   How were the doors made, particularly how were the vertical and horizontal edges of the lumber core doors constructed?

   The edges were banded with 3/8" thick edge banding. There is good glue surface along the long grain edges, but not as good on the end grain of the lumber core. However, the edge banding is glued on before the face veneer, so it's locked in one the face veneer goes on. There may be an episode coming up that will cover it.

   Thanks. I was anticipating that you glued on edge banding on the sides parallel to the lumber core, but was/am unsure how you handled the edge banding on the sides perpendicular to the lumber core, particularly since the lc is itself not glued together. Looking forward to the future episode covering this. Really admire your work.

   I really appreciate the detail you give to each part of the cabinet (and showing us) and how fastidious you are when working, thank you. Would you comment on why you trimmed the long grain edges of the hinge pocket before the end grain? I've always gone after the end grain first for fear of the wood splitting out along the long grain. Am I just chicken or did the knife cuts take care of any runaway grain? :-) Thank you again!

   Thank you for your comments. The knife cuts on the end grain provide a stop for the long grain cuts. Also, the chisel is very sharp and I'm taking small cuts along the grain. I hope that answers your question.

   Yes it does, thank you. Can't wait for the next episode to drop.
