I would strongly suggest that you don't have the required skillset or toolset to knock up a couple of large wooden doors from scratch.
I would agree. But I would also point out that one way of acquiring both would be to give it a go, acknowledging that the first go may be a disaster.
I think it would be fun to give it a go.
Dammit-
There's no better way to learn a new skill than to do it, sure, but that's like learning to drive by entering a rally.

If the FB group I just joined is to be believed, there is going to be a maker space opening up in South Norwood and some of the tools suggested by me and others as being of use, are listed by @TW
If that comes through, I'll keep you posted as it's somewhere I'd like to make use of myself.

Not knocking you but these things cost £££ for a reason. Board and batten shutters or an internal 'barn' door, sure, but there's so much to consider for something like this, from the type and cut of lumber, preparing the wood, measuring and building accurately, hanging them etc, as well as preparing the garage to accept them too.
