After trimming the doors and windows, there is a very exhaustive work to be done, the formatting of the doors requires special care, it is necessary to take into account the play to compensate the painting, and rely on the interior panel decorations, since it has to Be adjusted so that the doors open and close without rubbing on the pillars, even so, during the winter the wood has contractions and dilations that hinder the proper functioning of these elements,

Some doors already have the cushions to test the thickness and thus to level the inside stops as well as the hinges and locks, you can see the decoration of the cushion in capitonê with the French knots, the doors of the safe are bordered with a metal ring Of profile half cane were already painted with a coat of black ink to fine tune the color and the slack, some more photos to see and to know these works.

Construction of doors, windows and friezes, window glass is 2 mm thick, is cut to the right size of each window, as it has different measures, the doors are also already all cut out and begin to be formatted, the window frames Windows are cut into plywood of 0.60 mm, each window takes 2 frames, one exterior and one interior, the friezes have various thicknesses as the original,
Many people have questioned me if I have the panels made, because I do not fix them soon in the respective sites, because the experience I have of this work over several years, for two main reasons I keep the assembly set up provisionally until almost finished , First it is much easier to work, correct and fine tune the various pieces, and in case there is any mistake, mistake or omission of any detail, it is necessary to break what was already fixed, so I adopted this puzzle type system, more laborious And time consuming, but much more efficient and detailed, plus some photos of the progress of doors and windows. I hope you enjoy it.
