What is "18th C grade 1" house? Never heard of this terminology before. Maybe because I'm in Canada.

We're making oak doors for my 18th C grade 1 house this week, and next week and probably for about three months. They have to be hand made from air dried oak, no kiln crap is going on my frames, it wouldn't pass the tests anyway. Takes the best part of a week to make one door and one frame, it's an expensive business, over a grand each we reckon. That's why I admire what you do because I'm using a plane, mallet and chisel and making these 18 C joints so that the replacement doors are identical. It's a lot more work than a cue and the joints are far harder technically than splicing some hardwood with pva onto an ash blank with clamps. But what I like about you, Jawes and TW etc is that you are doing this work yourselves, with planes. Your cue didn't fly in from Bangkok and neither did my doors. Made in Britain, the traditional way by people who care. ;-)
