In this photo, you see multiple sections for the back panel. Several clamps keep everything in place for the glue to dry.
Close-Up of Rabbet Joint Wood Glue Home-made 90 degree clamp brackets my brother-in-law made Some photos as we built the initial box structure of the door, I’ll add more descriptions later. Planning out for your own build certainly advised though, measure twice, cut once. Definitely don’t try to follow our chicken-scratch. Some of our rough sketch work to figure out what we were trying to build. I’m still a novice with furniture woodworking, so I called upon my brother-in-law to give me a hand over at his shop.
With no particle board currently in the cabin, I didn’t want to start adding any. There’s a few kits available on the market for hidden doors, and specifically hidden doors with pool cue racks, but one’s I came across started out at $1200 USD and were made of particle board. With the scrap wood left over from the Murphy bed cabinet I had enough to build a door. This is another in-progress project I’m working on for the cabin.
