I hope I'm not starting a never-ending debate...
Just getting started on the doors and I had a question I thought I'd pose here: Once you glue the door halves together and trim them to size, they need to be trimmed to fit in the opening of the cabin top. The plans have you bevel the lip of the door at a 45-degree angle, and sand the edges of the cabin top so that the edge on the door matches the edge on the cabin. Some folks seem to have finished their doors differently, trimming the door edge square and building up the edge of the cabin to also be [more] square.
Which is better and what should we do???!? Or, probably better way to ask, pros/cons of each method? Anyone who did it one way and wishes they did it the other, and why?
If it matters, I'm planning on doing the McMaster seal (1120A311) on the cabin opening.
Thanks as always... Cheers!!
