    I really like that!! Great work!

    It looks like you turned the wheels for it. I really like that idea. I'd love to see more details on how you made the wheels and tracks. The track appears fairly straightforward but that can be deceiving as well.

    I'd like to build not just the door but the wheels and track for one we are planning in our house. Granted it won't be as large as yours (that thing looks huge) and it may be 6 months before I build mine as I'm slow and my projects are many.

    That's a great looking door. Very nicely done! Definitely not a cookie cutter big box store door. Thanks for sharing.

    Thank you . Honestly I don’t participate in the Forums that often anymore and I’m generally hanging out on Instagram. Much of what I document will be in the fee they’re here is a link.

    Tiny little thing... LOL And beautiful work!

    I've become a real fan of barn-style sliding doors and pocket doors in recent times. That one is really worthy!

    it is maple dyed black . 4/4 glued up . 1x 10 back board ,the rail is a 4/4 bull nose moldings with a 4/4 spacer and the wheel conforms to the bull nose and rides on that . RGK screws are face screwed to the studs .
