Getting in the groove

Brian had made an early start in his workshop, measuring, marking up and cutting the wood, ready for him to start routing the grooves out of the pieces of wood that would frame the actual door. These grooves are where the panels will slot into.

It was a very long process, as he was taking his time routing only a small depth each time, repeating it 3 or 4 times on each piece of wood. Although we will be painting the door, we have used oak that we had left over, which will also add strength.
