Hmmm..what patch..

Then, laid out the corrected mortise..

Made one pass with the hammer and chisel..

Clean out the chips..check the depth, pare down until just over 1/4" deep....try a dry fit...

Used that flush cut saw to fine tune the fit, a bit...

 

Next task..had 2 raised panels to "adjust" to fit the grooves a bit better..

My system of hold downs.. That Craftsman #3720 to peel a few layers off..

Rotate until all 4 edges fit into the grooves...

Flip over, and plane the show faces smooth..with..

A No. 3 smoother...That knot tried to fall out..we have ways..

Got both Raised panels done...then tried a dry fit of today's 90 minute shop time...

I think that will be just enough, for one day?   Next time IN the shop?

Will be to half lap the Lock Rail through here...with a miter joint in each corner to match the rest of the corners...

 

Which means I will need to tear this and the other dry fitted assemblies apart..

And this top rail will need a mortise cut and chopped...

 

Stay tuned...

 

How long have I been asleep? Did I miss Monday altogether?

Nope...because I worked in the shop on a Monday...no choice, as I have a lot of other things going on the next 2 days...

 

I might even go back to the shop, tonight..and get things set up for the next shop time....we'll see...

Ok...Last Mortise laid out..

Test the miters...

Hmmm, not letting the tenon go all the way down?    We have ways..

So that during the dry fits, I can run this saw along the miters, to better match things up..

Almost there..

 

Half Lap joint?   1st half results..

Needed planed smooth...2nd half?

Then cut the miters...not going down all the way?  Hmmmm, run 2nd half through 1/8" higher with the depth of cut..then see how the miters line up...

Then let the glue set overnight...

Maybe tomorrow, I can add the rest of Door #3 parts to this...

As I need my bench back, to start on the Last of 4 doors...

Stay tuned..

Roh..Kay..Raggie..Start here..

Have the required "adjusters" at the ready...

If'n the little one doesn't work....

Lay in a supply of clamps, and a brush to moosh the glue around a bit..

Including that big pipe clamp underneath...and..DONE!

As for Door #4...?

Have gotten a start on it, at least...

 

Will let the glue-up sit a day or 2...then clean it up, trim a few spots, fill a few spots...and then see how it looks...

Stay tuned..

 

 

 

What ever happened to my favorite old bench beater?

Oh..it is still in the Tool Cabinet..awaiting a task more suited to it....

Roh..kay, Raggie...Progress to date...

Mortises for both the Top Rail..

And the Bottom Rail...

have been done and fitted to the Center Stile...

 

Mortises to join the Lock Rail to the Outside Stiles..

Have been chopped and dry fitted...

 

Half Lap Joint between the Lock Rail and the Center Stile....has been milled ( a bit too tightly) and glued up..

Just how tight?

Ooops...will glue these back on AFTER the door has been glued up....

 

2 out of the 4 Raised Panels have been cleaned up, and fitted...

 

need to do the last 2, and then MAYBE try to glue this mess up into Door #4.....of the 4 door set...

We'll see...

Stay tuned...

This is an awesome adventure in door making!

^^^^^what Lew said^^^^^; and I'll add, fancy door

Took a while..and they put up quite a fight...but..

Currently sitting good face down...all glued up..letting this sit a day or 2...while I sand and stain Door #3...then will do this one..

stay tuned..

And the clamps have been removed, this morning...

 

had some repairs to do...

Bottom corners needed some glue and some Finger Clamps to get them closed up...Broken beads are glued back in place..

 

Need to clean off this space..

Ya think?

 

 

Just about getting the hang of this door building me thinks.

Had a lot of trouble posting that last entry....mainly getting photos to load up....

That 3 photo post took 10 minutes to do.....and a couple of "Refresh"  reloads....

Nice work!

It's refreshing to see my bench is not the only one that ends up a happy home for every tool I've got at the end of the day.

 

Repairs have been made.

.

Cleaned out the old glue,,,add in new glue..clamp overnight with that pair of visegrips...

So..now Door #4 is awaiting the Finishing Room...but, right now?

Door #3 is currently drying it's coat of Witch's Brew Stain...

Then Door #4 can come over and get stained..later today? 

 

Once these 4 doors are installed...they are supposed to be in this  order...

Door #2....Door #1

Door#4...Door #3

 

There is to be a Strip of Ash set between the upper and Lower pairs of doors...

 

stay tuned...
