In this one I’m making a shaker-style door (with a twist) just using a trim router and tracksaw. Enjoy!


A usual, I've left the sponsor read in this otherwise ad-free member video in case it was of interest to members; it's in its own chapter so it's easy to skip if it's not for you.

Always pickup nice tips from watching you work with efficiency. The section on cutting the rails and stiles in particular is full of great workflow: no unnecesarry lifting of the rail and removal of material until your done and no measuring where not needed. Great stuff.


I was also reminded of one of my favorite New Yorker magazine cartoons: A father is standing at a workbench and his small child is standing beside him. The caption is something like: "No son, we aren't movers just Shakers".

Thanks Kai! Love the 'movers and shakers' gag! 😂 Have to say I do like the way that I can just lift the back of my rail hinge up a touch to easily slide material underneath; back in the days of ther Festool MFT I'd park the saw at the front end of the rail and apply a bit of pressuer on it to get it to lift slightly, but the OEM Festool hinge would invariable slip a little as well! 🤷‍♂️ 👍
