Build a Wood Garage (Carriage) Door?
Hi.
Does anyone know where I can find plans to construct a wood garage door?
My 1937 house needs a new garage door (single — roughly 8′ wide x 7′ high). I’d like to install carriage (swinging) doors with lites (as it is what originally came with the house before a 60’s remodel), but they are about $3,000. I’d like to explore making one instead.
Any tips or resources on basic wood door (especially garage) construction techniques would be most welcome.
Thanks.

A panel garage door is just a big cabinet door.
the last issue of FHB has an article addressing such a job...
Yes, you're right -- perfect. Thanks!
