Smile Great Progress Steve!
You've come a long way there Bud! Did you decide on a curve in the raised panel, requiring a router bit, or a straight bevel which could be done on the table saw? bill

Steve, against all the advice you seem to have built an excellent looking door so far. Good job. Keep updating with pics so we can see how good she looks hung.

Default Steve great job!
Let's hope finishing this beauty goes equally well. I assume you seen this link?
Working in Wood a 3 part process
I used a red oak stain and a fast cure poly for floor on mine.

Default Nice !!!!
Great looking door. I have been considering making one myself since last summer. I have to get my shop back in order first. Other indoor remodeling project has taken 1st place. I will have to post pics when I get them off of the camera.

Yes it is, I like it so far... but I would have liked for it to have a riving knife on it. otherwise, it been great... it's nothing special, but for the $400 sale price I got it for it was worth it!

Thanks for all the nice words btw guys!

Steve, personally I'd just go with whatever you like for stain. I put a spar varnish on my front door so I could get a little more UV protection. It looks great but I've only had it up for about 8 months so I don't know how well it will last, long term.

thats awesome, employ a geezer to do the beneath you work, lol they just stand there, sanding in the same spot, next time open up some contact adhesive, it really loosens them up,




































j/k i know its you just bustin your balls lol
