Hellow everyone,
I am working on an entertainment/TV stand and I have a question concerning the doors that will be installed on the front. My plan is to make the two outside doors in solid Mahogany frame and Mahogany ply panel construction and the center to have solid frame and glass panel. The Mahogony ply is 3/4 inch thick so I am guessing that I am going to need to make the solid frame 1 inch, and rabbit the panel to fit. If I have 3/4" of the door inside the door opening and 1/4 inch pertruding, how much clearance around the door do I need for the doors to open and close properly?
The plan is to use standard Mortise hinges.
And suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Let me know if I need to explain my situation further.
Thanks,
Brian
