between the upper and lower
door frame; glue the right-
angle pieces in the frame on the left and right side of the door.
Here again, I used MEK.
Using a piece of 2x4, install the door’s threshold at the bottom
of the jig; there is no piece below the threshold.
Again using pieces of 2x4, install the rest of the frame above
the door. Note again that these pieces are cut a little long.
The door frame is now finished; we shall now finish the actual
panel door. Using a 2x8 piece, cut it and insert at the bottom
of the door; this is usually referred to as a “door kick”. Since all
the pieces are made of white styrene, the door kick is a little
hard to see in the
photo, but trust me,
it’s there.
All the rest of the
pieces for the door
frame will be 2x6s.
Install the two vertical
door pieces inside the
door frame.
I made this a three-
panel door by adding
three more pieces
of 2x6. The door is
now finished. I add
a straight pin for
a doorknob when
I install it in the
structure.
15. The rest of the door rails have
been added creating the three
panels needed for the door.
