  • These doors came up on free cycle and a while back we were looking for period 1950s doors so I grabbed them.

    issues

    • Here is a table of how much they are out. I've highlighted >1cm difference in red. On balance what's the easiest passable way to deal with adding this too the doors? Split the difference and add a strip of wood to the top and bottom?

    • there's a chunky gouge out of one at the bottom hinge - maybe ~1cm at the largest point tapering into a point. Can that be filled with some sort of modern filler, or at that depth does it need to be cutout and filled with wood?
    • any paint suggestions for the doors and skirting boards?
    • any handle recommendations?
    • any other top tips? They weigh a fucking tonne. Especially compared to our shitty laminate chipboars things.

    Cheers.

  • Nice doors. I'd just glue on pine strips and paint them.

    The gouge essentially the same except flatten with planes or cut out with a router/chisels
