how do i make the door???

[greekspeedoman]

The doors were a bit tricky for my build. In the middle of the build we moved & the 1/2 finished doors sat for a while (which gave them time to warp....grrrr). It turned out ok though.

There are two places which may help you on my website which may help:

I made my door from the cut-out but used a little different method.

My teardrop has plywood "framing." In the framing I routed a 1/4 slot for the door opening with a 1/4" straight router bit and a bushing using a template. I left several "stops" (red marked areas) that did not get routed to keep the door located in the opening.



My interior wall finish is oak engineered flooring - plywood type, not laminate type. It was applied with PL glue and staples to the framing.



I then flipped the wall assembly over and used a jig saw to cut out the door.



I kept the jig saw cut centered in the 1/4" opening. The edges were cleaned up with a router and a template/pattern bit.
