doors? Thanks


Sure. And all the passage doors in my house prove it.

Depends a bit on the geometry of the bit though. And do some figuring
as to how the bits are going to effect things; for example, you will
probably need to plan on a 1/2" tongue on the panels.

One thing you *can't* do (IMO) is to expect gluing the coping to hold
the rails and stiles together...need more glue surface and a mechanical
joining as well. In my case, I used loose tenons 1/2" x 2 1/2" x 5"-
half the length in the rail, half in the stile.

Tips? keep things square, keep them flat and finsh as much as possible
before joining.
