Project Abstract

Abstract
Panel doors are a common type of interior door that adds elegance and style to homes and buildings. The construction of panel doors involves the assembly of stiles, rails, and panels to create a sturdy and aesthetically pleasing door. This research project focuses on the step-by-step process of constructing a panel door using traditional woodworking techniques. The construction of a panel door begins with selecting high-quality wood for the stiles, rails, and panels. The wood is then cut to size and planed to create smooth surfaces for assembly. Joinery techniques such as mortise and tenon joints are used to securely connect the stiles and rails, providing strength and stability to the door frame. The panels are created by either using solid wood panels or plywood panels depending on the desired look and budget. The panels are inserted into the frame and secured in place using traditional methods such as tongue and groove joints or floating panels. This process ensures that the panels are held securely within the frame while allowing for natural expansion and contraction of the wood. Once the door frame is assembled and the panels are in place, the door is sanded to create a smooth surface for finishing. Finishing options include staining, painting, or varnishing the door to enhance the natural beauty of the wood and protect it from wear and tear. Overall, the construction of a panel door requires careful attention to detail and precision to ensure a high-quality finished product. Traditional woodworking techniques combined with modern tools and materials can result in a durable and attractive panel door that adds value and elegance to any interior space. This research project serves as a guide for DIY enthusiasts, woodworkers, and carpenters looking to construct panel doors using traditional methods and craftsmanship. By following the steps outlined in this project, individuals can create custom panel doors that reflect their personal style and enhance the overall aesthetic of their homes or buildings.
