OK gang, looks like I'll be making a set of doors this weekend, I'm debating between three 'normal' hinges or three strap hinges for the two main shop doors. It is a barn, so the strap hinges will fit in looks wise, but I'm still thinking about the regular ones as an alternative. The main doors are going to be just over 8' tall once everything is said and done, so I'll definitely be going with three sets per door to carry the weight. It'll be good and stout, with 2x4 and 2x6's as the frame, 3/4 ply for the field and I'll dress it up later once I get to the exterior of the shop (ie, later this summer).
