Making a Door isn’t the average DIY job but with the right woodworking tools  and the right information its not too difficult. I’ve made my own timber front door and recorded how I’ve done it.

Have a look to see if it’s something you fancy tackling. I’ve included all the design and dimensions for making the door. Written and videoed the processes for a step by step, how to make a door guide.

Follow these plans for victorian style door and the ‘how to make a door guide’ to end up with a door like this.  

 

If it’s been a lack a available traditional style door plans that has put you off in the past, my appologies, now you have no excuse not to make you own door.
