Excellent Classical Style entry door assembly with your typical precise detailing and execution!!! RichI am getting to do a lot of miter joints! The roof pieces were fun on the door.
Anyway it’s starting to take shape!

It's a beautiful result, Dean.
Lol…maybe next time Heinrich… I have less than three weeks and a lot of detail to add! But I like the way you are thinking! You been hanging around Peter lately?The lighthouse is shaping up beautifully. Now what are the chances are turning that into an operational lighthouse? A slowly-rotating centre shaft connected to an electric motor with a reduction gearbox connected to the mirror concave at the top? Come on, Dean!
Hey, that’s good too!Nope. I've been hanging around myself lately! Finally!
I have forgotten what the construction system of the lighthouse is. Out on the NW Pacific coast most were concrete and those in less vulnerable locations I think were reinforce clay masonry with an overcoat of concrete. It looks like this grey is a primer for things to follow. You prior wood tones were nice to look at but I knew they were painted on the actual tower. Nice to watch your progress with those compound mitered angles. RIchOops…I forgot a piece of wood on the roof dormer of the window…
