Baggage Door Progress Norm Krentel and Ray Schmid have one of the long door stiles on the mortiser. You can see the fancy molding work in cross section on the end, and some of the slots completed near the end.  Teaching Time Ray Schmid and Norm Krentel doing a once over on the completed stile before removing it from the set up on the mortiser.  Trimming Bob Kutella (thanks for snapping a pic, Kirk) trimming one of the stiles for the glass opening using our table mounted router.

In the background you can see some of the 24 major pieces in process, needed to assemble just two doors. |
