First Door Has Been Assembled.

I didn't get photos of the assembly process, because the door went together rapidly. The associated rounding over of the outside edges, and prep sanding took a little longer.

Here is the door right after the glue has dried, but before any further router work or sanding:

Assembled Door - Back Side

The hinge pockets will be cleared out with the same bit that was used to drill the pockets. On a related note, the panel is 3/16" thick, where as the channel it rides in is 1/4". To address this problem, I placed spacers made of card-stock in the groove on the back side of  the door. This pushes the panel flat against the front side of the groove.

The end result.
Now the first door is ready for finish application. The second door will be assembled soon.
