Actually I've just realised that I'm overthinking things @Dammit you could quite easily make this with halving joints which is a much more approachable method of construction. This would also be doable without joinery grade stock.

Thanks for this, and the longer post before it.

My rough plan is to rent some time and space in a local workshop, there's a Maker Space being put together locally that might work out, which I'd likely contribute some machines toward.

I'll have a crack at a scale version of the doors first - I did a lot of model making when I was an Architecture student that may help here. I have a fair pile of tools from framing out my flat, building the bathrooms, cutting the parquet for the hall etc, but nothing like a thicknesser and so forth, and frankly very little experience of making proper joints apart from some workbenches I made years ago.
