Door Reuse

This hole where the doorknob was, made a handy portal for computer cables.
This partition held in place by two lengths of threaded rods seated in holes in a piece of wood held against the ceiling with nuts on either end.
Door Reuse by Earthworm.
Five doors went in to this bookshelf, desk, storage, folding bed project. The end door is held in place by friction. Two bolts press into a piece of wood in the ceiling. I used ideas from the book Nomadic Furniture. The three shelves were cut lengthwise from one door and mounted to the wall on strips of lumber cut to fit inside the open side of the cut up door pieces. That was an idea I saw in Handyman Magazine. The top shelf was open on both sides so I cut a piece of molding to cover it. Then patched all the door hinge cut-outs and lock holes.

I still have my copy of "Nomadic Furniture" that I bought around 1976.
