How to build a door with colored glass.

Form and function all wrapped up together. These interior and exterior stained glass design templates are a starting point for implementing stained glass into your door. Lightly sand the whole door. The glass front doors will keep out the dust plus the glass retains that open look and makes the shelves look like a pretty display case.

Walking you through this project should answer a lot of questions regarding interior and exterior door construction. Apply a thin coat of the spray paint and let it dry. Remove as much tape as you can by hand then scrape and sand the rest of the tape and epoxy off. Rip plane and sand enough 1 2 square wood to make the stops front and back for 1 8 safety glass or plastic.

Each of these designs can be used in conjunction with our glass panel doors or substituted for wood panels in our solid wood panel doors stained glass can also be used in our dutch doors you have the option choose the caming selection linked to caming and glass color. Nail one side of the stops in leaving a 3 16 reveal lay the glass or plastic in and install the other stops. Clean the glass throughly and tape off the window or door frame. The only logical plan was to build the door myself.

I don t give exact measurements for the cutting of the wood in this project because the size of the doors will depend on the size of the shelf or cabinet you re. If you plan to make this for the interior it will be too thick to fit the existing jamb and you will have to modify your plan for accents.
