3HP is not a big shaper. It's the smallest size I would buy. I have 3 of them and wish I had 5

It's a pretty small cut. The thumbnail is 5/16" tall and 3/8" wide and the slot is 1/4" tall and 3/8" deep.
 
Moving on with the doors. Working on the glass area today. It's always a pain to convert profiles from panel to glass. The rails are easy because it's a saw cut. The stiles are stopped saw cuts that have to be carved out in the corners. Got 'R' Done and now I get to work on the panels.

Haven't cut the stop profile out of the stiles yet. Getting
the measurements for where the cuts will go.

Testing that the mullions are straight across the horizontal. When I
glue the door up it will all be top referenced because of the mullions.

Joint came out nice. All referenced with dowels.

Not sure if I ever posted pics of the house in my neighborhood with the tarp on the roof for a decade. They finally replaced the roof last year.

Today I had the pleasure of removing the soffits, installing new soffit, fascia and a 6” gutter. What a chit box.

Have never seen rafters this rotten in places. The amount of chit(literally ) in the soffit was unreal. Played carpenter, banged it out and got paid [emoji106]

Did the roofers replace the decking and leave rotted rafters?

Beautiful work as always

I have to install 4 leafs exactly like those. The owner had them made in Amish country. Each leaf is 2.25" thick, 47.75" x 96.75" Heavy.

I had to straighten out the framing and re set the openings. Its on going since January. He wanted to prime them before installing and sent word it would be ready today.

I put a bevel on all the doors and eased the edges. My legs were sore the next day after man handling them.

Not sure of the weight but all doug fir
 
Well you got an extra 1/2" of thickness and another foot of height. My doors are heavy, but not overly so. One man handling them would be hard, 2 men is pretty easy. If you were doing that by yourself I'm too old to even think about you doing that :laughing:
 
One of the teachers my wife works with just has her first kid and they wanted to get get a group gift.

After seeing the garbage they they where going to order off Etsy I offer to build it for material cost. Also upgraded the design a bit and added a tuck away step

Might be upgrading the one I built for my kids a few years back. This is a vast improvement

Unvented soffit is probably a major part of the problem. :thumbsup:
 
Do they stand inside the rectangle? The rectangle is like a guard for them?
