and how to apply it. He has an interesting order in which he works to ensure no part is ever turned upside down without dowels in the dowel holes, as this would lead to glue escaping from the holes and causing a mess. It is a real pleasure to see how Hendrik approaches a glue-up like this and works in an organized way under time pressure. Hendrik does it in one take so that nothing is left out from the reality of a real-time glue-up.<\/p>\n

After the glue-up, Hendrik shows you how to complete the door frames in terms of any final levelling that must be done. He explains that no matter how carefully you cut the joinery, there are going to be some non-flush areas where rails meet stiles, so he shows you how to hand plane the frame flush and then continue on with a random orbit sander.<\/p>\n

As in all of Hendrik\u2019s DVDs, this production is full of techniques he has been using and perfecting for nearly two decades. There is always a wonderful mix of theory, with sketches and full explanations, married with real-time demonstrations you can duplicate in your own workshop. This is the beauty of these multiple disk courses, which give you an absolutely enormous level of detail, but in a \u201clive demonstration\u201d format just not possible in a woodworking book or magazine article.<\/p>\n

The most important aspect of this production, as with all the others, is Hendrik\u2019s full demonstrations done in real time. He doesn\u2019t assume prior knowledge, so even a beginner will be able to follow along the journey. Yet he has a knack for covering the basics while simultaneously delving into super fine points an amateur is unlikely to even consider for many years. The incredibly valuable lesson in all this is that Hendrik never just touches on the basics, but goes deeper, giving you a level of understanding of how to dial in accuracy on that last one one-thousandth of an inch. In fine furniture work, accuracy and detail is everything.<\/p>\n

Hendrik is known for his extremely long and detailed \u201cbonus footage\u201d sections in his instructional DVD courses and this DVD is no exception. The bonus footage is called \u201cFitting and Installing Doors\u201d. It is one thing to build a door, but quite another to install it with great precision. Inset doors are particularly difficult, and this is the kind of door Hendrik tackles in the bonus section. He starts by taking you step-by-step through the building of a simple jig he invented many years ago to cut mortises for butt hinges. The jig is customized to the hinges you’re using and the lay-out of the hinges on the door (which is not always symmetrical). The beauty of the jig is that it is double sided, meaning that one side is used to rout the hinge mortises on the door and the other side is used for the door opening. What results is a perfect fit of the hinges from door to opening every time.<\/p>\n

In the final chapter of the bonus footage, Hendrik shows you, having already made the hinge mortising jig, how to install the hinges. But he also shows you his techniques for getting a perfectly even reveal all around an inset door. The secret is to build the door too large to fit in the opening or about the exact same size. Then he trims the door in an ingenious way on jointer and table saw to get an even reveal. And before you think that he probably made a perfectly square door opening to make this exercise easy, he shows you that he purposely built his door opening mock-up quite a bit off square to show you that his techniques allow him to duplicate a non-square opening onto the door, still resulting in a reveal that is consistent all around. It’s a joy to see Hendrik’s analytical mind in action to make this magic happen.<\/p>\n

The bonus footage on this DVD runs for over 2 1\/2 hours in total, which is longer than 2 or 3 average length woodworking DVDs. And that’s just the bonus footage! Remember that Hendrik’s productions are not just “entertainment” like a woodworking television show. These are lengthy step-by-step woodworking courses in a DVD format. Like it says on the front cover of these productions, these are “Private Woodworking Instruction in a Box”TM. In short, \u201cMaking Frame and Panel Doors” is the most complete DVD course of its kind on this subject matter. You\u2019ll appreciate the depth of the information and the subtle details fleshed out at every opportunity.<\/p>\n
