Custom door grunt for a day (or two)

[nonhog]

Helped my buddy who builds custom doors for a living.
I am not a woodworker. But had fun using industrial tools. Made some pretty cool doors. 8 total.

The router is (IIRC) 6 hp.
This is the drill for the dowels.

The last picture is before the belt sander.

I love manufacturing facilities. Small or large it’s always a learning experience. Thanks for sharing.

For sure.
I had the chance to tour the Ft Worth plant where they make the F-16.

Amazing
A mile long building where they bring in a slab of AL at one end and a flyable, supersonic, plane at the other end.

It's actually longer than that...I don't remember the exact dimensions, but from the original south end wall to the north doors is about 1.15 miles. Add in the warehouse expansion on the south end, it's now over 1.25 miles long.

There were days that I walked the length of it 3 times My office was off the north end of the building and I was often down in the far south end as part of my engineering support duties.
