Hi woodies a question about making doors . The wife wants to install saloon type swinging doors I went on line and found they are about 140.00$ 30x44 inches seems a bit high . I was wondering if a fellow could make them ,or if it would be more effort than worth?
Unless one wants them of walnut. Ot mahogany, maple, butternut, hickory, oak or anything else that doesn't cry out to be painted. ___________
One can make very nice louvered doors with nothing more than a saw (table or radial arm) and a palm sander. A drum sander helps too but isn't totally needed. No jigs/fixtures necessary.
All the points made were good, but one was overlooked. How much would it be worth to "you" to be able to say, "I made those?" The actual constuction would not be too difficult. Norm made a jig for cutting the slat mortises on a louvered door that should be easy enough to find. After you build the jig, it should be a piece of cake.
