I want to make some doors

I need new interior doors but really dont have to money to buy what I want. So looks like I will be making them instead. Was wondering if anyone knew of any links to walk me through this. I have rough ideas but could use some more help.

Thanks,
George

Do your design work up front. Select (don't buy yet) the hardware that you want to use. Do some thorough research into material costs.

Do a price comparison with finished doors.

You might be surprised. The material costs for doors is not going to be cheap.

This may or may not be useful to you but I thought it was interesting. This is from the Spring of 83 issue of "Hands On," Shopsmith's former magazine.

I was finally able to get the file size of the PDF reduced enough to post to the forum. Several people requested copies of the PDF via private message but didn't leave their email addresses so if you were one of them, here ya go!
