 And all you're going to need is a friend, really, to help you lift it onto a sawhorse because they do get kind of heavy. Now, you also asked about sanding. You can start sanding by hand, although I will say it's a lot easier if you have a vibrating sander like a palm sander. If you do opt for hand sanding and your door features detail like raised panels, take a look at 3M's sanding sponges. They kind of squish so you can get into all of those nooks and crannies very easily.
