O^1 Cut the palings

Using a drop saw or circular saw,

measure and cut the lengths of the pine

palings for the door panel. Using a

length of decking pine as a straightedge,

use a router with a 6.4mm straight bit

to create the lap joints on the palings.

To create the wall shingles, measure

and cut the palings to size. Clamp

irmly, then, using a circular saw set

at 15°, cut the palings to create the angle

for the shingle overlap.

O^2 Attach the door frame

Cut the decking pine for the door frames

and lay out on a lat surface, exterior

side facing down. Check for square and

clamp to hold in position. Mark the

centre of the frame top and bottom.

Starting from the centre, lay the palings

down, lap joints overlapping. Use a bit,

taped to stop the bit going right through,

to predrill holes, then countersink.

Apply adhesive, screw and clamp the

palings together. ▶
