Coming together

With all the elements now cut, apart from the internal panels, Brian now needed to start to fix them together. The key thing was to ensure they were square, and to do any final adjustments before gluing. All the checks done, and a few edges trimmed slightly, he could now start gluing and clamping.

Because the weather is still quite cold, he had put some sheets down in the dining room to do the work, as we didn’t want to risk the glue not fixing outside. There are just three pieces he can put together at this point—they will become the frame for fitting the panels and the final gluing together.

I’m so excited now to see him bringing all the different elements together and seeing the doors as we envisaged them.
