Finally…
Found the old doors to the shop in the basement. I had all the original hinges and hardware too, minus the lock plates for the door jamb, which have to be here somewhere.
Re-chiseled the filled mortises for the hinges. Had to fill the old screw holes with glued in dowels. Cleaned up the vintage hardware.
This was my bedroom/living room when I first moved in. One door never closed completely. Planed about 1/8” off the bottom 2/3s of the door and sealed it with shellac. Now I can close it!
It was a bit of an ordeal, but they are beautiful doors, and you just can’t beat old hardware. Now that I can close the doors, I can work on humidity.
