That Non-Average Screen Door: Raised Panels?

Featured Replies

Well, got a center stile recut, as the first one was a 1/4" too short.   Then cut a few grooves in it

After taking a small hammer to the iron, to get it centered, again.    Had it set a bit deep.    You start at the far end and work your way backwards, until it quits cutting.    Makes some nice curlie things jump out the side of the plane, too. 

 

Needed to size a couple panels to make the raised panels.   While I do have the handsaws for this work, I don't have THAT much "Get-up-and-go"  so

A old, all metal Sears Craftsman circular saw did the work.   Much faster than some olde pharte by hand.    Laid out some lines to start making the bevels for the panels

post-3502-0-58359900-1413314055_thumb.jp

One inch in from each edge.   There is also a stop line on the edge to show ABOUT where to stop the bevel at.    A  Stanley Four Square #5-1/4 Junior jack was set a bit deep.   The trick is to do the end grain ends first. at a diagonal to the grain.   Going from "high" to low".   After a few minutes of scrapping away

We have a decent bevel.    Do the other end grain end, then set up for the long grain sides

post-3502-0-96977800-1413314350_thumb.jp

And repeat until all four edges have a bevel.  I cleaned things up with a low angle block plane, too.   Now, I do need to make a rebate on the back side of these panels, so..

A Wards #78 was setup to do the rebates.   Same as the beveled sides, end grain first, then the long grain sides.   Time for a test fit, or two?

post-3502-0-03641700-1413314587_thumb.jp

Well there is one fitted.   Took a bit of trimming to get this one to fit just right.   Re-marked the second panel, from lessons learned on the first one.    After awhile, and a lot of this stuff on the floor

post-3502-0-55027000-1413314736_thumb.jp

Igor had to sweep the floor four times this morning!    Grumbling about wanting a raise, too....

 

Well, I got the second one a little bit better made, so all the parts can go together

post-3502-0-41008100-1413314874_thumb.jp

 

Not too bad?   The joints will get draw-bored tight, and wedged.    Doubt IF I will need any glue.   Top half still needs a rebate to house the screen/storm window.   Then a coat of primer then paint, then hung in the doorway.    So far, so good....

 

Who knows, maybe I will get some 5/4 stock, and make a new backdoor as well?    First things first...  Lunch and a shower, then off to my "Day Job" at 1900 tonight.    Work the next two nights 1900-0710hrs  

I may have to make one like that, pretty neat.

It looks fantastic Steve, hand made, nice, love the raised panels, I always have loved raised panel lower third on a screen door!
