Carriage House Doors for an Artist's Studio

Bet they’re on the heavy side. Beautiful work.

Good job! You obviously know your muntins from your mullions!

Terrific looking doors, great build. I like getting your customer involved with the build, gives them a higher degree of acceptance of the outcome, should lessen customer complaints after completion. Helps sow the seed of woodworking too, maybe create a new LJS member.

I love you’re doors. I’m currently restoring a set of carriage doors that I will install on the summer cottage at our home. Our Doors had four sets of the large “t” style hinges, at it’s original installation and with that, there was still some sagging. Of course they are over 100 years old so it is to be expected to some degree. I see you are using commercial bearing butt hinges, did you take any other precautions to prevent sagging over time?
Again, great work.

The doors look fantastic and the idea is also excellent. A great way to get the light in. The work looks very well done and sturdy too.

Schweeeet! I love the Doug Fir look in doors.

I’ll be building windows for a green house soon. I think they will look a lot like this. What they actually come out looking like remains to be seen. Good work!

How wide are those doors? They look great I would like to do something like this for an enclosed porch/sun room.

Super nice, mon ami! Inspired work.

You did a fine job on these doors. Congratulations.

Magnificent great looking doors! Looks very sturdy and well made. Great salvage of the beautiful wood.
