I want to put up stained wood (CVG Doug. Fir) trim to replace the old painted doorways in my house.

I've about got all the doorways done that do not have doors in them.

So, now I need the easiest, simplest, most idiot-proof way to do this when an interior door is involved.

One thing I've thought of is to get the boards all cut then put them next to the old painted boards to see where the cutouts for the hinges should go.
- should I do that, or wait until I have them tacked up there and then hold the router horizontally to cut the area for the hinges (seems harder to me)?

Once the door is up there, then it seems like you'd use the closed door as a template to decide where to tack up those small strips that serve as stops for the door (yes?)


oh yeh - guess it's obvious that these are not pre-hung doors... I want to save the old doors there.
