Hey everybody I have a new project my wife asked me to make for her. I tell you the story. My wife wanted a new refrigerator for Christmas. So i got it for her. We had to take the old one out she wanted to still keep the old one but she wanted it in the laundry room. I had to get it through the laundry room door. It was about 1 inch too big so i told her we needed to remove the door and the jam. She asked me if i could make some swinging doors. So i went on the internet and looked at some pictures and i modify them a little and this is what i came up with. I took the old molding off and put up oak molding. I stained it special walnut. then sprayed can lacquer. She really love them. I bought the Double spring hinges at Home depot. Thank for looking. comments welcome.
