Left Hanging

Brian has been enjoying creating his workroom. He’s been fitting the second door, which required fitting a second support post. He did it this way around because he knew the size of the doors that were needed and so built those first. This way he can get a good fit between the doors without having to edit them. So he started by clamping them together so that he could mark where the supports had to go.

Then he used his trusty laser to mark the floor and beam above, so that he could be sure the support would be straight. Then it was just a case of drilling the concrete at the bottom, bolting in a horizontal support and screwing the support into place.

A quick check with the door in place, screwing in the hinges and voila, working barn doors! He also added an old, wooden, glazed french door for extra light. It’s coming along nicely.
