Help needed for Little Lending Library:
I used MDO (outdoor) 3/4" plywood for a neighborhood lending library. It turned out well, but the door I built moves quite a bit with the weather changes, so I want to build and upgrade to a better door. MDO is really durable, but it is still plywood; so it's not ideal for joinery. Can anyone help me with designing a door that has a large plexiglass window? Finish will be exterior latex paint.
The door I am using now is qtr-sawn white oak with mortise and tenon corners. That wood moves too much seasonally to maintain a good snug fit. PVC lumber would look good; but how do I join the corners?
