Utility room doors

Thanks for the comments you post on my projects Dorje….you do very nice work. Where in Seattle do you live? My Aunt and Sister both live up there and I spent a little bit of time in Bellingham.

Very nice. Did you make your own pegs? Also, nice cross pein hammer. Mind if I inquire as to your source for it?

Dorje -

Very nice work! Nice joinery. These will look great when installed. I enjoyed the glimpses of you tools in the background.

Steffen – I’m in North Seattle, in the Mapleleaf neighborhood. I lived in Bellingham for three years. I like it up there a lot. But, I’m from Seattle, so this is really home. What part/s of town does your aunt and sister live in?

Wayne – Nope. Not my own pegs; I had some 1/4” walnut dowel stock that I used. That Warrington pattern hammer, I think I got that at Hardwicks (our local gem of a hardware store – you know the kind…). They have never had a good sales end to their website – unfortunately.

Matt – Not sure when I’ll get to the closets. I have to side (and paint?) the house this summer!

John and David – I’ll try to get some pics posted after these are finished and installed…They’re going into an opening that’s about 30” wide and the header is out of level by something like 3/4”-1”! Time does wonderful things for buildings!

Will do! You think I should’ve waited til they were “complete?” I was just excited to post another project!

Thanks Dorje. I have several of the hammers I have purchased off of the UK ebay site. I’m still looking for a medium sized one. Good ones are hard to come by.

Dorje, no don’t wait ‘til a project is complete – I’d much rather look at work-in-progress pictures – like David often shows us.

Nice work, by the way.

Those are very nice. Much nicer than you could have purchased anywhere else. Thanks for posting.

Good work Dorje, I know what you mean about old houses. Never a square corner in the places or a level floor. I had a pretty good old mentor when I first started construction that told me when you find a situation like that to just make things look copesetic or perpendicular to the horizon, in other words, toss the level away, stand back and if it looks good, nail it. jockmike

Dorje, excellent work as always. Keep the postings coming, preferably in stages so I can learn as you go.

Nice workmanship. For anyone interested I believe Fine WW had a how to article on this technique in this or last months issue. I think you could have written the article, they turned out great.
