I do not understand the fear of making doors... time consuming yes,
but difficult no. Buy a really food set of bits from Freud or CMT...
Setting up the height on the rail and stile bits should not be hard
and once you do it, run some scrap and keep those pieces, they will be
your set up blocks for future use. If you are going to paint them go
with 3/4 poplar 2.5 inch wide rail and stile. buy a sheet of 3/4 mdf
and your ready to go. If you dont care about the panel being 1/8 proud
of the frame then get a bit set without a backcutter. If you want it
flush you still use 3/4 thick material but the backcutter on the bit
produces a panel flush with the frame.

the freud bits have instructions that a kid could follow. cut your
rails and stiles to length, run them through the appropriate bit on a
router table, cut your panels to size and run them over teh panel
raiser...

one thing though. MDF produces the finest most annoying choking dust
imaginable. do it outside or have a great dust collector.

the nice part is that mdf is great for painting. the area which is
milled will need to be sized.... mix 1 part glue and 1 part water and
brus it on the milled areas. let it dry and sand it. itll come out
smooth that way.

Youll also want a bit for the edg of the door. just search door edge
bit on google. youll also need a 35mm forstner bit if you will use
euro hinges.

Put it this way, with poplar and mdf you can ake very nice painted
doors for a fraction of the cost of buying them. www.walllumber.com
sells mdf doors for a minimum of $24 each.

the bits will run 150-170 for the rail stile and panel raiser, 40 for
te edge bit and 15 for the forstner.

Of course if you dont have a router table and dont plan on buying or
making one, forget it - its a must unless you want to try it on a
table saw.

for paint use ben moore satin impervo.
