    Cheep Cabinet Doors quick and easy.

    I made up a pair of new doors for the Fish Tank stand..

    It's simple.. a 1/4 sheet of 1/2" birtch ply and 2 - 8' sticks of oak counter counter top edging.
    Material Cost for 2 doors was $25 at Lowes.. Did I spend to much?


    I just cut the miters for the trim on the miter box.. glued the trim on and hit the edges with the #5 plane to smooth out the glue line. Just needs a quick sanding and it'll be ready for primer & paint.
    They will be painted so the end grain on the ply isn't a big deal to me.
    I could edge band em if I'd wanted a natural finish.

    Doors are 19"x21"
