Simple garage door plan

Hi all,

first time here, so I hope you can help! I have bought a house and as seems
to be normal, have run out of money before finishing all the work that needs
to be done. I need to replace an old 1930's wooden garage door and have
decided to try to make one myself! Minimal experience, but very keen to
give it a go.
What I am hoping someone can help me with is to try to find a simple plan
for making a wooden door. It is the style that opens in the middle
outwards. About 2/5 of the door at the top is taken up by 6 small panes of
glass and the bottom 3/5 looks like it was made of wood panelling. I would
like to replicate the same style of door, or at least similar.
If anyone could point me in the right direction as to where I could find a
site or book on various styles of wooden garage doors, I would appreciate
it.

Many thanks,


Brian.

Um, this isn't your first time here. There are a lot of suggestions and
answers in the two previous threads where you asked the same question.
