All Weather Front Door

Looks nice. What finish did you use to hold up to the weather? The insulated plywood torsion box is a clever idea.

Another “tricky” piece of work Paul, but then why aren’t I;m supprised, great door Mate, has a bit of a medievale look about it to my eye,
Just fabulous
Man I would love your all round skills :: ))

Hi Paul,

You are every bit as anal as I am. Which is great news…wait till I tell my wife. I told her there were others as bad as I am. LOL

Great job.

Nice work here as always. At first glance I thought you had incorporated some marquetry but I think they are real.

Leave it to a boat builder to come up with this. I wouldn’t be surprised if you used the same clear epoxy finish you used on your boats. Nice work Paul. I’m betting they’ll last longer than any commercial door and how nice to have a 42” opening on moving day.

I agree. It looks like the boat builder came out to play.
Well done.

Nice to know that they are holding up. The wife unit and I were just talking the other day about the kitchen cabinets that I built 15 years ago. They are still working extremely well. Funny how time flies. It is fun to look back at old projects.

I bet you epoxied it.

Beautiful doors, Paul. I love the shape and I like the little window with the door and grate on it. That is so neat.
My friend,Doug, has one like that and it is like a castle door when he opens that little door on the window!!
