Sometimes you just want to do something else than stain or chink or code. So I picked a fun project.
Nothing more Wild West than saloon doors, right?
with two sets of double hinges and again some left over cedar wood,
I came up with these:
The shape is inspired by the bar, and created with a dinner plate as a template for the curves.
I still have to tweak them a little, as the sides hit each other in the center, but they do function; you simply push in the direction you want to go and they swing back to the closed position afterwards. Also, they need to be stained and sanded really smooth, to make it easy to “walk through” the doors,
without the wood catching your clothing.
Now someone can walk from the bedroom to the bathroom butt naked and all private parts would be well covered by the doors.
Cool! But we obviously need to have that last statement verified… 🙂
Please Arnoud… verification ok but not B himself please. Private parts to be seen or not…
I’d like to invite a model to test it. Maybe I should try crowdfunding her 🙂
Geweldig zijn deze saloon doors!!
Thanks Lois, kom je ze ook een keertje van dichtbij bekijken? 😉
Do we have a volunteer? 🙂
