I then set about making a door. Rails and stiles were made from 3/4″ stock. The stiles are about 1″ wide and the rails are about 1-1/2″ tall.
I ran grooves for a panel in the rails and stiles and then made some mortise and tenons.
This step I did over a couple of times as I made sloppy cuts and twisty tenons.

I not only clamped the rails into the stiles to pull the joints together, but I also clamped the whole assembly to a flat board so that I could make sure it would not glue up with any twist.
I planed the face flat, skewing the plane across the joints.

You can see how the glass panel is held in with a small piece of trim that I ripped up. The trim is screwed in to hold the glass. This way it can be taken apart if the glass is broken.
