Doors

[gav]

Having just started out in woodworking as a hobby my first job was to create a space for doing this. So I recently built a garage for the task.

Rather than fit a conventional up and over door I thought it would be more appropriate to make some wooden doors and it would be a good early project to try.

Here are some pics of my efforts, I hope they post ok only I've not posted images before and I couldn't find the advise topic.

Gav,

They look great in the small pictures but have you got any bigger ones?

Chris,

I'm still only on conventional film so I scanned these in on the works scanner to be able to post them. I could probably scan them again at a higher resolution when next at work.

Very nice Gav,

I always liked those wooden doors better then that cheap metal/polyester ones

They also have a better isolation value and look much better.

Some bigger pictures.

Been watching the gloat format for a while before joining the forum so it slipped in.

Vey very nice doors, as you say much better that the overhead ones.

Gav,
Thanks for the pix - great doors! You would have fitted in with the correct gloat format in the halcyon days of yore but a certain Philly kind of changed the rules.. :shock:

(The watchword now is IYGIFI == "If you've got it, flaunt it!"

Nice work on the doors-and congrats on "getting" the gloatage action just right! :wink:
Chris
It was your 'shave collection that put me over the edge :lol: :^o
Cheers

Hey Gav, Nice doors and finish.

On the first picture, it looks like you are building the cabinet "à la Norm" :norm: isn't it?

 

[gav]

Yes the cabinets are "a la Norm" from the garage workshop episode. I have to confess to being a bit of a Norm fan and it was watching him that encouraged me to take up woodworking, something I'd wanted to do for some years.

Thanks for the larger pics Gav - very nicely done!
And no need to be ashamed of being a Norm fan!
Cheers

How long did the doors take to make?
