@rusty-nail doing framed ledge & brace doors for our house. Had a load of timber delivered just before syd lock down_pleased with that.
See the light thru the panel boards, did you bother rebating frame for panel boards or just fix to back?
What track did you buy (ebay)?
Making mine out of red iron bark (external) and some black cypress (internal).
No mate, I didn't want the extra work. They are just glued and screwed together. At the end of the day the light through it is from an automatic sensor light that goes off after 2 mins. If it really ends up bothering me I'll glue a sheet of 3mm onto the back of it.
Track is from Bunnings, comes as a kit, the only extra thing I needed was a track joiner to join two kits together.
Mmm those timbers will come up amazing mate! Looking forward to seeing the end result
Edit: for what it's worth, each door is costing me about $30 to make, If they warp or buckle I'll just make another, I have enough timber to make about 10 doors. I Know I should do it properly but time is a factor here and if I spend lo get doing it now, it will just drag out other jobs on my list to do

I went and stood and watched in awe 25 years ago but didn't get given a sardine by the ranger or volunteer ranger the bastard! Your girl would obviously be much nicer Avo haha What a champ she is mate.
Northern Territory warning signs…..our poor old GQ towing struggles beyond 95kmph even on their open 130kmph safer headwind straights
Just missed recently a sidewalk pair of Randy Brahman Cattle though, really glad I’m not touring with a super sexy Y62 slimline nudgey useless as tits on a bullbar
EDIT: Protect your front end at all vanity costs meant
