Re: Recycled door with stained glass panels

Hi @walkerkaiaua195,

 

A warm welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, we are so happy to have you join us.

 

I love a good upcycling project, and yours is particularly fantastic.

 

To go from a worn-out, boring old door to a fantastic stained glass barn door that would be such a wonderful feature in your home is just awesome to see.

 

Thank you for sharing such a brilliant project and congratulations on a job well done.

Good Afternoon @walkerkaiaua195 

Thats a nice looking door, wouldnt mind that myself :smile: Did you make the stained glass sections yourself?

Also was wondering if you have a guide to stop the bottom of the door pushing out?

Hi Dave...glass panels we had laying under the house with some bits cracked...I used resin and colored it with acrylic paint and applied to cracks..

Yes there is a bottom guard

Hi Jacob...thanks for your feedback..

I'm not sure if I'm in the right place  to enter the July project

Re: Recycled door with stained glass panels

Hi @walkerkaiaua195,

 

No need to worry, your project has already been added to the project hunt.

 

You can find it in here - Australia and New Zealand’s Best D.I.Y. Projects 2025.

 

Good luck!
