Hi. I've just moved into a Victorian house which has the original front door which has sadly warped. I thought it'd be quite a fun project to build my own door but there doesn't seem to be a lot of people online doing it. I was thinking a couple of sheets of 22mm ply sandwiching 5mm of some insulating board (except round the edges which'd have 5mm ply to hold the thing together. I'd transfer the original stained glass panels from the old door into the new. I could then build up some paneling on the front and back using moldings etc.
Is this viable or is there a lot more to door construction than I anticipate? I'd end up painting the door so I don't need to worry about veneers or anything like that
