In this episode I show how overlapping rabbets provide one solution to fitting the doors to the cabinet, while minimizing the door gap. I used a small shoulder plane to clean up the rabbet surfaces, to improve the fit and allow the doors to close with a nice, tight fit.
Credit for the overlapping rabbet solution belongs to Norman Pirollo, who publishes the blog The Refined Edge. Thanks, Norman!

rg,
I left in that portion at the last minute during editing; had I not, I have a feeling *many* questions might be raised

You’re doing a beautiful job on your cabinet, Al!
I’m glad you included that last bit… I was wondering all through the video, “how’s he going to open those doors…?” B-)
