| I remember reading somewhere a long long time ago that piano hinge is the best for a studio door. You get a length the height of your door from your hardware store. Your door and recess have a thin portion chisled out to accommodate the hinge. there are plenty of screws required but when you open the door the hinge makes the opening gapless and more efficient for use with your door gasket.
Sounds like a proven wood for the core to screw into is the the go and laminate your MDF from there.
Good luck.
I luckily have a very thick laminated ply table top to make mine out of! |
