Great work wonderful doors

-- Jim from Heirloom Woodshop Southern Oregon

Very nice, they look brand new, when I heard they were built in 2002 i was surprised. Great work!

Ah, Man!! We don’t get to look inside?! :)
You really made a Grand Entrance there, Scott, Beautiful Job and Work!!

You neglected to point out the Delta Super 900 RAS tucked in the shop too!

-- -- Mark in Fort Wayne, IN

beautiful doors! Don’t worry about the mess. I think everybody’s shop has some kind of mess in it.

-- John in Arizona (but it's a dry heat!)

Great doors, but your heater scares me!

-- AJJ, Eugene OR

They don’t call it a super 900 for nothing, the most accurate saw in my shop! The wood stove has been faithful for almost 30 years but I want to make a new one soon as I can make one more beautiful & with afterburners, catalyzer & more artful design. Oh yeah the first wood stove I built only lasted for one fire! (Maybe I shouldn’t have made it out of oak)

You have a God given talent working with wood and metal. Thanks for posting.

Great looking shop doors, nice work. I have double glass doors on one side of my shop, but they sure aren’t as nice as yours! I liked your unique shop-made stove too, first class metal working. I wish I knew more about metal work. The problem is that I have to give my full attention just to learn anything about woodworking. You mentioned the spirituality of woodworking and I feel that too. When I go out to the shop I almost feel like I am entering a shrine (at least when it’s clean and everything is put away). Welcome to LJ. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Being multi-skilled can be a real blessing…...well done all round $tudie.

-- I will just keep doing it till I get it right.

Hi $tudie;

Great set of doors.

I bet those stoves were fun to make.

Too bad about the beamer, but it’s for a good cause you leave it outside!

Beautiful! I was wondering how or where you acquired those strap hinges, and figured you had to have made them to accommodate the upper angle. Excellent job. Now you’ll have to build a bigger garage/shop for your Beemer and trucks!

-- Bob Vila would be so proud of you!

Thanks Dadoo, yes I had to weld the spears onto the hinge body then grind & sand flat. The top hinges had to be made at an angle as you can see. My Shopsmith is great for sanding steel edges with the 12” sanding disk. I like to set it at 15 degrees rather than 0 or actually 90. It’s little details that make the difference!

WOW Great Lookin Doors

-- Jim, Kentucky

Awesome Doors!
Love the detail on the opening trim as well.
I am putting up a steel building next year and a set of doors like this might be a nice way to break up the monotony.
What, not one mention of the shop dog???
What type of hinges did you use, weld on?
Sikkens, the only way to go.
I did a clear cedar deck 15 years ago and with a yearly maintenance coat, still looks brand new!
