That door turned out great Jack, the oak burl panels look fantastic. Thanks for posting the video explaining how it all works.

An effective showpiece for clients I reckon. Very well thought out.

I agree, that door speaks volumes about attention to detail. Just wonderful work.

Well planned, well done ,and well explained. I can see you are a PROFESSIONAL who won't do a bad client designed
project without a fight to improve it. And remember I'M the one who said you would not be able to avoid stave core stiles!!!

I remember that Mel.LOL stave core is costly and should only be done when necessary. I do believe it has it own problems too. where in this door the stiles are 8" wide and the outer and inner lower panels are of a different configuration and color matched from the same log stave was the only way to go.

Looks and works great! Do you buy your weather-stripping parts from Resource Conservation Technologies? That's the only place I've dealt with for as long as I remember, and I haven't really bothered to look for another place. I was just wondering if you have another source.

Fascinating video Jack! Thanks for sharing that very innovative door. I like the architecture on the building too.

I use Conservation Tech seals as well. I do a double tube seal and when having a house tested for heat loss they do better than most factory doors.

Jack, very nice work. What I am most envious about is your work with metal, would like to add that to my toolbox.

Thank You, Larry

Seriously inspirational. Makes me want to build a door for my house. You have any video of building the actual door?
Thanks for posting that.

The appealing aesthetic concern for proportions and advanced weather proofing features aside;
this door must weigh what? More than 250 pounds?

No squeaks? Ninjas could sneak through and snatch your tsotchkes and you would sleep through the heist.

I've got "silent" PCs that make more noise.

Kudos

Thanks, Jack! I'm a dummy, I already subscribe to your youtube channel, and it never occurred to me to check.
