it's been a while since I've had time to
work on the mill shed and to finish the
storage room but I've got the rest of
the screws in these boards have dried
out and shrunk with temperatures well
over 100° and hot winds these boards
will definitely dry out and you can see
that they have definitely shrunk some I
only put one screw or rather Wayne did
in the middle then I came back and put
the screws on the outer edges so all the
boards are on and I'm getting ready to
build the doors I have the opening is
already sized up and I've got the trim
on these will be two doors they'll swing
out and they're just going to be a barn
door nothing nothing very fancy I have
some 8 1 by 12 that they are pretty
clear maybe a few little places in them
there's a pitch pocket that I'm going to
use to build the doors there'll be two
doors and they'll swing out just a a
barn style door nothing fancy I've got
one of the doors built and hung I've
still got the other one to do which I'll
try to get done today and get up I've
got three hinges on it it's a little bit
heavy for a door but I was able to get
it up without much problem you can see I
had to put a piece on here cuz I wanted
the door to be back even with the uh
door jam itself and the hinges are uh
not exactly mounted I actually chiseled
in so that that hinge would be morti
into the the trim this is the inside of
the door I put three cross pieces on it
and I glued them and and screwed them on
really well and then I put two Z Bars
pushing up from the hinge and a lot of
people get these backwards but if you're
pushing up from the the bottom side of
the door with your Zar it actually
carries the the weight and pushes up on
it keeps it from sagging I'm getting
ready to uh put the cross pieces on the
braces to hold it together and I'm
holding back 5/8 of an inch from this
Edge so that I can put my door stop in
there and I've got it on my
line and I'm going to lay some glue on
here pretty
liberally
cuz this will be what actually holds the
boards
together I've got that
clamped I'm just going
to put
to
some inch and a half finish nails in
there before I screw it
on I should hold it there's uh six
screws in each board and with the glue
that should keep everything held
together pretty good at least I hope
so
you can see I have the bracing zbar laid
up here I've already described it here
and I made a mark lined right up with
the mark that I made on the cross
piece and I did the same thing up
here I made a mark there and on the
Lower Side I've got a little tiny Mark
I'm not sure how well that's going to
show up
and I turn you over on your
head and I've got another Mark right
there and I'll just connect the dots
which I've already
done and uh I've got a line across here
and I'll just cut that with the skill
saw
[Music]
oh
I put a nail in that just to kind of
hold it there so it doesn't move around
on
[Music]
me
I'm making sure when I put these on all
of them I'm catching both edges of the
of the one 12 so I have a good solid
connection there on
[Music]
it
okay I've got the door all put together
I went ahead and put the hinges on and
the little pieces that the hinges
actually set on to keep the door back
flush with the edge of the jam so now
let's see what I can do about getting it
up in the hole if you ever run into a
situation where you've got to put the
door up and uh you don't know exactly
where the hinges will be what I've done
I've cut a little strip here and from
here to here is the thick Ness of the
door so I just set that back it would
work as a temporary door
stop and I've done the same thing down
here at the
bottom and I can let the door set
against that and I can put
wedges in here on the on the side edge
of the door and I can get it where it
needs to be I've got another one right
here where I can drive the wedge right
in here and also that on floor I've got
a couple wedges for it to sit on and I
can drive them in to raise it or pull
them out to lower it that way I can
pretty much get the door where I need it
to be okay I've got the second door up
and what I did you can see the little
wedge at the bottom it actually holds it
up and I've got one over here at the
bottom and one at the
top and two on the the
sides and that held the door in place so
that I could actually just I didn't even
have to take the door back out I just
folded the flange over and scribed
around it and chiseled it in and put the
screws in it now I can take those uh
wedges out and hopefully it'll it'll
work well I've taken the wedges out from
around the
door we'll see how it works now
yep I think it'll work I've got wedges
here just to hold this door
still
I think it'll work it's really nice to
be able to work in the shade in the
summertime and that's what I'm taking
advantage of this morning is getting as
much as this own as I can so I'm going
to measure each one of these there's
just four long batting strips and then
there's seven little short pieces
that'll go up above the
door
okay three and
15 I'm going to write this down here so
I don't forget
it
94 okay I'll cut those and get them
up
I started putting the Batten strips on I
went ahead and trimmed this little
window out and run the Baton strips
around it I still got this side to go
but this is in the Sun and it's rather
hot today but I did earlier get get the
little strips on the upper side of the
water table I put a water table up there
it's cut on 12° angle put the upper
boards down to it and I got all the
screws in as I mentioned we put these up
they were not quite dry they are now for
sure got these all cut I'm going to get
them put up and be pretty close to
calling this a
wrap
the bad strips that I'm using are uh 2
and 3/4 of an inch wide I kind of like
that width it seems to work well it
looks nice what I do when I I'm getting
ready to put these on I don't know if
you can see that little Mark right there
I Plum down I've got a mark at the top I
measure over from the center of the gap
between the boards an inch and
38 and uh just use a long
level and make my marks down through
there it's kind of hard to see them with
that grain like it is and I kind of know
where to look for it also I did the 30°
bevel at the very bottom just a little
bit of a detail what I like to do
okay so I've pretty much got the outside
done got all the Baton strips
on I'll just do a real quick walk around
here
I'm happy with the way it turned out all
this Lumber everything we used here all
the
Timbers uh the one 12s everything we saw
on the uh on the HM 126 Woodland me saw
meal this has really been a blessing
I've really enjoyed it it's already
thought a lot of lumber show you one
thing I did I put a couple of the slide
Barrel latches there at the bottom to
hold the doors together and I put a hasp
on it just to be on the safe side I got
a box in the mail the other day and this
is uh from Eric at a farm west of boring
that's his channel name and I always
like to hear him say Farm West of boring
where it's anything but boring but I
know what's in this but you don't so I'm
going to open it up
and show you what I
got there's a note here it says thank
you for watching a farm west of boring
where life is anything but
boring
and what I
have is a brand
new Woodland Mills cap or hat some
people call them a hat this is what I
call a hat but I won this in his 500 uh
subscriber giveaway and if you don't
have his channel I suggest that you go
and watch his channel subscribe to him
and give him some support he's got a a
Woodland Mills
hm130 and he's also building a a sawmill
shed but I won something other than an
argument and I'm so thankful for the cap
