I don't have any secrets. This is a hobby for me, I probably only make about three dollars an hour making a cabinet. If anyone wants to make their own trim parts or even a complete cabinet, I will help any way I can.

One of the things I have been thinking about is, making these cabinets available as a "kit". I'm sure there are restorers out there that have woodworking skills but, maybe don't have the equipment to make the machine cuts and such or have the machines and just don't want to go to all the trouble to make the tooling and patterns necessary, just to make one cabinet. Any thoughts on this?

I cant believe you made the router bit. thats just ingenious too.

For small trim parts with shallow cuts, I take a straight carbide router bit and regrind to the profile. Here are some pictures of my homemade profile grinder.

Larger pieces, are done on the wood shaper using a moulding head. These knives, I grind freehand. I make a pattern the same as I do for the router bits, then I trace the profile onto the steel and start grinding, checking the profile against the original often.
