<div class="">I am installing a barn door in my recently remodeled

help with. Â I need to put up a pair of 8â?? x 30" barn doors, one
of which will slide in next to a tall kitchen cabinet. Â So, not
exactly a pocket door, but it needs to fit into a pocket. Â When
we designed/installed the kitchen cabinets we planned the

had anything that would cheaply do the trick, at least for the
holidays. Â To our surprise, they had a pair of new, really nice,
8x30 shaker style doors for $50 each that would look really good
in the house. Â They are solid wood, I think poplar, and the only
problem is that they are 1 3/4â?? thick. Â I bought them anyway,
figuring I could always donate them back if there wasnâ??t a good
way to make them work. </div>

<div class="">I currently have a good bench top planer that I
