I need to take 1/4" off the bottom of an interior door. What's the best
tool for the job? I recall using a plane in my school woodworking days,
and it wasn't a pleasant experience. Obviously I'd like to get a
consistent result along the width of the door and I don't trust my
ability with a plane. Is there any alternative?

A sharp plane with a bit of weight to it is OK. An ordinary panel saw
will do the job quite easily, and you'd only need to chamfer the edges
afterwards to get a neat finish. A power planer will be recommended by
someone, *but* if you use one, be *very* careful with your fingers
(and other parts). If you've got a circular saw, that'll do the job
and you will only need to lightly rub down the edges of the cut. Ditto
the care aspect!
