A visitor looks for the entry door when searching for a building, sees it up close on approach, and touches it when entering and exiting the building. In the life of a door this happens hundreds, maybe thousands of times. A door's age is a badge of honor. In its simplest form, a door is a movable barrier between two spaces. Whether a relatively simple layup of carefully selected wood, or an elegant hand carved work of art, the door extends an invitation to share space. At its best, a door has a presence and an elegance that comes from handcraft, carefully selected wood, and an intended sense of importance. Compensation is based on skillset, prior experience with door specific woodworking, and a portfolio of prior work. Duties Measure, cut, assemble, and install restored and custom doors, and door fixtures using hand tools and power tools with precision and care.
