Karson,
That logo on the “crummy” brings back memories. My Dad worked at the roundhouse and the coal dock for the Pennsy. He later switched to the rip track and was a car knocker. He was hurt there and medicaled out. In the teens and ‘20’s my Grand Dad was a blacksmith and worked on the wreck train for the Pennsylvania. This was all in Logansport, Indiana which at that time was a division. Fix’er up nice, those old Crummies saw a lot of use. Nice door.

Nice post on the progress of making the door.

Thanks guys. It was fun. My wife was after me to fix the screen door for the back screened porch. I didn’t want to tell her I was making a door for a caboose and not make one for her. So I’m now working on her door.

Good idea to keep the wife appeased once in awhile. Hey, this door looks real good. Are you going to reuse the door hardware as well?

-- Bob Vila would be so proud of you!

Hi Karson;

Good job on the door and the post.

Wives sure can be pesky huh? LOL

Another worth while job well done and it was iteresting to see how you were making your door, since I’m in the process of making my two sets of bi-fold doors. Keep up the good work.

yet another reason to invest in a tool—in 6-7 years you might volunteer to refurbish a caboose and the tool will come in handy!! Perfect plan. :)

Karson, that’s a specific door rail and stile set then? Really neat. My wife is itching for a new entry door. I’ve thought about making one, but would probably need a bigger shop, or some borrowed time on a bigger jointer. Looks great!
