How to Fix Stuff

[zoiDman]

Ok, I understand. Just seemed like a lot of work to save an old door.

Anyway you do it is going to be some work.

And this way it gives me an excuse to use a New Router I recently bought. I love working with a Router. Just good Clean Fun at 24,000 Revolution per Minute.

BTW - Have you priced what a 80" -x- 32" Solid Wood Exterior Door with some type widow at the top cost? They aint cheap.

8 years ago, I replaced the original front door on my old home. No new doors would fit inside the frame, frame had to be cut higher about 4-6 inches on top. Door cost me $325 and installation cost almost $600.

I think I woulda stapled a tent flap over the hole.

Does anyone know how I change my location on Marketplace/FB? No matter what I do, it shows my Florida location/groups when I try to post on Marketplace. I sure don't want a bunch of inquires from another state.

Inquiring minds want to know.

Operation Cardinal Egress is the Rebuilding of that Garage Side Door and Jamb.

Here is the Door after all the Loose Termite and Rotten Wood was removed. Holy Flinkering Snit.

Skill Saw Time. Did an Endus Removeus of the Lower 3.750" Inches of the door. Then built up "layers" of .750" thick wood from another project I did.

Also Routed out the Edge Detail around the Panel Profiles to Cleanup the damage to the Lower Panel. Then Fitted what was supposed to be ACX Plywood into the Routed Panel Openings. And glued it all down with some Two Part Epoxy.

Here we are after some Patching and lots (and LOTS ) of Dust generation. Pretty much Finished ready for Paint.

Note: All the Router/Panel/Plywood work was done on Both Sides of the Door. Not just the Green Side shown.

At this point the Door went back onto the FUBAR Jamb because a Very Rare Event happened. It actually Rained in So-Cal. And not just any rain, a Decent rain at that.

So Part 2, the Jamus Removeus / Replaceus had to be put on Hold.

That's really some fine work there !

Great work! I’ve never been much good at woodworking.

Thank You.

It has been a Interesting Project. And Challenging at times. Not because make things Square and Parallel is all that hard with the Right Tools. Its hard when what you are replacing Isn't Square and Parallel. And the Opening that it goes into is No Reference. Because the Termites got it so the Framing (Jack Studs and Header) which the New Jamb is nailed to needed to be Replaced also.

That and Everything seemed to be some Oddball Width. So every piece needed to take a trip thru the Table Saw for Rip.

I Love working with Wood. It's Easy to Cut. Smells Good. Just Fun stuff all the Way Around.

I wish you luck. However with your skills I doubt you’ll need it.

Thanks. Luck always Helps.

And Something I would Never Turn Down.

very impressive job!
I've worked with wood, and worked with structures which had no 90° angles (which I discovered part way through.) So, my hat off to you.

Excellent solution! The things we have to do when something is not easily replaceable.

When do we get to see the finished product?

Snow blower auger question...

I recently got an old Craftsman 2-stage snow blower/thrower that seems to have been neglected over the years. I was able to use it a few weeks ago during a large snow dump, and there were a few issues that I noticed needed attention. Today was finally warm enough to do some driveway maintenance on the beast. This is my first snow machine, and I've learned a lot on YT, but this has me concerned/stumped.

It looks like some of the shear pins have different cotter pins, so I think replacements had been made in the past. I noticed that the auger blades on one side were hitting each other when I was moving them back and forth. The blades on the other side don't do this. I'll try uploading a photo--the blades on the left side are the ones I'm worried about.

Is there an easy way to fix this, or is it ok as is? You can kind of see them touching each other near the bottom back of the scoop.

The blades shouldn't touch. If both blades are turning it 'might' not matter. But, if one of the shear pins breaks then it's possible that the fixed blade will be hit the free wheeling blade with the broken pin. Probably not good.

I don't know if it's the picture or not but the left side of the housing looks 'pushed' in somewhat. If so I wonder if something could be out of alignment with the shaft.

If you take the shear pins out of the left side one at a time and spin the auger, does it spin freely? Does it touch the other blade?

I live in NC so snow equipment isn’t my thing.
