Thank you, please do as I find it a great idea. Incorporating it may be a challenge if the weight written on the door is anything to go by.Quote:

A definite statement piece! What a fantastic piece of history to have in your new house.
I hope you haven’t got teenage kids?
My three can rattle the tiles off the roof with the force they close our ‘ordinary’ wooden doors. Christ knows what damage they could do slamming that monster with their usual aplomb…
That is very cool! (And I assume will require a substantial doorframe to cope with it!)
Happy to share. i have one or two other heavy weight bits of furniture.Quote:

Nice that you can lock it to so as to prevent any unwanted intrusions ........................
That is very cool! I used to have a HMS Hermes zippo back when I had a collection. Wish I still had it seeing that, would have sent it to you.
Please update with pics when it's fitted.
The lighter would have been very cool, the fitting will be a while off, first i have to design and fag packet specify the frame i think it will need to fit in an opening i haven't made yet, devise a support system and suitable foundations for the timber floor it casts a shadow across,then will come stripping, blasting priming and two pack, brass work to polish and or remake as required. Next will be lifting moving and fixing.Quote:

If you're going to polish the brass locking handles either outsource it or purchase a polishing wheel and learn how to use it and the polishing compounds. I have previously posted about some of the portholes, ships lights, oil lamps and a bell that I've restored and can be seen in THIS thread. Metal polishing is as boring as hell in my humble opinion but you can get great results. Lacquer any brass you polish.
Will bookmark that thread thanks
You have a problem, but it's a very very good sort of problem.Quote:

Don't trap your fingers with it! Cool as f*** though, many congratulations :thumbsup:
A mate of mine had a couple of genuine Winson Green HMP cell doors for sale recently. They had been replaced during a refurb.
Thats brilliant, can almost smell the diesel!
It looks great but how are you planning on hanging it? What are thinking about for hinges?

Well that's certainly unusual - but in a good way. Look forward to seeing pics when it is installed.
Ever thought about a Spitfire on the roof?
The fella in Moffat, off the M74 has done it right............
