Composite Oak French Doors / Windows: make your own
Composite Oak French Doors / Windows: make your own
Let’s embark on some custom home made, triple glazed, external doors/ windows. Here I use oak, but other woods could work just as well (sourcing locally is obviously good, as is wood from sustainably managed woodlands).
We made these French doors to replace the current garage door to the workshop, but you could just as easily modify this how-to, to work for whatever you are planning (assuming you want wooden ones). They are made from an in-house designs, the process and product of which we will share with you as we go along.
The design is such that it is not necessary to own much big woodworking machinery, the idea being that it would be possible to make these doors possessing only fairly simple tools, whilst still producing decent glue joints. By obtaining pre-planed and dimensioned wood from a local sawmill, it is possible to laminate together some fine joinery and make some lovely oak doors.
