Installing a custom shop door is both rewarding and incredibly useful. In this episode we work through building a shop door from scratch to fit exactly the opening available.

Basic steps are as follows:
1. Measure the opening for the door. Pay special attention to if the opening is square.
2. Determine the tolerances desired on all sides. I chose 1” on the bottom, and then 1/4” on all other sides, which, on my square opening, worked excellently.
3. Cut the half lap joints and square the frame.
4. Glue & Fasten half lap joints
5. Mark, cut, and fasten the strut using pocket holes & glue. Make sure this goes from top hinge side to bottom handle side.
6. Set doors in frame and support in final hanging position
7. Mount hinges to wall and door
8. Remove supports
9. Voila! You have a custom door
