Olivier, in our winter farm carpentry workshops, informed us that we would be building new barn doors for the lower barn. I never would have thought that I possessed the skills to do something quite that cool, but it turns out that I do. We built a frame, added the fancy diagonal panelling and used a jigsaw to cut out space for windows. Olivier taught us how to use a router for the shelf for the windows to sit on and we used chisels to even out the corners. All would have gone well if we'd actually been good at math. Instead of counting correctly, we spent and extra two hours frustrated because the opening was too small for our panes of glass. In the end, we finished both doors and had time to hang the first one up. So pretty!
Only one door! So sad!
Sophia with the jigsaw:
Success!
