[Shop-talk] Making a door thinner

[Jimmie Mayfield]

Contact a local cabinet shop and ask them how much they'd charge to run 
your door through their wide-belt sander a few times to take it down to 
1 3/8".  Shouldn't take long at all.  They might balk if these doors are 
already painted/finished (it might gum up their sanding belt) so you 
might need to strip the finish before you drop the doors off  but 
contact them and see what they prefer.
