One of the things I like most about my Palm Beach are the louvered cabinet doors. I think they look rich and elegant even though they rattle and rack. Some of the larger doors are kind of wobbly. My friend has a Kreg pocket-screw jig and suggested I try it.
Well, the first door took about 30 minutes to get past my learning curve and trepidation about drilling into my beloved cabinets. The rest of the doors took less than an hour in total. They are nicely tight with no more racking and I’m hopeful that they’ll be a little quieter. Along with the Feed N Wax polish that Jerry Work suggested these are looking very nice. This is the tool I used and would recommend it to anyone who wants to build with pocket screws <http://www.kregtool.com/Kreg-Jigreg-R3-Prodview.html>

You can buy it at many places, but Jerry Work sells it too. It’s Beeswax in Orange oil to penetrate and protect the wood. My louvers were so bleached and dry that I applied multiple coats and they really brought back the glow of the wood. Still the interior of the cabinet doors is pristine and the exterior is not quite there, but I’m not complaining. Here’s the website for the product...

And here is Jerry’s website. I’d have bought from him, but he was across the country at the time having fun. And it’s such a small purchase it just made sense to buy it here in town at my local Ace Hardware store.
