I need to make some low cost Shaker doors for a kitchen project using 1/4" plywood (I have a surplus of the plywood already).
My plan is to use 3/4" Oak, Rail & Style contruction, with 1/4" A2 Oak plywood panels.
I have made doors with raised panels in the past and used "Space Balls" to allow for compression/expansion of the panels. My questions are:
- since the plywood is dimensionally stable, can I glue the plywood inside the Rail & Style grooves (for strength and rattle prevention)? If so, is it recommended to glue all sides, edge-to-edge, just the centers of each side, or just 2 sides?
- how deep should I make the mortise (I was thinking 3/8")?
Thx in advance,
Brian
