Hobbit Hole - Placing the Door

[@ViceAdmiralMcNugget]

That's a real challenge man. Circles and doors are difficult enough by themselves but combining them showcases some serious skill. It's unreal!

[@boatsonheads2]

Awesome series. I wish you had a post showing it from the very-very beggining. This is the quality I would want in anything I build or use. Some of the other hobbit hole build videos on youtube are shanty at best.

From the year 2024, thank you for filming yourself going through window. It was very fun.

[@jaredtrainor6860]

Man...to have such skill with not only steel, but also wood and stone is inspiring to see in action :)

[@winflip]

love the door texture!

[@garycovey1842]

I have seen people,skilled thaat is.This one takes the cake,and the plate under it.

[@JaePeezy]

Thak, you're a BEAST! Thank you for sharing your awesome projects with the world.

[@beezo2560]

Lol You crawling through the window then popping up "I'm ok" made me laugh. A true craftsman does what's needed right? The rock work and door are looking great.

[@AkNuyten]

Thak looking good in the new boots!

[@n2darkness]

Looking forward to seeing more!

Love your Kolswa anvil.

Looking good mate I recon the hobbits will love it . Looking forward to seeing the rest of the iron work . :)

[@Zarumee]

The window turned out great! The whole facade looks awesome. Really impressive work with the door and those heavy hinges too, the initial busting it out of the frame kinda made me cringe with those creaking sounds, haha. Nice of the still damp door to mark the spots where it got stuck, though!

[@pixelpatter01]

Very nice project. The door seems to flex when you close it because two possible issues. The axis of the hinges are not in line, so as the door rotates the top or the bottom hits first. The axis of the door hinges has to be parallel to the face of the door. Try aligning the hinges with each other by putting a solid rod or tube between them. The bending of your previous hinges was due to the same problem, not weak hinges.

[@Jmp5nb]

Absolutely beautiful work! That door has to weigh, what-a ton? On the Hobbit play house I built for my garden I was able to get lumber from the demolition of an old sawmill, 500 year old Red Fir. Building the door in much the same thickness as yours, I moved the door into place after using motorcycle tie down straps on a appliance dolly. I could’ve built the door and frame as a unit before building the Hobbit house, then built the house around the door! Still, what a job. Once installed the hobbit house will not blow away! PS: Door needs a monster door knocker!

[@strangeblacksmith]

I can't wait to see what you do on the inside of the door.

[@katiavaleria2405]

Parabéns você trabalha super bem.

[@ukulelefatman]

A suggestion. Through bolts and nuts instead of screws to attach your hinges. They will be much stronger and could allow for adjustment in the future. You could fashion some square nuts and bolts to fit your theme. Great project.

[@ThakIronworks]

The lags i used are temporary...will be swapped out when decorative portion of hinges are installed

[@gutsandgrittv5076]

How do you seal the edges from the elements?

[@gun10ck]

I’m a big fan of the door so far! I hate to be that guy, but residential doors open inwards. No big deal though.

[@ThakIronworks]

Inward would have crowded the interior

[@DylanoTheWizard]

Very cool

[@R00365]

Love it

[@chuk11011]

A porthole window in the door could let light in and lighten the door some

[@tbishop4961]

Damnit I wish you were my neighbor 🤦‍♂️🤣 If you ever decide to locate in Oklahoma, I'm working toward building a village✌
