Jacques Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 A frame I made for a window in a door (is there a fancy word for that?) There was damage to the original wooden parts and the glass was broken and I had to repair the door. The flat bar was embossed on the fly press with a little tool I made and the holes for the bolts were punched. The inner frame was fabricated to fit the recess. Total time for the frame was 8 hours, excluding painting. It was a rush job this morning, I had to remove the door, repair it, repaint, and fit the frame. After the pictures were taken I also fitted the glass. And it had to be finished before dark. The bolts is just temporary, I will make something more blacksmithy to replace them. Comments and critique welcome, I have to make 4 more later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Nice work, If you can do all of that in eight hours it would be nice to see something you have taken your time on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yves Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Very happy that you have shown this fine woork. I have been wondering about framing double french doors. I do not wonder anymore. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironman50 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Very clever idea on hiding and repairing the wooden parts, made the whole window looks more beautiful with character. Great job! ____________________ www.sawblade.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciladog Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 A frame I made for a window in a door (is there a fancy word for that?) Yes there is "Door lites". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironduck Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Fancy word - well as ciadog already stated: "Door lites", but possibly Door fenestration is more what you were looking for. And regarding the iron work - very nice indeed, and all in eight hours - I trip over too much stuff in my shop to be able to work that quickly.
