THIS made your 9 years old son? *jealous*
I had planned to do trim this weekend, but things changed. My wife's birthday is next Tuesday so I have finish shopping for her present. I think maybe tonight I will do the raised panel door frame. Since the frame is 2 1/2" deep with a 3/4" panel on the front I will route both sides and bottoms with the interlocking bit prior to cutting them to width. That way I have a 6 or 7 inch board to work with which is easier then the 2 1/2" board. Then I will cut them to the correct width. The boards will already be cut to length so this will make the entire process easy.

Here what I got done tonight. First I cut the boards the proper size.
For those who have been asking for a action shot here it is. The blade is still spinning. LOL (humor)
I set the door up just for checking the work
Then I used the clamp to hold it together to see what it looked like against the case.
Great fit.
Now from the front to see that nothing will be hit with the door.
Here is a better pic still with the clamp on it so don't write me and tell me its up to high now! LOL

We are moving forward with the door. With the frame cut out and routed, the next step is to drill the hinges for the door. Barrel hinges are great but require strict accuracy. 1/32" off here multiplies X2 over there.
Now to put the rest of the door together and see what it looks like with the case.
And with it closed...
Success. Now I can move to the next step of the door. Glue up then create the raised panel. Feeling great about this project.
