Life Intervenes - A little woodworking

I occasionally dabble in the workshop. Last year (2019) was a particularly bad year for hail out here. Unfortunately our time was gobbled up trying to deal with my father-in-law's estate of which my wife was a co-executor of the will, which really meant that she did all the work while her brother sat back and just griped about how long it was taking. Needless a lot of stuff was left undone because of the time that soaked up.

So the project is to replace the two "hay" doors on our detached garage. As you can guess our garage has a barn style roof and the two existing "hay" doors were replaced about five years ago by someone, not me, that didn't know what they were doing. While the plywood back was fine, it appears that he used framing made from some type of MDF which was definitely not a good idea for a couple of exterior doors. The 2019 hail was the final straw for these doors and they have to be replaced.

The plywood was easy to find but there is not a even remotely straight piece of 1x4 to be found in a 20 mile radius of our house. I ended up buying 1x6s (only slightly warped) that I ripped down to 1x3s on the table saw (an ancient craftsman table saw that has to be at least 30 years old at this point).

MDF, outdoors and hail, a recipe for failure. This is the west door, the east door is actually in worse shape.

Framing boards ripped down on the left side, plywood cut and ready for framing in the middle.
