Subject: Barn door for a house.



East central Iowa

I built a door that will roll across a doorway that has an arch.  It would have been more work and expense to make a regular door for the opening and fill it in.  I am assured by my daughter in law and wife that these types of doors are the "in" thing now.  I see my latest copy of Rockler Woodworking catalog has hardware for such doors and I see them on HGTV too.

I took the advice of putting a groove in the base but will not use a single rod or bolt in the groove.  Instead I will use a piece of flat 3/8" steel about 3" long.  Any stress will be spread out over a larger area and it should keep the door better aligned.  

I had to make a jig to hold the router on the bottom of the door and center it on the bottom.  I used plastic given to me from another AgTalk member.  Thank you.
Below are some pictures of the door, its construction and the jig.
