Me and @lewis1930ma made this door, a timber frame clad with corten steel on a pivot hinge. Approx 3m tall by 1.2m wide, very heavy but very smooth.

I done the mirror and the actual room too. The mirror had a section needing patched, it’s patched with some of the Lochgoilhead oak I’ve been using, which is nice I suppose.
