Apologies for delay but problems with wi-fi (BT)
Anyway, for starters, here's one of the old doors selected for the job together with some 5" x 1" lumber for the sides. This was dated 23.11.13
Here's the next stage showing how the handles have been upcycled to aid lifting and hinges with the loops removed to form handy brackets (later photos will show some hinges used as corner protextors as soft wood is vulnerable at the ends). The underneath has been painted using old emulsion paint to show up the wiring etc. and an offcut length of 2"x1" has been used as a brace aacross the edges and to also aid lifting/handling.
