Project Abstract

Abstract
The construction of a six raised panel door involves a series of steps and techniques to create a durable and visually appealing entryway. This project typically requires the use of solid wood panels, stiles, and rails that are carefully assembled to form the door frame. Each panel is raised to create depth and visual interest, adding a touch of elegance to the overall design. The process begins with the selection of high-quality wood materials, followed by precise measurements and cutting of the components. Joinery techniques such as mortise and tenon or cope and stick are used to securely connect the stiles and rails, ensuring the structural integrity of the door. The raised panels are then created by cutting a profile along the edges, allowing them to fit snugly within the frame. This step requires precision and attention to detail to achieve a seamless look. Once the individual components are prepared, they are assembled using glue and clamps to hold everything in place until the adhesive has cured. Sanding and smoothing the surfaces help to create a uniform finish and remove any imperfections. The final step involves applying a finish, such as paint or stain, to enhance the natural beauty of the wood and provide protection against the elements. The construction of a six raised panel door requires a combination of woodworking skills, patience, and attention to detail. Each step in the process plays a crucial role in creating a door that is not only functional but also adds aesthetic value to the space. By following best practices and using quality materials, a well-constructed raised panel door can withstand daily use and enhance the overall appearance of a home or building. In conclusion, the construction of a six raised panel door is a rewarding woodworking project that can elevate the look of any interior. With careful planning, precise execution, and the right tools, craftsmen can create a timeless piece that combines functionality with beauty. Whether for a traditional or modern setting, a well-made raised panel door can serve as a focal point and make a lasting impression.

Project Overview

INTRODUCTION TO DOOR

        A door is a solid barrier that is fixed in an opening in a wall to hinge , pivot or slide pen (or close).

        The door opening or door way allows access and agrees from building and between rooms, compartments and corridors. As a component part of a wall he door and if frame are integral to the overall performance of the wall.

        Doors are meant to provide access to the room of a building. They may be constructed of wood, plywood, glass, metal or a combination of these materials they are located in such a way that easy movement and privacy of the room is achieved. For this reason the door are generally placed at the corner of the room in one line. This provides good ventilation and easy movement of the users.

1.1   DEFINITION OF A DOOR

A door can be defined as a hinged, sliding or revolving barrier at the entrance of a building, room or vehicle or in the framework of a cupboard.

1.2   CLASSIFICATION OF A DOOR

          Wood door may be classified as:

–      Paneled doors

–      Flush doors

PANELED DOOR

          Paneled doors are frame with stiles and rails around a panel or panel of wood or ply wood because the door is hinged on the side to open, it tends to sink on the lock stile.

        The stile and rails have to be joined to resist the tendency of the doors to sink.

FLUSH DOOR  

        A variety of flush doors are manufactured with plain flush faces both sides and fibreboard facing press moulted often with comparatively shallow sinking to resemble the appearance of a paneled door.

1.3   OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT

        This project is aimed at using timber towards the construction of the panel door by the carpenters.

        It will try to examine some of the importance of timber to the student while undertaking the project endeavour in using timber in the construction of a pane door.

1.4   SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

        The essence of this project is to draw the attention of the students, carpenters and individuals in constructing a panel door using timbers.

        This research draws the attention of the individuals to the need of timber for construction of a panel door as well as its uses in storing and making a panel door.
