Default Novice's router problem

Well, it just occurred to me that panel will get in the way of the

router
bit and prevent me from doing the inside roundover. And I can't do them
before assembly because they won't fit together properly.



I'm not sure I'm following this properly. You have four pieces that make

the
frame of the door; two sides, a top and a bottom. . You want to round

over
the inside of the frame.

By doing the roundover after assembly, the part where the panel is would

be
rounded, but where the sides meet the top and bottom rails, you want to
remain straight. If this is correct, can you just mark the place where the
two meet and just rout to that line?

Well, I was intending to round over the corner, but your way would work;
perhaps even better. I just wish I were capable of such precision! If I am
off by an 1/8" on either piece it will show up horribly. Or am I
exaggerating the difficulty?

I suppose I could change to a mortised joint, where running the router
before assembly will be fine, but a mortised will be a lot more difficult
with the crappy equipment I am working with.
