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.

Another solution: build a quick fast basic router table 😇
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".
