latest project

[Bandaid]

Im actually a woodworker by trade.. but i thought i would swing a little metal work into my work... here is a screendoor i made with solid alder. I have a long way to go with learning to weld better... i understand the basics but am definitally taking a pretty serious interest... these boards are awsome and thank you guys for all that i have learned so far.

I like that visual effect, especially combined with the woodwork! Very nice.

???Can you provide more details as to the construction?

[Bandaid]

the wood stiles and rails are solid knotty alder. everything else is 1/8 x 1/2 flatbar that i put through a small ring roller to get to the right size... everything was kinda by feel after that. the flatbar insert is thinner than the actual door so i can install a screen or a storm window inside of it. I build custom solid wood doors for people depending on what the customer wants... i would like to get into the metalworking inside the doors that is why i started this piece... i have some more designs im working on with all different types of steel.

The first thing that came to my mind when I saw that was bubbles! Very nice work.

I was thinking bubbles too! Probly look even more like bubbles when it's turned up on end. Very creative.

Any installed/finished pics? Looking to make my own door and, since I've never had a screen/storm door...wanna see how these get mounted in the doorframe..

I could go to Lowe's and copy them...but I gotta hand it to ya..I'd rather copy the masters...

Nice work.Look forward to seeing some more.

Where did you find or how did you make the rings? Pretty slick door. You had to measure the metal frame twice I bet. So you jigged it, build it and screwed it to the wood after?
