1st time builder cutting doors

[kenwood]

This is my first time assembling a t-bucket (or any other car for that matter). Here are pictures from cutting the doors, hinges, hanging doors and installing a bear claw latch. I would appreciate any feedback for improvements or suggestions. Thanks! -Ken

Way to go KEN!!! I'm glad that you FINALLY got the courage to start posting the fine work that you are doing. Keep it up because I know that there will be a lot of interest in your quality build.

P.S. I don't know much but I know quality when I see it.

That looks really solid and well thought out.

I've known Ken since about 1964 when he was about in 4th grade. He is a carpenter by trade but he believes in doing things right. Even though we are about twelve years apart in age we have always had each others back.

Your idea of using a rod thru the hinges to keep them aligned and spaced correctly was exactly what I came up with on my 23 track T this is a longtime project started by someone else 35 years ago. It didn't originally involve a door but after knee surgery I realized I wasn't going to be able to climb over as planned years ago. Seeing as door pins were an odd dia. I turned a bar in my lathe to fit worked like a charm.
