    I am wanting to replace my hollow-core 1 3/8" thick doors with solid Cherry doors. They are $$$$--so I want to ensure I dont screw-up the order and create a lot of fit-headaches for myself. My question is-- the lockset bore is currently centered in the 1 3/8" door. Should the lockset bore also...

    I’m working on building a storm door for my front entrance, which has a round top door in it. One thing I did not account for: because the door is recessed, when you open the storm door, the brickwork on the hinge side ends up hitting the top of the door. With the hinges I bought (which fit the...

    Please help a newbie by recommending the correct router bit shape. Here's some background about the project. Mom has several doors in her house that rotted. It seems that whoever assembled the doors did not paint the edges of the door slabs, and the doors did not hold up to the weather on the...

    Yesterday, my dog chewed one of my Ikea Akurum cabinet drawer fronts. Ikea does not sell them any more. I went to the local Ikea and asked about getting one. They had none left in stock. I asked about the 25 year warranty. They said if it failed they would "find" me one. So they'll find one for...

    I am in the early stages of designing a screen door for the back of my house. I have thought about using Cypress or Western Red Cedar but am wondering what other woodworkers have to say. I live in Arkansas and the door will end up painted. I want something that is durable, easy to work and rot...

    I am making some cabinets for a bar in my house. The doors will be approximately 16"w X 36"t. I was given a TON of walnut and would prefer to use that seeing it was free. I like the modern look of slab doors however I am worried about movement and warping especially if they are solid. Any tips...

    I noticed yesterday that the door in one of my rooms has started scraping the floor. It is starting to make an arc on the floor in the area close to when the door is closed. I looked at the top of the door and it is lower on one side (the side of the knob, away from the hinge). I looked at the...

    I am making a potting bench for my wife and I have a door question. I've made two doors by butting 7 1x3s together and screwing them together with 2 support boards on the back of each door. It appears the door on the right is to be fitted in a space that is square. The one on the left doesn't...
