Finally my doors are finger tip smooth and my lathe purrs like a pussy cat.
Its been an up and down two weeks. I rushed putting on the doors for my dad coming over but forgot to add sufficient space so I had tension in my hinges. This meant I had to redo the doors all over again. Jake was chief photographer hence my dad and I fuzzy :-)
This weekend I have been fitting the doors, second attempt. This time perfection is mine. The doors are finger tip smooth, they open and close beautifully and tuck away. On this role I decided to mount the lathe. I had to take up the benching already in place due to a very big washer!. The moment of truth was very nerve wracking I have to say. But when I turned it on, it runs very smoothly and quietly. Today is a good day to bank, now we're off to the pub to celebrate with Lorcán for a roast dinner.
