Question
Do any of you know of a good door supplier that is reasonably priced? I'm starting a project with nearly 150 rp doors and about 80 drawer fronts. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try Real Wood doors in Slaton Texas, office 806-828-3533.
When I first heard of this guy, I thought that at his low prices, he would have a dirt floor shop. I was blown away. He has a 5000 sqft state of the art setup, full cyclone loading up the dust for free with a new Ford tractor just to get rid of it, 8 people working full time. His rationale is this: it's the same amount of labor on a small door as a larger door - just as many cuts. He has been in business for 30 years, and must have a grip on his cost - lives in a fine home, works exactly 40 hours a week.
On our first meeting, I told him that I may need some of his doors to handle my excess work load, but was concerned that if I miss-measured a door, I would have to wait a week for him to make me another one. He scratched his head and said "that would be a problem, wouldn't it?" He walked over, grabbed a full set of free born cutters, handed them to me, and says "problem solved." If I had met this man a few years before I did, I would not have a single shaper taking up space in my shop.
