Eventually, I was back to where I was before I had a ‘moment’. It was time for fitting hinges and hanging the door. I chose some nice sturdy wrought iron hinges and fitted them.
Then it was the moment of truth....
With the lower section in place, I was now able to get a more accurate measurement height-wise for the upper section. I then cut the appropriate lengths and sanded back to clean wood.
The problem with second-hand/reclaimed wood is exactly that, it’s been used before. Especially when it’s free, the wood will invariably be full of nails, screw holes, paint or otherwise damaged, or combination of some or all. It sometimes takes a lot of work to clean the wood and get it to a usable condition.
I then cut the joints,
Then I measured and cut the panel to fit. I then assembled with glue and doweling, then clamped.
Oh! LOL. I really couldn’t say. I believe that my voice is quite deep. All I can do is offer the above (reply to Terri) explanation
Hi Steve, 😂😂 when I said hot to cold I was referring to how similar voice wise you would consider yourself to the mentioned legends with hotter being just like them to maybe freezing probably sounding like a cheeky cockney oik. Sir Terry is also another nice comparison 👍.
Hi Terri, Haha. Of course!😉 Who knows? Maybe. I will keep it in mind. I’m a Londoner by birth, but, though the accent is still clearly with me, I have also spent many years travelling and as a result, have picked up a few local idioms along the way. A proper Cornish “wasson?” or a Scottish “wee aye” in a London accent can sometimes throw people! If you like, Sean Connery’s inflections spoken by Michael Caine!! You’ll be welcome to catch up with me anytime.
That’s a very interesting idea, Jeremy. I will certainly think about it. I will also have to find out how to do it. I am considering going out on the road to various festivals and the like to tell my stories.
Ha, loved your answer to the hot or cold question. Hot lover, huh? 😉 And yes, I'm one of those people that hear your voice when I read your posts. How accurate is the voice of my imagination...hopefully, you'll post videos one day and we can hear how accurate we are.
I'm still hoping to visit your country and explore the back roads of your area. Btw, I'll be holding you to your offer of tour guide. Lol. Looking forward to the next post Wizard. Glad the furballs like the door. 🙂
