T&G Boarded Oak Doors

[joiner_sim]

All pictures are as LINKS because they are too big, if you click on them they should open to fit your screen, but on the forum would have been to large.

Right, in total I've made 24 of these so far. Theres about another 24 to do at some point.
All the timber was planed up and marked out, morticed and tennoned. Then all the inside edges of the stiles and rails were rebated either side as the doors are boarded on both front and back. I then routed a 45 degree chamfer on all the inside edges, to create V grooves on all the joints, matching up to the T&G boards that were to be fixed inside the doors. Using cascamite glue I glued up all the mortice and tennon joints, sash cramped and wedged. Checking the door was square before putting to aside to glue the next one up. After they were all glued up, I hand cut off the tennons & wedges flush with the stiles.

I then cleaned up the door stile edges with a belt sander and an orbital. All the tongue and groove boards were chamferred with the router on the ends, and then were pushed thru a drum sander. Then came to fixing the boards into the doors. Secret nailing thru the tongues. However on the end boards they had to be fixed thru the face and were filled with brummer, as the doors are interior.

The doors now boarded and the brummer's going off, while another door is getting boarded.
I finished the doors with the orbital sander, 80 grit first and 100 grit after, this was unbeliveably smooth and no ring marks left.

I hope you've enjoyed reading this work-in-progress. I'm sorry there are'nt as many pictures as I'd like to have put in, as this was at work. But felt I had to do a WIP, as I cannot no longer do any work at home for the time being, until I get my own house.
Thanks for reading,
Simon. :wink:

Simon,

you need Pixresizer!!!

You could resize all your photos almost instantly, doing a folder-full at a time, and then we would benefit by not having to follow links. It is a free download, and you should do it right now!

I could of re-sized them before the upload to my website, but I was too lazy! Sorry :roll:

Alternatively just have your website generate thumbnails and use them to link to the fullsize pics.

BTW, what is brummer ?

 

[joiner_sim]

Brummer is a filler that comes in many many different colours.

Just out of curiosity, what colour brummers did you use to fill the pin holes?

until recently i always use to use a natural oak brummers, which prior to any finish being applied looked bang on. When any stain or oil was applied the colour match was horrible !
I ended up buying all the exterior ones to try (can use for interior or exterior then) - What i didn't expect was that the teak exterior colour was the best match for both oak or iroko. I tried them all using a clear oil, sikkens light and dark oak (our most common finish's)

I did contemplate buying other fillers to try and get an even better colour match, but thought id stick with the brummers.

Nice work Simon, was expecting to see the boards going the other way after reading the title so was a pleasant surprise to see something a little different. :wink:

I think the brummer I were using was medium or light oak.
The doors have been made to match smaller cupboard doors, which explains the horizontal boarding.
