The doors are almost done!! But before I finish them I thought I would give you a run down on why they have been the most complex thing I have done on the house so far.
I really wanted to create super minimal doors. Solid pane of glass with a handle on the outside then timber and brass on the inside. The idea seemed like it would look amazing. But boy oh boy I didn't really think through the execution.
These things have taken so much effort. The timber frames needed to be perfect to the millimeter. Days of hand cutting, filing and fitting individual pieces of brass. Fitting door hardware in exactly the right spot. Meanwhile grappling with the challenge of half the door being glass. Patience and tenacity have been the theme of this part of the build.
But I am very close to finishing these doors and I am LOVING how they are looking. I really wish the camera did them justice. They are certainly one of a kind but not sure I would do them again. Hopefully I can finish these doors soon and get them on the house for you too see. I can't wait to share them. I have a bit of work to do between now and then though.
Next steps is to work on the door jamb get that exactly right and make sure the doors will swing properly. Until next time.
Don't hate... educate, and go build cool stuff.
