[Shop-talk] Making a door thinner

[Eric Russell]

Nothing against obtaining more tools but you might also look for a door 
making shop. They would likely have an industrial size wide belt sander. 
I've brought them wide glue ups for tables and they did not charge me an 
outrageous amount to run them through the machine.

Or, along the lines of tool acquisition, a jig to hold a router would 
allow you mill off an fairly exact amount of material. I made one out of 
aluminum channel & angle. Woodpecker Tools sells one (at a a hefty 
price...).
