Last fall I developed a draft tutorial for drawing in 3D (using TurboCAD Deluxe Version 10) a frame and panel door. If memory serves, I included four “looks”:
1. A Shaker style door with simple rectangular rail and style and simple flat panel. The frame joints are haunched mortise and tenon.
2. A very similar door but with one addition – a strip of molding applied to a flat panel just inside the frame.
3. A haunched mortise and tenon frame with mitered sticking and a raised panel.
4. A routed and coped frame with a raised panel.
The tutorial in pdf format can be downloaded at www.stephanwoodworking.com/downloads Feedback on content would be appreciated. Anyone else have tutorials to share?
Thanks. Don Stephan

Don,
I use a Mac. It may be my system but I can only get the drawings on the tutorial, no text. It's just a bunch of Ss and Os. The drawings are very detailed. I wonder if some of them would look less clinical or be more intuitive if end grain hatches were added. I wasn't able to open any of the other downloads on the page.
Thanks very much for sharing a significant body of work. I just wish I could see it.

The problem might be due to the file's being compressed to shorten download times. The compression program was Winzip. You might see if there is a compatible program for the Mac to uncompress (unzip) the file after downloading. Failing that, perhaps someone you know or work with could download and unzip on a windows system and then copy the pdf in a compatible file format to a CD for you?
Hammer1,
If you have Stuffit Expander it will unzip the file. You may have to rename the file to get Acrobat to read it. My system truncated the name, so I renamed the file as Frame and Panel.pdf If you have trouble, I can email the file to you. It is a 4.6MB file, so you would have to be sure your email will accept files that big.Furniture...the Art of a FurnitureMaker
