Easiest is probably to widen the door way then make a plywood insert
with the arch you want, face the curved arch with the bendable
plywood, install between/over the studs and then skimcoat with
spackling OR put a thin piece of drywall over the plywood

Hi,
A little off subject I know but I always get a great response from
this group. I want to widen a doorway and arch it out. I know that
products are available to form the arch but I can't see it being that
difficult to make the arch out of scraps lying around the shop and
then dry walling over it.Plus, as always, I want to save a couple of
bob. Any help and suggestions appreciated.
