Completed project with thanks to memebers of this forum

johne

the method youve used is right for your setting and it looks good

in my case it was an edwardian house in a very expensive area, with many of the original features, panelled hallway, reeded door stops, architraves 4 inch finished size etc

using your door design wouldnt have looked right in my case

your design is traditional but in a more simple style it looks more shaker / arts and crafts

this house is traditional edwardian with more ornate styling, just what the shakers and arts and craft movements were avoiding

ive used your door design before but 6mm faux stiles and rails on 18mm, rather than your 6 on 12

16mm mdf is not a standard thickness here

 
Thanks Dirtydeeds for the explanation,

I sort of thought this would be your answer, good to know that you're obviously the kind of person that feels that details make the difference.

And once again fantastic job.
 
as always you have been kind

to me its pure luck......... that time i got clients who would pay the right money for the right job in the right setting

most of my clients cant afford this type of work, hence i wont be able to post in "member projects" too often

"fitting a door" in member projects doesnt quite make it in my eyes

but the next time i get a box sash window in REALLY BAD condition i will post it because most of you guys wont have seen one or believe the amount of work involved
 
DD,
Good deal with the deal
Looks like the kind of job that is had to price.
Well done.
Bob
 
yes pricing this work is difficult its based on material costs plus a feel of how long it might take

i have recently been timing some bench operations to get a better feel for the outputs
