I am amazed and flattered that somebody noticed my roundhouse.  The RH
itself was scratch built although the brick side walls were salvaged from a
discarded kit so I guess that makes it kit bashed.  As best I can recall it
is over 40 years old.  You asked about hinges on the doors.  Best I can
remember they were scratch built.  I used a strip of brass about 1/8" wide
and about half the width of the door for decoration.  I rolled one end to
hold a straight pin.  A shorter piece was mounted on the door frame just
below the door hinge so the door hinges rode on this piece which was also
rolled to receive the pin.  There is one of each top and bottom.  Very
primitive from close up but they look fine from a distance.  Since the
greenhouse doors are out of reach from the aisle the doors all stay open and
are pinned to keep them from fouling engines as they are driven in and out.
I just wish it was bigger.  It has three full length stalls and one short
stall.  There is crawl space under the center of each track and I think
there are some pigeons in the rafters..    Wally Collins

Question for Wally Collins (who has a beautiful looking round house) or
anyone else with a good idea for hinges on round house doors.

Thanks,
Carmen
