hanging wooden doors - what equipment needed?

Cut top and bottom with a circular saw and the edges with a plane. Doesn't have to be electric but it does save a lot of work.

If you are not experienced with an electric plane, use a 90 degree guide.

I appreciate its more difficult that some people expect, but its not

The OP has never used a plane before so, for him at least, it will be "*that difficult*"
