How to do this project

Door making is rather simple however it takes some attention to detail and patience to make them go together well. I prefer at least a 2” extended tenon with draw bore pins to lock them in place. When making doors with floating panels be sure to make the panels about an 1/8” smaller, all the way around, than the size of the opening. Use rubber panel spacers, also called space balls, to fill the gap. This will allow for expansion and contraction throughout seasons without stress.
