Building up sounds like the way to go then. Ta!
And I've found the door hanging post.

The problem with the 8x4 is 4 foot is quite a stretch to apply all your lifting force and 8 ft is the height of most ceilings so you mostly need to handle it on it's side indoors.
I run down the hardwood strips from larger stock on a trim saw (small table saw). Sapele usually. It's pretty boring if you have 8-10 of them to do but doing 1 is quite achievable.
The bevel, a few degrees, yes that's a thing you can do at the fitting stage. I dial it in with the track saw. I'm not sure you have to have it but it helps to maintain a narrow gap at the visible edge.
I'm pretty sure someone did a breakdown of hanging doors on here not so long ago. It's easier to do than it is to think about sometimes.
