Yurt Stuff

Since the hutch I made was still a little damp from the linseed oil from last night, I had to put off the installation of the lock and hinges. Instead I decided to build a better door for my yurt.  First off, I never really intended to use the yurt. I built it as a paupers challenge. I was determined to see if I could build a functioning yurt for under $50. I succeeded, but there are a few things I need to upgrade on it, if I am going to use it at May Crown.  The first order of business is building a better door.  I need it to break down and fit into the yurt bag. I would also like it to be lockable.

Starting with 2×3′s I ripped off the edges to get nice flat sections.  Dog legged the joint.

Recess section on the outer side To wedge the wall in a bit.

Piano hinge is going in on two of the four corners. The other two corners will have removable pin hinges.
