Hi,

I need to plane the bottom of an internal door and have done this with
other doors using an electrical plane. But when I did it before, I had
someone to help me by holding the door upright so I could stand on some
steps and run the plane along the top. Now she won't be there to help and
I'm going to have to do it on my own.

What's the best way to hold the door tight? I'm sure I've seen tradesmen
use electrical planes on doors without assistants, but I can't remember
exactly how they've done it! There's no way I can stand it on the floor and
plane the top as before - it wouldn't stay still.

Thanks in advance!


The traditional solution:

(you can also grab the end of the door in the side of a workmate)
