We have had an eventful couple of days, construction-wise.<\/p>\n

First, after months of work, we have the first set of doors complete and up!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It was a lot of work to build these, but I couldn’t be happier with the results!<\/p>\n

All the steps to put these together are already fading into memory, but here are some pictures and notes from the process.<\/p>\n

The Ponderosa pine was sourced locally through a sawmill up in the Gila Forest near Silver City. They let let us handpick all these boards and centerlined the boards to make the widths precise and the edges square.<\/p>\n

After we cut the boards, we routed a groove out of each edge. Into this groove would be glued a piece of plywood to add strength to the joints. (This sounds easier than it was. It took a lot of testing and fiddling.) These are the smaller sections that go above and below the glass.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then we glued in the plywood and put the parts together with pipe clamps. More weeks worth of work.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is a door after it was glued (but not yet trimmed to size).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After this, Brad did a rough trim on the doors and then began hanging them. This involved many rounds of putting them up, trimming them, putting them back up, etc.<\/p>\n

When they were finally perfect, I finished them. This involved the same 10 rounds of stain, sealer, and finish that we did on other timbers<\/a>. There are many other details I’m leaving out like cutting the stop, but you get the idea.<\/p>\n

There is one more set of doors to do, but they are already built and assembled so they just need to be hung and finished.<\/p>\n

I think I’ll leave the other major feat of the week for another post. Until then.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
