Long 45 cut on large piece conundrum

Re: Long 45 cut on large piece conundrum
I don't have first hand experience with this method, thought about it after making myself nervous on my last long beveled rip, but what about a straight rip and then using a 45 degree router bit to create the miter?

This sounds like the best solution. The filler piece can make up for minor differences between the cut sides of the doors. You also can leave the door pieces in their original orientation to one another without needing two 45° cuts.steverboss wrote: ↑Mon Oct 30, 2023 12:40 amLarry,larryhrockisland wrote: ↑Sun Oct 29, 2023 11:31 pm What if you rip the door in half then make a filler piece 1.75x1.75 to fill the inside corner. If you can duplicate the ogee trim you could cope pieces to cover the panel edges. No miters required. If you want to miter the long edge I think I would still rip the door in half and then have a lighter piece to work with.
I didn't take the time to make the trim pieces but hopefully you can see what I mean.

I like your simple solution, I’m thinking I’ll try that first. I don’t think that people who are interested in buying this style of corner shelf likely wouldn’t pay much attention to which method was used to attach the sides! Keep it simple stupid, Doh!

Re: Long 45 cut on large piece conundrum
Well, first I cut the door down the middle at 90 degrees using my circular saw. Then I set up one of my Shopsmiths to trim both newly cut edges at 45 degrees. It was a little tricky trying to move the door halves against the fence and across the table top. I wavered a little here & there, but these are old door halves, not kitchen cabinets, so it actually came out better than I thought it would. A tiny bit of caulking here & there and voila!larryhrockisland wrote: ↑Sun Oct 29, 2023 11:31 pm What if you rip the door in half then make a filler piece 1.75x1.75 to fill the inside corner.

But, I’m thinking I’ll cut the next door at 90 and then use the filler piece as larryhrockisland suggested, will be quicker & easier. Thanks for all your input!

Great work! It looks like a very cool re-use scheme for the old door.
