Eventually started the funny Doors

[gazza]

Started the Doors i had posted about a few months ago at the weekend
the Guy that wanted them, well ran out of money a week after i first posted about them, so they were put on hold.
I have stuck to the same design as the originals.
Here is a few pics of where im at with them so far.














Dry fitted at this stage, as you can see the stiles have been morticed then rebated both sides to allow for the T&G sheeting both sides.
One normal door and one angled at the top to suit the shape of the frame. upstairs in a bungalow so the ceilings are sloped with the pitch of the roof.
Glued them up this evening, so the sheeting will be getting nailed on tomorrow ( if i can stop playing with my new thicknesser ;D)

Cheers,
Gazza.

The guts of the door,







This side was then sheeted in as well.
Went together quite well.
Cheers,
Gazza.

Ummmm... Is this new timber? Or salvaged? The softwood I buy now, (when I am forced) is usually sweating as soon as I look at it.

Some years ago, I made a back-gate with 'deal'. I ended up buying Cedar wood, as the deal went rotten inside 18 months. The cedar wood is soft of course, but much less maintenance. Linseed oil is all it takes every year and I doubt it really needs that quite so often. Which reminds me, it's about due this year!

btw Gazza.. If you are applying any finish to the T&G boarding, coat the tongues and grooves before assembly. White wood will show, as the boards later move. (You probably knew that though.)
