Exterior door construction

[Dave Rathnow]

I would like to take a crack at building a new front door for my home. I've never tried anything like this and have many questions that need answering.

Can anyone suggest a good book that would describe how to go about building exterior doors (i.e. design, joints, wood types, thickness, weather consideration, etc.)

Failing any good book suggestions, I'll have to pollute the list :)

Thanks, Dave.

David Marks recently built a Frame and Panel door on the "Woodworks" show on the DIY channel.

The episode guide can be found here.

David Marks did one on the episode shown this week. I don't know how old the show was, but it was the first time I had seen it. It was done in Jarrah and was cool.

You might check

or on the DIY network web site.
