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!

Don't use a plane. Use a circular saw and a sawboard with the door on
a bench or blocks.

Yes, but I haven't got one! :-) Are you saying it's not feasible for
someone to do it on their own with an electric plane?
