Re: Show us your Door Thread
Here's my door. I've come at it from a different angle. I like the traditional look of a wood door. They are cheap and easy to make, relatively light compared to steel and don't conduct like a metal door does.
Mine weighs 2.6 Kgs and is used one handed.
175 x 430 x 19 mm Quilla timber
insulating panel 12 mm bio millboard (no nasty fibres) attached to wood door with 4.5 mm 316 SS bolts.
downside is that the thin insulating panel will start to cook the door if left in place for over 3 hrs at temps above 300 C. This is not a problem because I don't roast or bake for that long or at those temps.Last edited by david s; 07-20-2013, 02:59 PM.

The best part is the hitch ring...it came from a granite post next to a house from the 18th century I helped dismantle about 14 years ago.

All the floor joists and sills were ruined by dry rot and powder post beetles...they were junk. Almost all of the rafters, roof boards and frame were numbered and sold to someone that re-built it somewhere else. So it was preserved in a way. I saw the home too...the contractor did an awesome job.
I have been around when a few historic homes had to be demolished. Lots of EPA stuff with lead paint and asbestos sometimes prevents saving them...but we were able to salvage some material and hardware before they crunched it up with an excavator. The ring came from a site like that...and I'm glad I have it instead of it being lost forever.Last edited by stonecutter; 07-19-2013, 08:36 PM.

[QUOTE=cobblerdave;157519]Gudday
First one was an experiment that lasted 2 yrs and cause it still worked I never got around to making a better one. Made one for a friend so I made my current one which is a yr old. Hebels disadvantage is that its soft and chips easy. So unless you drop or treat it roughly you will get good use like me.
I could work well as a temporary door cause of the cheapness and ease of construction to allow you to use the oven whilst you make the door of your dreams
