I made an interior door out of Sassafras that ended up being 1 3/4" thick because of the stock I had. That went well but I think that was the easy part.

I'm intimidated by mortising the hinges and actually hanging it. The doorway will be getting a new oak jamb so I have a few options.

Should I basically make a prehung door? Mortise the hinges and assemble it in the shop? If I did this method, should I mortise the hinge jamb first, and then attach the top and other side jamb?

Or should I install the jamb first, then hang the door and put the stops on?

This is the first of every door I'll be doing in the house so I want to get the best process figured out.

Thanks,

Travis
