    Very cool, Huw I am really keen to see the front side of the door asap

    I am going to show new pictures of the progress of my door in the next days. Currently working on the anchor points

    Cheers

    Hey Maik cheers again for all your comments

    The front is still plain with a temporary knurled handle I machined in brass for throwing the boltwork. I'm making a new 6 spoke capstan handle for it at the moment. Almost done now, change of plan with this one so don't need to make all the pressure bars etc.

    Keep us updated over in your thread when you've done the anchor points, seems a while but I know you've been busy doing other stuff with the machines. Cheers mate Huw

    Oh Huw that looks so promising :) At the moment your door looks so naked on the frontside I am really looking forward to new progress and your work entitles me to work even harder on my project I am also very curious about your specific "hand writing" on pressure bars, hinges, etc

    Best regards

    Maik

    Thanks again Maik,
    Finally finished the central hub for the boltwork.
    Had a few different designs but ended up going with this one:

    tbh I'm getting a bit tired of working on it now so will give it a break for a while and get on with other things. Cheers again, Huw

    Think I'll be doing the front in engine turned (swirl pattern) polished brass, so you're not far off!

    Brass sounds pretty nice

    Well yeah sometimes I am a bit tired of my door, too. One cannot always be 100% on one project

    Cheers
