Simple wooden door with glass

Hi all,

Im almost done with my double wooden doors for a new room im working on. I didnt see any 'show us yoyr current project' thread, so i thought i would make a new thread.

I have made 1 door(different design) before these two, so im pretty new at this. All in all they are turning out very nice i must say. They are made with 70x20mm( some needs to be cut back to 60x20) wooden planks, 3 layers of it. And for the bottom middle section i used 20mm thick tung in groove floorboards.

The windows I got for free so for me these doors are very cheap. Maybe €40-50 each for the wood and then some extra for the hardware.

With this design it is very easy to change the measurements of the door, and as long as you  cut the wood at proper length and straight, the door will turn out nice. I used dowels in all the connection (duvel in Dutch on the design drawing) for extra strength (through the thickness of the wood and on the heads and tails of the horizontal planks in thr middle and bottom). For the first door i made the mistake of drilling a 8mm hole in my dowel jig which gave way too much room for drilling croocked and unprecise. So for the next door i made a jig with a very small hole to mark the position and later drill the bigger holes. This worked way better and the planks lined up better.

Great result.
The cost seems high for somebody from Australia.

Thanks John. I was checking the bill for the wood and was indeed wrong about the price. €1.86/m for 70x20mm planks. Total what i bought was ~€70. I do have some leftover stuff, but not alot. So per door about €35. Wood prices in the EU at least doubled during Covid, and I guess somebody is making a big profit, because the prices did not go down afterwards...... as they tend to (not) do
