Garage doors

[Benchwayze]

Very nice indeed.
You must have a very 'accommodating' planning authority, and tolerant neighbours.

I have the space, but I dare not even approach the Council for planning. They would descend on me with all guns blazing, neighbours included.

Best of luck in your new shop.

Well as mattty suggested i fit a weather strip on the frame, here's some picture of it being made.

Cutting a 45 degree chamfer for the top to help the water run off.

Finishing of the chamfer on the surface planer.

And finally a few shaving with a smoothing plane.

Finished weather strip/drip grove.

Weather strip fitted and doors top coated

How the insides looking.

And how the back of the doors look, will be painted white soon.

getting there :lol:

thanks

Superb! 8)

One question - are those hinges just screwed on to the frame or have you managed to bolt them as well? I've looked at using those before but I'm that concerned someone (well, at least two people! ) would be able to remove both doors... :?

Or, you've probably fitted hinge bolts or something?

There are just screwed at the monument Ollie, I'm still thinking maybe bolting them. But after thinking, they are extremely heavy, just about the most u'd want to lift between two of you. Also the are padlocked together on the inside, so you would have to lift the two . And also there are alarmed, but i might still bolt them 8).


Thanks

Yes an amazing build JH, A couple of questions if I may:
1) Treating the wood, before you got to the coats of paint, you mentioned 'greening it.' Is that some sort of preservative? Looked a bit like dilute cuprinol. So what was the green treatment, and was it applied allover including underneath the priming, or was it just for the internal surface?
2) Is this palace of a workshop the start of your business? If so good luck, if it is purely for private work then then the idea of jealousy comes to mind.

Thanks for sharing.
