How do you build a nice looking front door panel?

Atleast Home Depot doesn't beat around the bush. These are full inset hinges!

As jbarnatt said Ikea was a win for me for hinges. They had bags of 3 pairs of hinges for $0.99.
That's a boat load cheaper than any hinges i've seen elsewhere.

I went with gaps that will be just under 1/8". Like 1/32" less. So, the gap on each side is about 3/32". Maybe a bit more.
Anyways, one I had the hinges in hand and played with them a bit, I could easily see how these work. So, the door has the holes in it and it is now ready for stain/poly.
Thanks all!
