Looks nice, when you gonna fix the leg?

---

I removed the damaged metal leg and the good metal leg and build a stand with glued and screwed 3/4 poplar stained dark attached to a baltic birch base. I made the legs stick out from the front a couple inches to give it more area to prevent a front tipping incident although I think it would be unlikely. It also give me a little room to play I I decide to trim it out and make it finished. I glued pieces of the same cork floor to the bottom to make it easier to move. I can take a few additional pictures of the base.

Looks like door has pins only on one side, did you leave space for those pins?

---

The door has pins all around and when I attach my inside door trim to it, I will have to leave room for the pins to extend. I was playing around with some prototypes of the trim before and had forgot about it which would have sucked if I would have already glued them in.

Nice shop by the way.

Thanks. Everything is shoehorned into my small garage. I need an extra 10' wide of space.

Garages in Florida suck arse! You can have a 4k square foot house and it will have a freaking 2 car garage that takes a major effort to get an SUV and a car into.

If that door has locking pins on all 4 sides, I sure don't see them.

---

Yeah some of the pictures are hard to see because of the lighting. It has 3 fixed pins on the hinge side, 3 retractable on the opening side and 1 retractable top and bottom.

Really good craftsmanship.

Thanks. My next project which is already well underway uses some techniques I am still learning. I am building a really nice cypress picnic table for my families camp at Toledo Bend. It is a fairly challenging project but so far it is coming along nicely.

Nice work!
