    On assembling the door face boards, I believe you would have been better served with using 4-each Pipe clamps to hold the board tight to each other before screwing them onto the door frame. They would as you know shrink with age. i do like how you put foam between the cross braces. Buuuut, the Faux exterior hinges look weird. If it were mine I would take them off since they are non-functional and make the outside of the door face look too busy, what with the Iron clovo's installed. And since this is a rural cabin with an elevated porch, why not have the door swing outward. It would make for a far more secure cabin against a Bear trying to "Push it in". Another trick to keep Bears away is to take scrape Plywood and but 2-1/2 screws randomly through the face and lay these points up under the windows and door while your away.

    Not a record, in the 1980s we use 4x6x8' to make a 6" thick door... upstate NY, in the finger lakes, used all thread to squeeze it together then we squared it with a plain, I guess, we wanted the door as thick as the walls as we could... Which was 8"ish round lumber, I never liked that the door swung inward. But grandpa was worried about getting snowed in. The other benefit to it swinging inside was the door was so heavy, he put a wheel on the end to hold up the weight. I will bet money people have made thicker, we wanted it so no one could chop thru it to break in when we were not there most of the year. I do admit your door is better looking, we used home made hardware to make these massive deadbolts

    @@TheOutsiderCabin for future builds, there are three naturally drying oils (linseed, tung, walnut), tung and walnut don’t spontaneously combust…. Ever…. If you still want to use linseed, than get the raw oil as it doesn’t have the Japanese (chemical) driers in it like what you buy in the cans, and is much less likely to combust spontaneously… Also, historically, certain other things have been mixed with drying oils to make them seal wood better, pine tar and turpentine (turpentine was used to thin the mixture and get it deep into the wood instead of just sitting on top)especially…. they even used to use them to protect the wood in the old fishing fleets. Mix the oil, pine tar, and pine turpentine, then slowly heat to a boil and use warm to seal the wood….

    The iron nails you used were actually just nails in the olden days, with a wide head to prevent them from sinking into the wood from the front, and they were longer than the thickness of the door so that they stuck through and were then bent back on the backside to prevent anyone from pulling them out. There are videos out here that show you how it is done if I didn't manage to explain it well. What you have there is just a prop to make the door look awesome, and you have surely accomplished that;) Great job guys! Appreciate the content!

    I could live in that year round, no problem. Remember when you trim the door to fit, that on the latch side to cut it at angle so the swing doesn't hit and drag on the jam. It will be even more pronounced with a door that thick.

    In Europe, during Medieval times, the claveaus were made to go through the doors and werbe bent over on the interiors of each door. A 7 or 8 inch claveau was required to go through the door. Each spike was hand forged by tan iron smith. Very expensive to have that many. The uuse was for protection by breaking through. Two very heavy duty pieces of wood were slid in on iron trestles, each having a trestle on either side, thereby giving even more protection fron break-ins. Keep up the great content. 😎😎

    The claveaus are also referred to as door nails. They were considered a sign of wealth due to their cost. The were bent over, or “deadened” on the inside so they could not be easily removed. Hence the term “deader than a door nail “

    Maple has almost zero rot resistance. Not a good choice for an exterior threshold - especially a board that has already begun to spalt (rot). White oak, black walnut, black locust or some other rot resistant wood should have been used. Even cedar would have been better than that maple. Maple is very durable, but is strictly an indoor wood.

    Hi Planet, you are right, however there are some mitigating factors! Because of roof overhang and the shelter of the surrounding trees, no rain even torrential ones with strong winds, don't get the sill wet. As well the sill can easily be replaced. The reason maple was chosen is be cause it is its resistance to wear. Cedar is a good choice for resistance to damp conditions but would wear quickly. Cheers Have a great day!
