Well it's not on my home page and I can't seem to find it in settings

 

[Wuffles]

It is there, but I'm curious, can you read this?

Finally finished my new entrance door

It's made from European quarter sawn white oak .mainly made from offcuts from the door stops on our site

It's a somewhat unconventional construction as I've used 2 sheets of exterior ply to make a blank then applied the 12mm thick solid oak to each side

It's finished with MORRELLS OMNIA which has a preservative then 2 top coats

WOW. That is nice. Like how it matches the mailbox too. Thats the largest door handle I think I have ever seen..

 

[VW mick]

Ha ha I don't know what happened up there ^ 3 pictures the same and it's in general friendly chat not member projects .

Think I will give up

And I've had no beer lol

That is beautiful what a difference 10/10 to you sir [thumbs up]

 

[VW mick]

Thanks

It has taken me ages to do. But the main thing is the wife is now happy so I can spend some time and build my sys storage without getting grief

I 've fitted a few just like that. Quite common now with the plywood internal covered in timber.

It does look great. How did you attach the wood to the plywood core?

That looks great, I would hurry up and build those sys ports though, you have made such a good job I can see your wife wanting oak windows to match  [unsure]

Impressive result, can imagine the wife is happy with the result too.
Big difference with old type

Hi it was all grooved all around and then glued and cramped with a PU glue (I didn't know about tite bond 3 at the time ) with the occasional sneaky S/S pin when I was in trouble with the glue up

Doug the we have already had the window conversation. It could happen but I think will need at least a KAPEX Of2200 and probably a CMS To make the windows

I can't believe I made the new door without justifying a new purchase lol
