Hey all:

I just installed the hardware and the door for the back of my shop...  The shop is an old pole barn converted to a shop... The back, or south side of the shop had, orginally, a sliding door... Apparently, it has been missing for years...  Framed up the hole, and built a door... Don't have much money, so made everything... The door, and the hardware out of what I had on hand... The door is made of 1 X 12 pine... Had to piece two short pieces together... I used hand made nails... Drove them thru and clinched them on the backside to hold the door together... I'm very pleased with the thumblatch... I tried to make one a few years ago with no success...  This one turned out great! A little longer than I would have wanted, but I wasn't following a recipe, I just had in my mind how I might make one... Please pardon me for the screws... Didn't want to make screws...Here are some pic's...2014-12-02-Thumblatch-and-hardware-001-480x640.jpgImage Enlarger

Cool Lynn. I like them. Latches and hinges are on my to do list. (Along with a lot of other things.)

Heck, I'd be happy to have those on the FRONT door!

No matter where you go... there you are.

Thanks Lee:

I wonder about my sanity...Confused why make this hardware for the door on an old pole building??? This hardware should be on a high end cabin in Sun Valley!??!!!  But, I love it... and it works great...  First thumblatch that I ever made...  LaughSmileLaugh

All the best,

Lynn

Hey Lynn,

I think you should come up my way and build me a shed?  I can feed you and give you a place to sleep!
