thanks Mel,
geez one word has two different meanings no wonder I get confused at times
And why is there a b in climb? ive yet to try a core thing and want to. Would be neat to see how the material reacts to jointing and planing compared to solid. You know I admire your command of solid material. Thinking about my mothers 50 year old pine windows, fall storm window goes on and that three holes and flap arm to close them off. that was some high tech stuff.
this is vague I know but what do we think of door thicknesses?
cabinets like Kitchen door stuff I use 7/8" min as it works to my face frame on inset with bead, we were taught to use 3/4 and most kitchen door makers are 13/16, of course 4/4 is a shadow of what it was making 7/8 more of a bother
I dont like 3/4 doors ive opened kitchens with a magnetic latch at one end and on a long door felt it bend as I was pulling free of the magnet, I know there are some kitchen builders that do 1" thick doors. 7/8 can be a pain with european hinges but found a few that worked,
Armoire bookcase type doors epending on inset or have odd time partial overlay 1 1/4 - 1 3/8 more likely
Interior home door which I havent done you are 1 3/8 - 1 1/2? I should have checked this home I was in guy did a very expensive home and was mounting doors he had made poplar stained like Walnut colour, very nicely made and he used good hinges and ball catches top and bottom, doors closed with a quiet authority and no rattle and where two met they were bang on accurate held in place top and bottom.
entrance doors, 1 3/4 - 2 1/4 - 2 1/2 for some depending on cores etc
Garage doors, Joe you have made those I think
Realize all this is style length dependant, are some people doing stave stuff on interiors or only on the thicker doors?
