Re: first door panel project

I agree on the write up, or more picks if you have them. If you want I can lend you mine so you can show us how to do it.

Re: first door panel project

thanks I just wanted to see what other people thought of my work.

There is a write up on the H.A.M.B. I'll see if I can find it. It really wasn't all that hard to do. I found that I had to experiment to get the rolls the distance apart that I wanted.but that is one of those things that everybody that does it Get a different result
Anyway due to my disability I am looking for something that I can do out of my home.
It helps to have a early 50s vintage sewing machine.

It's hard to beat near-zero dollars! I think some minwax walnut stain would look good on that chunk of 2x4! (actually a pretty good functional piece while you're waiting to finesse the handle.)

Re: first door panel project

Mine was free too, Just left overs. It wouldn't be worth buying materials for such a small project.

I don't know, I think you need a little more practice. Since yours are already done I'll be glad to let you practice on mine
