“‘Good design is timeless; so is the information contained in this book.’ That’s what builder Jim Blodgett told me. ...It’s worth a look if you’re planning on building...your own. From design and construction to installation and finishing, it’s all here. ‘There are other glitzier books...’ says Blodgett, ‘but this book deserves a place in the library of anyone who builds even the occasional door.’”—Fine Homebuilding.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Highly recommended,
By Michelle Caisse (the Bay Area, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Doormaking: A Do-It-Yourself Guide (Paperback)
This is exactly what I was looking for. This book gives instructions for making a wide variety of beautiful doors. It covers several types of doors, and gives a number of examples of each type. It illustrates each door with a photograph and a scale drawing. Step-by-step instructions are not always given, but there is enough detail that a non-expert can understand how to build the door. The instructions and illustrations are clear. There are some nice color photographs, too. It also covers door hardware and how to hang a door.

Good book on Doors,

This review is from: Doormaking: A Do-It-Yourself Guide (Paperback)
Finding a book about design and construction of doors is hard. Hunting around I found few books...and even fewer of those were even in print.This book provides the basics of door design and construction. It's not a reference guide but it does provide a great deal of data on the different types of doors and how to build them. It's NOT a step-by-step guide or a book for dummies but it does provide a wealth of information.

This review is from: Doormaking: A Do-It-Yourself Guide (Paperback)
I can't believe this book isn't in print anymore. This should be in every woodworker's book collection. This is not a DIY guide. It covers everything from design and science of doors including interior, exterior, and cabinet doors. I highly recommend this reference.
