Cut the Door Pieces to Size
When you have determined where your doors will divide, cut your plywood into to main door pieces. For the Baby House from the case plans, which is 21 inches wide by 29 1/2 inches long, two doors were cut with measurements 8 1/4inches side by 29 1/2 inches long, and 12 5/8 inches wide by 29 ½ inches long. These doors leave a 1/8 inch space as a gap at the front in case the finish veneer is thicker than expected. The front opening between the doors will eventually be covered with a piece of quoin molding trim as shown in original measuring layout.Cut Out the Door and Window Openings Having carefully measured your door and window positions and made sure you have marked the openings square with the sides and base of the doors, cut out the openings for your doors and windows. Small errors will be covered by the door and window trim. The doors and windows I used were designed for 3/8 inch wood. To adjust for the wider wood depth, the openings will either need to be filled once the acrylic panes are in position, or the edges of the plywood will need to be finished with veneer. To cover the edges of the plywood with iron on veneer in the doors and window openings, the openings must be cut large enough to take both the veneer and the window or door.
