the doorknob 3

instructions on how to make the door

 

1. go by a long wall stud piece of wood that is 3 inches wide and really long and very straight not warped.

2. Then buy some green paint, wood glue, matte spray, gold spray paint, primer spray paint, one nail, door hinges anyones you like. I bought mine at home depot they were barn hinges. I added the little pieces on the edge of the hinge later. At home depot they'll just be the big triangle hinge. And borrow or rent or buy a nad drill and a drill bit that is a little bit smaller then your hinge screws. this will really help later.

3. cut the stud into four equally long pieces then use the wood glue. put the glue on the inside edges of each piece. glue on a flat surface. then get some clamps and clamp all four pieces together to glue. and wipe all excess glue on edges.

4. While glueing primer you hinges and hinge screws and then spray paint gold, then let sit and then matte spray them. After door has set for awhile sand or pull of excess glue off then cut the top to at a triangle angle like mine yours should be a square so you cut the top and at the top you have a triangle.

5. after door is cut, paint the door green probably need to do a few coats of paint. then let sit and matte spray it so as to help the paint stay on better and not nick or scrape off easily.

6. Now you are ready to assmeble the doors hinges. so line up the hinges where you want then on the edge. then get a pencil and mark a dot in the center of the hinge hole where the scre will go. do thid on the top and the sides if you got a fold around hinge. then use the drill if you have it and the drillbit and drill where you marked as to make it easier to put the screws into the wood.

7. place hinges on door and then screw the screws into place slowly using a hand screwdriver and when doing this tape of the tip of the screw driver or put a small cloth over the tip so when screwing if you slip the gold won't scracth off.

8. after screws are in place then center the doorknob on door and mark a dot where the doorknobs hook is on the back. then hammer the nail in place far enough so that the doorknob sits flush.

 

Now you are done and ready to display.
