Got these 40 doors at auction last summer on a $30 steal and two days labor. Roar! Finally getting around to them.
Heavy suckers. I mean heavy. One man operation carrying them around is full attention.
Luka siad he thought there were probably particle laminate or some such with an oak venner. I’ve been removing the hardware for flat storage via the idea from another BTer a while back.
But dang, now that the hinges and locksets have been removed it looks like oak to me with an oak veneer.
Here’s some pics.

Looking for economical storage here as not a living quarters.
So now it's the beginning of the planning stage for a selfsupporting structure using these doors as panels in some way and capping it with a standard roof.
Doors are 36" wide and just short of 80" high with a thickness of 1 and 3/4 inches.
I was considering placing them on a perimeter PT beam 4x6 or such as a baseplate with the like of 2x2 nailers inside and outside of the doors on the plate to secure them in and something similar as a top plate.
No footerfoundation as it's all sand with no drainage problems.
Placement of the doors, I'm wondering about routing out 2x6s and sliding them in as freestanding panel or a 2x6 with 2x2 nailers. Probably could lap them around 1 1/2 inches and lag them to each other.
I'm fishing for ideas from you'all. Thanks

I'd go with the 2x6 with 2x2 nailers.
add top and bottom plates, and you've got a wall. The plates will tie the whole thing together. I'd try to put it up in sections, a 2x6, then a door, then a 2x6, etc. Building the wall then trying to stand it up would, IMO, be too much weight for 1 guy.
What ya gonna put in that shed? It sounds like it could be used as a bomb shelter, with those doors.
Well ok, maybe it'll turn into a cabin.
Or a cottage.

Tools are always good.
Or a vintage tele or strat.
You mean those doors are valuable enough to you for a 10 hr drive in a gas hog truck?

Better get used to being old. Roofing won't ever make you any younger!

wanna bet? I feel older but more alive daily..that can be confused with youngness. In my mind.
I guess I have 2 yrs left roofing, then I go back to the shop. Spheramid Enterprises Architectural Woodworks

So you need these doors for your house or using them as blanks for your woodworking?
'Nemo me impune lacesset'No one will provoke me with impunity
I want to have solid doors to replace the stamped masonite crap in the "new" part...the "old" part has only one opening needing a slab..I need 6 for the rest..I was wrong, 32" is fine. Spheramid Enterprises Architectural Woodworks
" Everything looks like a nail, to a hammer"
These are all 36inches and a tad under 80" high. So you'll need the latches and hinges too then? Check yer mail.
'Nemo me impune lacesset'No one will provoke me with impunity
YUP...if ya got the hardware, I'd really be a happy bonehead..I can cut the doors or widen the openings, after all we are in "constuctio Chaosity"...i just HATE a bathroom door a cat can barge into, cuz he weighs more than the door...

Ok, so we're talkin' about you trading in your Vox acoustic /ele dreadnought, 12 string, pewter nut. Italian circa 1955...mahog body , spruce top, ebony FB. Little bitty PU at the end of the FB in the sound hole,single coil type for 4 doors and hinges and doorknobs/latches mechanisms for placement in your own house as interior doors?
'Nemo me impune lacesset'No one will provoke me with impunity
Ok, but maybe 6 is mo betta, 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, laundry, and an incidental hallway..I can swing them and rehinge as needed, BUT if they have lock borings as I see, we need to ascertain the handing....I need 3 rights and 2 lefts as you face the hinge swing away from you.
Did ya want the whole Vox set up? I mean new strings and saddle? She needs a tender loving home, and a case. I have her in nude ( no tension on her) for storage purposes..oh, it is a bolt on neck too..4 honking screws and a nickle plate on the heel..diamond shaped MOP inlay markers.
This ain't getting me cutting firewood, but it is ok. Spheramid Enterprises Architectural Woodworks
" Everything looks like a nail, to a hammer"
I don't know about the Vox. She looks like a weak kitten.
How soon you need these doors. I got a call about a gig in NH and I'll be leaving for there before very long.
Those doors aren't going anywhere so maybe we can touch base on them later since all yer doing is replacing.
'Nemo me impune lacesset'No one will provoke me with impunity
ok. I just threw it out as an ideer...got plenty of swap stuff. No rush either. We be cool. Spheramid Enterprises Architectural Woodworks
