Yeah, David should really start layout planning as a side business.  But I digress . . . .

I like all these derivatives of what started out as an interesting plan for a door.  They're great.

Unless the hardboard version is less expensive or significantly lighter (I doubt it), I don't see any advantage of it over the lauan door.  I've used the lauan door blank (no boring and not prehung) on two layouts now with no obvious disadvantages.

Chuck,

I think I paid about $25.00 for a 36" x 80" lauan hollow core door blank.

Look up your local Habitat for Humanity affiliate, and see if they have a ReStore...  I have about a dozen hollow core doors in stock that I've got priced under $10.  Not many 36" ones, but they come in all the time.

Hardboard is probably both heavier and weaker.

Definitely. You want lauan (or hardwood veneer).

Has anyone ever built a storage compartment, drawers, shelfs and
maybe a small work area below the door? So it looks like a center
counter in a kitchen with storage underneath?

It would look like this, but plywood construction, 55" high, some
shelfs, some drawers.
