Making a frame for a hardwood front door.

[John Rumm]

Yup nuisance like that aren't they ;-)

(still with prescription prices, its cheaper to buy your own whisky if doing it by the tot!)

I probably over drew it a bit by using 4x2 anyway - still depends on how chunky your door I suppose.

wedged tenons as well by the way).

I note lots of commercial frames, don't seem to bother with the haunches these days - I presume because that would be another machining operation after running the ends of the jambs past the spindle moulder to profile the tenon?

Anyway, I have had a fiddle:

to get the grain texture running in the right direction, drew it with haunches as standard, and twiddled the M&T joints round 90 degrees.

Anything else worth adding?

A nice article. One flaw though: people that already know how to do it will understand it all, beginners won't.

What would you like to see in addition?

(keeping in mind that hanging doors and frames etc is somewhat more involved than it can appear and is perhaps not an ideal first timers project)

Plus I'm sure they'll come here with any questions that are not clear from it and the article can be amended thus... To incorporate beginner's queries! Not what those experienced might assume they'd not understand :)
