RE: "we have a Plan" - bandit571 - 10-20-2024
Worked on the parts for the last door...Film @2300 hrs....Right now, the half lap joint between the center Stile , and the Lock Rail is sitting in a pile of clamps, waiting on glue to dry....
All 4 mortises are done....need to get the Raised Panels cleaned up and fitted....Maybe a Glue up of Door #4 tomorrow?
Stay tuned..

[attachment=52890]
Not sure where I'll sit that "Barky" Live edge at...yet...
If I can get to the shop, I can get the last 2 Raised Panels ready to go...and might even try to glue up Door #4....of the 4 door Set of Doors...
Stay tuned...

Well...it tried to put up a fight...but..
[attachment=52896]
Door #4 is now in the clamps, awaiting the glue to cure...
Tomorrow...will see about getting Door #3 sanded and stained....and go from there..
RE: "we have a Plan" - bandit571 - 10-22-2024
Well...this morning, clamps came off Door #4...
[attachment=52902]
There was a couple spots that needed extra work..
[attachment=52903]
The bottom corners, where the stiles attach to the rails...did not get glued all the way down....spread some glue into the open spaces...Visegrip padded finger clamps to clamp things down.
2 beads had broken off a while back....this morning, they were glued back in place..
A few of the larger gaps have been filled...awaiting the ROS's attentions...
Have both Door #3 and Door #4 to sand, stain ( Witch's Brew) sand, varnish, and sand a final time...
Waiting on the Boss to paint the Bathroom walls...BEFORE I go to hang the 4 new doors....bad form to have paint splatters on them...
Stay tuned...Tomorrow is going to be a very dusty day.....
Plus, I need to clear this mess off of my bench...
[attachment=52904]
I think I am about done with most of these tools...
RE: "we have a Plan" - bandit571 - 10-25-2024

[attachment=52910]
So I can stain Door #4..

So, turn a work light on..
[attachment=52912]
Door #3..get one end varnished, rotate and varnish the over end...with a scrap 1 x2 between it and the floor..
[attachment=52913]
Door #4 stayed on top of the Tablesaw...got one end and edge varnished....rotate around, and do the rest..
[attachment=52914]
Will let these 2 doors sit for most of today...rub them down this evening...
Tomorrow? Walls and trim in the Bathroom are getting painted ( without painting ME in the process) Colour is White...Brush to "cut in". roller with handle for the rest...might be an all-day affair...
Let the paint dry a day or 2...then come back and switch the old closet doors for these new doors....

Looking good Bandit! (As usual)
RE: "we have a Plan" - bandit571 - 10-29-2024
A Work in Progress....
[attachment=52927]
Old doors have been removed...took a lot of work...and..I was NOT very gentle about it...
2 New Doors have been installed...
[attachment=52928]
The doors I built are square...the opening is not...
Letting me and the work clothes dry out a bit...and all the cramps to die down....still have the other 2 doors to bring up out of the shop...and install them...and, make a divider between the 2 sets of doors...
71 yr old legs do NOT like standing on a ladder for almost an hour...
Lunch break is almost over..time to get back to work...SLOWLY...
RE: "we have a Plan" - bandit571 - 10-29-2024
Hauled one door upstairs..and sized the divider...
Then...lost all use of my left hand...due to it being cramped up tight...
Try again tomorrow, eh
