Yeah, I placed that wide ray pattern on the bottom rail centered for that particular door. Grain match and placement is a fun part of the process. Gluing and planing the stock was the not fun part. I’m going to spray them myself with a tinted lacquer from HVLP.
I’ll make and mortise jambs in between coats of finish, hopefully have the 8 built, finished, hung and trimmed in as many days.

First I used "Clean-a-finish" which is rubbed on with a dry cloth. then I used a damp cloth to wipe it clean and then dried it right away. No sopping water for wood paneling. Then I used their "Feed-n-Wax", which is orange oil and beeswax. It had to be rubbed in then wiped down later. The doors and their trim got a treatment of "Restor-a-Finish" All great products! My wife and I use Restor-a-finish on our lacquered antiques. No Murphy's Oil Soap!

I feel glad and lucky that this fifty year old house was built well with good materials and only one family lived here and they didn't "remodel" anything. Except the "Susy Homemaker" wallpaper that was so popular in the seventies. Why wallpaper quality wood paneling? Luckily it was only a couple accent walls.

My girlfriend found a way to get rid of all my jars of sharks teeth. Pretty cool. Wish I had a good book on how to identify the species.

I picked up a barely used Delta surface planer the other day. Two speed 13" weighing in at 90 lbs. Model 22-580. 125 bucks. Not ideal but a good start for a good price. I have some fun projects already lined up. Maybe in the future when and if i get so inclined I will get Shelix cutterhead.
Another ongoing project that I'm sure a lot of you are familiar with is the dust collection system. So many different nozzles and crap for all the different tools seems to be the crux. That's why I'm glad I saved all those PVC scraps.

This might not look like much compared to the well finished work others have posted, but it brought me some satisfaction. Its the back half of a single wide. Took out the floor, poured a slab. Put in wood flouring and slate tile over that. Punched through the roof and put in a new one with skylights – all supported with the beams and posts. Added lofts for the bed and desk space. No permits and I am sure it isn't code compliant, but I am also sure it is stronger than the original structure. The height from the wood stove flagstone to the internal ceiling peak is around 18 feet.

Looks like that little space has everything a person would need. How much of the work was completed with a skill saw? A Skill Saw used with guides and jigs can do amazing things!
Wayno- The Delta surfacer is a nice tool. I used to have a two car garage that converted to a wood shop in about 10 minutes. I used a big Rigid shop vacuum as my dust collection. A foot switch that turns on the tool and vacuum at the same time works great. The vacuum I had converted to a powerful hand held blower as well. It worked fine for my purposes.

Contractor- as you might have realized I am a craigslist junkie. I already scored a nice Grizzly unit with a Hepa filter and some fittings. The big and little shop vacs already see lots of duty. I'm trying now to get the hoses and connectors to make it all happen for all the different portable and stationary tools I'm gathering.
A foot switch that turns on the tool and vacuum at the same time works great.
I've seen that in videos and I really like the idea.
I'm still in phase 2 of clearing, cleaning and organizing my shop space. I expect a phase 3 and 4. Never ends, right?

…just finished this 16'x11' screened porch off the 16' bifold doors which I designed and built in less than two weeks. Fully bug-free, with screens as tight as a bass drum, and we can get lots of fresh air into our downstairs kitchen/dining room.
