Are you looking for cafe door type hinges that swing both ways?    Looks good.

actually i had a pair of those but the bracket was like a 1/2 wider than the wood, me and K just got from home depot and i found a pair of cafe hinges that is narrower, so i think they will work

this will aloow it to swing both ways

and hold open if you want it to

i think its cool you knew what cafe hinges were

i'm getting there ...

things left to do

1) find magnetic latch to catch the door when it shuts
2) add the pressure fittings to the sides
3) stain
4) top coat

 

[joe]

almost done, got the catch on today and the pressure thingies done, got it stained too, hopefully tommorow will be as pretty as today and i can top coat it

then i just got to figure out how to box this thing up to ship

You and boxes seem to have a difficult time lately.

i'll finger them out one of these days

spraying the top coat on the gate today, one side is drying now

 

[joe]

no, not a typo, just a saying amongst some of us ********

if you think about it, alot of times you are trying to "figure" something out you'll notice your hands are almost always involved (fingered) , somehow, i know it may not make sense :lol:

 

[joe]

topcoat is done, i'll put it back together tomorrow and post a pic of it

Wow! That looks GREAT!

 

How much will one of those sell for?

[/QUOTE]

i would say its "worth" around the 200 mark but since i dont value my time as much as i should i will sell one like this around 90.00 - 150.00 + shipping (depending on wood, finish, size)

How tall x wide is that again?[/B]

its 30" tall X 40" wide, adjustible to about 43" wide

its all boxed up, i'll be shipping it out tommorow

 

[joe]

shipped it out today, hopefully UPS will get it there in one piece
