No, no power tools at all....Hey 'Anonymous'<br />No, no power tools at all. That said, when beginning the project I first made a cut list showing all of the door components; when I ordered my lumber I had my mill, <br />A & M Wood Specialty (www.forloversofwood.com)<br />dimension everything close to finished sizes. This indeed saved me at least a weeks worth of time and sweat milling the stock. This being for a client and not wanting to take too much time to complete, it's a justified expense. The wood cost was around $1100.00 and only $150.00 of that was their labour charges. I thought that was very reasonable. When I build for myself and time isn't an issue, I do mill all of my stock by hand. Again, I gave them a cut list but I still ended up ripping all of the rails, (not the stiles) and cross cutting everything. Then every surface was hand planed down from Jointer, to Jack to Smoothing plane. The wood came from the mill at a hair under 2" and the finished door thickness is 1 3/4" so yeah, there was still some sweat and shavings to contend with. You'd assume when purchasing pre-dimensioned lumber that evrything comes square and flat...not always the case. There's always some wind and twist to deal with as well so all of the pieces get my hand prints all over them.<br />Hope that answers your question.<br />Thanks.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07416979406500241671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6688442226358931965.post-8548871035619895712009-09-16T18:12:21.488-05:002009-09-16T18:12:21.488-05:00beautiful job!

Whenever you get it updated again!! :)<br />I'm sure you've been busy with WIA?<br />I'm using a water based exterior polyurethane for the finish. Satin sheen. I decided to go with the satin sheen because it'll have a little less 'pop' and give the Oak a nice subtle look. It's a new product from General.<br />Thanks for the comments...and good luck at the conference.<br />Keep in touch.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07416979406500241671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6688442226358931965.post-27965847003909236322009-09-15T09:21:25.230-05:002009-09-15T09:21:25.230-05:00Hey Tom, it's about time you showed the door a...Hey Tom, it's about time you showed the door and planes in use. There is nothing worse in my mind as having planes sitting not being used. Having said that I have a matching pair of C&W snipes bill planes that have not been put through a good run. But I have a plane in mind that I will test them on. The door looks great, the finish is going to be?<br />Take care,<br /><br />DanDan Barrettthttp://www.dlbarrettandsons.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6688442226358931965.post-35901146338606513892009-09-15T07:10:06.075-05:002009-09-15T07:10:06.075-05:00The door looks fantastic Tom! Love the custom mold...The door looks fantastic Tom! Love the custom moldings and Phil's planes look really nice. You've done a great job!<br /><br />I didn't see it mentioned in the section on the molding planes, but another reason to use the rabbets and block plane to knock off as much of the steps as possible before switching to the H&R is to keep the H&R sharp longer. Much easier to sharpen a straight iron than a molding plane iron so saving the H&R to just do the final cleanup prolongs the sharpness of their irons.<br /><br />Keep it up. Your clients will be very pleased!<br /><br />All the Best,<br />BobBob Rozaieskihttp://logancabinetshoppe.weebly.com/blog.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6688442226358931965.post-45616417580730154872009-09-15T05:57:22.652-05:002009-09-15T05:57:22.652-05:00Thanks David !
