Welcome to part 5 everyone,

Judgement day has arrived and I must now cut up the doors.

I have not been looking forward to this as the doors are the main focal point. One small scratch could cause massive problems let alone a mistake in measurements.

So I double double (quadruple?) checked all measurements and carefully scribed the new shoulder lines.

In order to protect the door I put it on a blanket and also put some card on the underside of my jigsaw.

I then cut the top and bottom rails with the jigsaw.

Next I need to drill a hole in the edge of one of the panels so that I can get the jigsaw blade in by the middle rail.

Once I have cut the door stile off I then remove the panels. They are raised and fielded panel and I will need to reproduce the shape after the panel has been reduced in width.

And there we have it.

In the next post I will be cutting the new mortise and tenon joints and re gluing the doors.

I am constantly trying to improve my posts, videos and presentation.

I would welcome any feed back on any of my content
