Arched garden door
February 28, 2015
A semi-headed frame cut out in three lengths and bolted together with hammer- head tenons and shoulder tongues.
Make a template with router and circular-jig. I screwed the template to the wood and start routing the semi-headed shape.
Laminate the rebate. Check on straight level.
Gluing the head of the door. Made another template left the jig in the same setting just moved the router closer I wanted 3mm space between frame and door. Layout of the door, put together not glued yet. Made this jig to hold the slats firmly for when I drill the mortice. And a mortice in the semi- rounded top of the door was a bit tricky to get them all exact. Check the fit. All glued now, glued the door first, than gluing the frame around the door in the exact position. With the 3mm space between door and frame. Fitted in its place, the entrance to a beautiful walled garden.
