Little touches

One of our doors had been glued together and the clamps now taken off, so Brian had pushed ahead and filled some of the imperfections. Today, he wanted to get it into a near finished state.

After a good rub down with sandpaper, he turned his attention to the pegs for the corners of the frame. Even though the frame has been well fixed together there is always a risk that over time it will want to droop under its own weight, so to help prevent this Brian wanted to add some wooden pegs that would stop it from shearing.

It always worries me when he has to cut into something that already looks finished, but I know he wouldn’t do it unless he was sure of what he was doing.

The pegs are now in place, and once the glue has dried he will cut them off. It’s the little touches that make these jobs look so fabulous and I have to say it’s looking very authentic.
