I'm making a new medicine cabinet for one of our bathrooms and am unsure about how to build the door. It will have a mirror, and I'm using 1x2 for the door frame. I plan on rabbeting the frame for the mirror as well as the back (think stair step).
What I am not sure of is how to join the rails and stiles. The cabinet is going to be a traditional style and painted. I want to make the door inset (scary!), and use two mortised hinges. I have a Kreg pocket hole jig, but I'm not sure it will work due to the small size of the rails and stiles.
Right now, my plan is to use Shaker style butt joints for the face frame, so the door frame will be the same.
What do you guys recommend?
