DIY MCM Sliding Door

December 18, 2020~ DIY, dream house, Furniture DIY

We *ahem Dan, built a DIY MCM Sliding door for our newly renovated basement. I promise to unveil the whole thing one da, but in the meantime I’m teasing you with various projects. We made this one using our Kreg track horses and Kreg Rip-cut Jig. 

Check out my other Kreg & build projects.

This project had the potential to be super complicated, but by using the Rip-cut jig and track horses, it literally became a 2 cut project. You heard me right, 2 cuts! I’ll have a video showing how, shortly, but in the meantime here’s the finished project, the plans, and material/cut list.

*Kreg sponsored this post, but all thoughts are my own.  Thank you for supporting the brands that make PMQ for two possible.

When I told Dan it was finally time to photograph the door, he told me he wanted two things: a photo with Linda (the chicken), and a photo with Bruce. It looks pretty amazing eh? He wanted to be near his favourite things, and June happened to be at daycare.

We made ours for just under 400$ including the door hardware. The Kreg Rip cut jig and track horses were integral to the ease and success of this project. I’m sure you could find a way without, but honestly, save yourself the hassle and get them.

Cut/material list for MCM sliding door

For a door exactly this size, you’ll need:

  • one 4 x 8 pannel of 3/4 sanded ply
  • 4 1x2x8 for the banding around the door
  • fifteen 1x2x8 for the slats
  • Wood glue
  • nail gun
  • sliding door hardware
  • Wood Stain
  • Kreg Track horses
  • Kreg Rip-cut Jig
  • Circular Saw

You’ll see in the video, how we used the Kreg track horses as the work station for this project, but also how we used the rip-cut jig to make this the easiest project to assemble. Stay tuned for the video showcasing everything in action!

We used simply but joints on the framing, there was no structural reason to mitre them. The slat design is timeless, and evocative of some retro room dividers. More importantly  it will do the job of keeping the noise out when we eventually entertain again. With the open stairwell to the basement, and the lack of carpet now, noise will travel.

I love it. The hardware we chose is likely intended for something more country or rustik, but how it is here seems super appropriate. It’s the right touch of masculine.

Bruce is very handsomely posing on the Eames chair in front of the door. We closed it for the sake of photos so that you’re not looking at a stairwell and some stairs.

We discussed it after the fact, and we don’t think we could have timed this photo better, if we tried.  Boots, Bruce and Dan.

This last shot here is really for Dan. Goodness he strikes a pose.

Packed-up the bulk of my closet this weekend. It’s funny, with less in there I can see the beautiful wallpaper and lighting more easily. You guys, I am seriously considering a more minimal lifestyle after sorting through WAY TOO MUCH stuff in our storage room. Anyone else a maximalist turned minimalist after a move?

This living room has been so many things to us sin This living room has been so many things to us since we moved in (including the distinction of being the first space we made over, and over). It’s also been a space that evolved with us as our needs changed. And now, while we plan what the next one will look like, I wonder if it’ll have a marble fireplace... probably not.

My boo @tmoorehome has been sharing and uplifting My boo @tmoorehome has been sharing and uplifting people around her for years. It’s one of the many reasons we’re real life friends. Her design is clean, bold, and evolves with each house they make a home. If you know exactly who you are and what you’re about, she is one very worthwhile follow. Her meme game is pretty strong too.

JB in her happy place✨ AD: JB LOVES her @wiwiurk JB in her happy place✨ AD: JB LOVES her @wiwiurka_toys triangle (in sunset) and ramp. From the moment we assembled it, she was all over it. We use it to make blanket forts, set obstacle courses, entertain Tina 🐓 , and just hang out on it. It’s kinda the perfect toddler toy.
