Building Doors & Gates: Instructions, Techniques and Over 100 Designs

Excellent book! And it’s actually enjoyable to read cover to cover, so be sure to do that, and it’s a great book to then keep for reference. Whatever stage of advancement you’re at with woodworking, you’ll learn from this book, and most importantly, it’s written and laid out in such a way that the vast amount of information in there is easily digestible!

I bought it for woodworking, namely making doors and gates, but it would also appeal to anyone interested in architecture, or the history of buildings, etc.From simple to ornate, and complex, broken down into how they're made.Got my copy used, but apart from the cover being slightly curled in the corner, it's mint. Recommended.

I purchased this book for my husband who had been trying to design some very large wooden doors for our new workshop. He flipped when he saw it and has now solved all the problems he had initially. Ok the doors are not finished yet but he rates this book very highly - as does my father who is now planning to make his own windows !

pretty good and coprehensive.. a bit too advanced for me as a DIY er but lots of good ideas and designs

This is a well written and highly informative book. I used the four panel door plan and converted it to join some paneled french doors for the house, this book was invaluable.

This is a very good book to the insight and history of gates and doors, very imformative and a good read.

This is a good reference for any joinery shop, useful to show clients options too.

Bit out of date but gives you the principals so as a novice now confident to design my own gates and doors so pleased.
