Comment on Ryland Install – Day 2 & 3 by Gary Olson

Dear Aaron,
Many favorable remarks were heard Sunday by the members. I trust you arrived safely in
Roanokoe and had a joyful reunion with Sarah. Tell your parents I say hello. I look forward to the dedication of the doors. We had a great movie night Friday. Also, there were fifty VCU fraternity men at church the same evening. I was able to speak to them collectively and pass out my business cards and the new church cards. See you soon.
Gary

Hi Aaron, Maxine Kiply, Mom and I have just looked at the door photos and they stunning and fabulous! Thank you for sharing the photos. Keep up the good work! Maxine wants to know if you have any exceptionally good wood glue? She also wants you to look at her hardware. Perhaps we can set a date!

Hi Gary.
Currently without the wood panels or glass, the doors weight about 140 lbs each. With the panels they will probably be close to 175 to 200 lbs. Also the doors are solid white oak glued with a marine grade two part epoxy. Thanks

Hello Aaron,
I am in McHenry right now and in the public library showing my dad your handiwork. He says your work looks pretty sharp and he can appreciate what you are doing. He is curious about the weight of the doors and what type of glue did you use?

Aaron– Looking great. The only thing that upsets me is that after you are finished you will be leaving us. I want to show this to my father when I see him next week. I think I told you that he was a carpenter.

You are so talented, and your work amazes me. But then again, maybe I’m a little biased. Maybe. However, the people at work also think your work is amazing, so maybe I’m not all that biased.

Love,
Your wife

I am excited to see your progress; your work is amazing. The forefathers of Bethlehem would be proud of your work and craftsmanship. Remember to give me a two or three week notice of completion so we can advertize the grand revealing.

Aaron I am speechless! This is REALLY impressive. I knew an extraordinary amount of work was going into these doors but to actually witness the step by step process is amazing. I’m so glad you chronicled this. We’re all anxiously awaiting their reveal.
