New Louvered Cabin Doors for Sale - Maybe.

My door has cracked thru at the bottom of the dovetails on both sides at top and bottom. I glued the cracked pieces with epoxy, but also installed a couple of 3.5" SS screws at 4 locations from the sides and covered with teak plugs. Seems to be holding up ok so far.

I agree, thats a good idea. I also use SST screws (see below) and plugs in addition to the Dove-tail joints on my "new doors" to keep everything firmed up. It also reduces the chance of the dovetails starting to crack and open up in the future. Once they start splitting is hard to stop them....

Got a lot accomplished this weekend due to the wife and kids being out of town.

Looking good, Jim. I can't wait to get it. But I have one last request. I noticed there's some nice variation in the grain of the wood. If it's not too much trouble, could you arrange the louver slats so the grain forms a likeness of the Virgin Mary, or maybe Elvis? But only if it's not too much trouble...

Dave, after conversing with Jim today, he said as hard
as he tried to honor your wishes the grain still came
out with the likeness of Obama..

The "Seafari" will have that authentic look...

See ya, Ken

Jus' kiddin' guys...
Keep up the good work Jimbo!!

Damn! Well, Jim made it so I could disassemble it and varnish the pieces individually. I'll have to see if I can rearrange the slats and find Elvis. Obama will have to go.
