Like that you are making the thing as a whole unit to fit (hopefully)

I wouldn't take it on if I couldn't do it all as a whole, frame as well, be an absolute pain other wise.

Slight workshop envy creeping in as well!

Just to add some context, how it was when I took it on:



And now looking from the other end:




It's a drafty, grade 2 listed, cattle shed, long and narrow, which can be challenging, but in an ideal location.

Update to add some progress pics on the latest job.

I had already made the frame for this door, so onto the door, stiles and rails machined all M & T'd:



Machined up the infill panels, all with a tongue on, ready to go into grooves in the top rail, stile's and muntins, I make a rod to work out their width, based on the narrowest board, which then dictates the width of the muntins, so just a dry fit:



Dry fit of the muntins M & T'd into top and bottom rails:



Will get on with cutting all the grooves for the boards to fit into, tomorrow, not sure when I'll glue it up, only got up to 8 degrees in the shop today..

95% percent of my work is with Oak, as is this.

Is it American White Oak?

How long is that cattle shed? Looks huge, plenty of space to make doors in. Lovely, but needs a ceiling and insulation/heating.

It’s been a while since I last bought any oak, if you don’t mind me asking roughly what gas it got to now for cubic foot? I’m assuming your using European oak?

Is it a Tesh 2 or 3 you have? How much do you use the third head if you have it? I have a Tesh 3 but had a Multico before so I have a lot of 55mm scribes so don’t get much useage out of the third head at the mo……equally don’t make much these days, most now tinkering with machines
