I hope everyone is having a great holiday weekend.
I just finished remodeling my daughter’s room and I am getting ready to make new hall linen cabinets and new closet doors in my son’s room.
I’ve had a heck of a time making cabinet doors and closet doors that stay flat. I had one cabinet door in my laundry room torque and one of the long closet doors in my daughter’s room. I made both out of 4/4 poplar. The closet doors have a 1/4" MDF back and are joined with glue and pocket screws. The laundry room is glued/dominos.
I posted in my paneling project thread I' thinking of ordering cabinet doors, but that doesn't solve the closet doors. Still in all I should be able to make the doors myself.
I’m not sure if I’m selecting bad pieces, using a bad technique, or should be using another species of wood. MDF would be too heavy for bi-fold closet doors.
Do you have any suggestions?
Kind regards, Luke
