Thank you for that most kind compliment.
Nothing most here couldn't do themselves, just a cool subject matter (medieval) that most enjoy I believe.
What I enjoy are the details you are putting into the project. This is fun to follow.

Thank you Sir,
I knew that was going to be the hardest thing to build so I took my time with it.
Stay tuned...

"Details" is what it's all about.
No big updates, just finished the inside door trim and staining, but...!
Can't have a medieval door without a medieval door lock?
Scored this 17th century functional antique rim lock and key off eBay out of England, can't tell by the picture, but this old box rim lock is a huge, 10" long and 6" in height, just what the door needed to finish it off.

Projects to do...
My 17th century rim lock finally came in from England and I'm blown away!
Weighs 4.7 lbs and bigger than I imagined, check out the size of that key!
Gave it a little Kroil down inside the mvt and now it operates smoothly with a loud CLUNK in the bolt action.
My door pull is being delivered today too, so I'll wait and get my hardware to mount all at the same time tomorrow probably, unless it gets here early.
Tonight's "Cigar Tuesday's" so I won't be working late.
The door pull is antique too and 17" long resembling a Pike, wanted something with a simple, cool looking design in itself for simplicity.
The verdigris lions head (bought elsewhere) will be mounted on the door front for the key hole cover, it came in solid brass all shiny and new, but salt and vinegar cured that after a few days.
The key "just" fits through too, what a huge key! lol
