Finally had enough decent weather to get the doors stained and hung. I had to call the city code enforcement out to do a final inspection and I passed! Now I have finally moved in some shelves to store my lumber, and get it out of my garage. With room in the garage, I can finally get back in and start on some more woodworking projects.

I also use a lot of Cypress, and have not had a failure there either. The Cypress does have a noticeable amount of oil in it, but I always wipe it down with Mineral Spirits before gluing it up.
19 March 2015 at 6:01 am #125689Thanks Gary, @gary, I stained them with a product called ReadySeal, I use it on a lot of outdoor furniture. I will usually reapply it about once a year to keep it looking nice, or I may just let it weather after a year or so. I can always come back and paint it later if I choose. Right now I really like the stain.
19 March 2015 at 4:28 pm #125694Looking good, Steve. I’ll bet it feels good to have them finally hung. I like the hinge choice. I used something similar a few years back on a small shed. Should be plenty strong.
20 March 2015 at 4:26 am #125720Thanks guys, I’ll give you a peek inside once I get all my lumber situated and organized. I have a great love for tools, but my attraction to lumber is even worse, lol.

Steve, This summer I may copy your doors and put them on my shop. The good thing about living out here is that when I get finished I call my horse over and ask him if that meets his inspection standards. He normally gives me the thumbs up! All it cost me is horse feed.

Looking forward to seeing inside the shed!
George.
So @sandy1man Sandy… Your horse is Mr Ed?
I wonder where he went after the tv show… lolol -
