I am working on an existing interior 6 panel door. I think clamping
everything down while I route the rectangular cutout would be a major
undertaking in it's own right.

I am not sure why you think that clamping something together would be a
major undertaking. Do you do a lot of woodworking?

Ooooops, sorry, wrong thread. Pls ignore.

I was in the Stained Glass business for seven years and took numerous cross
and bible doors, and cut out the cross with a router. It makes a nice pocket
for stained glass panels. the remaining cross pieces just pull out of the
surround stiles. They are not glued.

Thanks for your information and comments. It was helpful.

I'm sorry, but it really sounds like you don't know what you are getting into.
The "upper door cross" that you want to remove is an integral part of the
skeleton of the door. The panels, that you want to clamp and route into, are
floating "skins" that are held in place by the vertical stiles and horizontal
rails that form the actual structure of the door. The panels are NOT glued in
place for very good reasons. An appropriate design would have your stained glass
panel sized to fit between the stiles and rails of a door - essentially
replacing what is currently a wood panel. Not knowing any actual dimensions, I'm
guessing that a complete rebuild of the door, with stiles and rails sized to fit
to and frame your stained glass piece, is in order... And all this is assuming
that you really have a solid wood frame and panel door, and not something that
just looks like one...

I am not completely clear if you are building a new door or installing the
glass into a complete door that you want to add the glass. I am also not
clear on your woodworking experience, and more information would help with
the best answer.

If you are making the door you probably don't want to glue any of the wood
panels as they are usually free floating. I do agree that you don't want
anything moving while you size the opening for the glass but you can clamp
everything tight.
