Thread: "Barn door" finished

This is a 45" X 8' x 1.25" thick cedar door I'm making. I had to make the strap hinges as it now weighs about 80 lbs. I'll finish it with Sikkens, a type of spar varnish, hang it and pray the wall doesn't fall down.

I live in a small house ( 1200 sf), so I have to make all the furniture to fit the space involved and I needed space for my workshop ( 600 sf ) ;-)

my babies, Maggie, Beagle, dearly departed a few weeks ago, and Clancy, she will sit in my shop all day and be covered in sawdust so that I have to use a blow gun to clean her.

Very nice hinges - are you able to make more? I would have a definite interest in being able to source some hinges like that from time to time...

Some nice work

G'day Dubliner - and welcome!

Nice door, very Gothic!

Cheers!

RHook,
not to mislead you. I only made the hinges for the single door, the other ones came from a supplier here. They are made in China and are very realistic/original, they would go right in line with your "hobby". I cant remember the name right now, but I'll post it when I do and if you have trouble getting them, perhaps I could help. just remembered it www.vandykes.com. Neville

Hi Neville,
Great looking doors! I take it the barndoors are really for a domestic situation...add a lot to the decor.
Well done

G'day Neville,

Fantastic doors. I really like that sort of stuff. Lots of character. Welcome to the forum.
