Hi all I have some built in bedroom cupboards to make, nothing fancy or expensive just intend using mdf (sprayed or maybe hand painted).
Basic design of cupboards:
I used a router and simple cutter and came up with this as a first design idea for the doors (the inset design will be repeated on the larger doors twice to give the impression of two panels):
It was pretty simple to do, just ran the fence along the edge of the mdf and stopped the cutter at a pencil line. Moved the fence over and cut the inner panel at a slightly raised depth, about 30 minutes in all. I've used this method before and worked well.
By the way these are for my other half so not paid work
I ran the design by the boss and she said the design is ok but not sure about the centre panel being raise
Another option I have is to make the doors framed with an mdf flat panel inset using the Omas cutter set below:
Before I jump in and buy the sheet material I have a couple of questions:
Advice needed:
1. Has anyone used an Omas or similar cutter set to make doors out of mdf, and if so any pitfalls (will one set of cutters make these cupboards) etc?
2. The largest doors are H 1655 x W 485mm. I have not made cupboard doors this size before out of mdf and am wondering if 18 or 25mm thick should be used.
Are there any threads on here where mdf framed doors have been made?
Cheers in advance.
