I'm making up a traditional six panel door to replace a crappy 1950s flat door.
I've been reading that the panels themselves should 'float' within the stile and rail frame. Correct?
So rails and stiles need a track routing in them.
The problem them comes if I want a traditional twin tenon for the rails. As the picture shows I'd end up having to rout into the tenons which is bound to weaken them.
Is it acceptable to step the tenons in as shown in the second picture?
