screen door

Recommended Posts

i finally finished the screen door i made for my sisters 1920"s house.I installed it a couple of weeks ago, got lucky and did not have to sand off any of the finish. Was worried though being 300 miles from my house.

I think it looks vintage enough.Her neighbors sure did like it. Thanks to all that answered my post.It took me quite a while to start this project for fear of failing.I am happy with the way it turned out,but dang i think i will just watch the grass turn brown for a while. joe

Beautifully done. I can see that a lot of time went into the design and materials.

Your right about that,but being for my sister made all the time involved worthwhile,Still trying to make up for the wasp nest i through down her shirt, ouch. actually 8 ouches!

Really well done; love the arc and the mesh on a diagonal. Looks solid without looking "heavy". Is the yard your yard or that of the client? Nice yard, too :)

thank you. the door is actually a little heavy being 1"

q sawn white oak.Had to buy 2 pair of hinges to get the three so went ahead and used all four.
