Doormaking: Materials, Techniques, and Projects for Building Your First Door is a practical woodworking guide by Strother Purdy, published by Linden Publishing in 2017. Its subject is the design and construction of wooden doors, a category of work that combines furniture making, building practice, weather resistance, hardware installation, and accurate fitting. The book is aimed primarily at beginning and intermediate woodworkers who want a structured route into a demanding but useful form of joinery. Rather than treating a door as a flat panel with hinges, Purdy presents it as a working assembly that must remain stable, operate smoothly, suit its location, and tolerate daily use. The coverage begins with foundational decisions about design, construction, materials, finishes, hardware, and hanging. It then applies those principles through eight door projects, progressing from more accessible work toward projects with more demanding details. Clear color photographs, practical sidebars, and a gallery of completed doors support its instructional purpose. The result is both a project book and an introduction to the reasoning behind durable door construction.
