This a Fairy Door I made for my granddaughter. It is installed on the baseboard of a wall in our basement. There is a box behind the door that fits into the space behind the drywall. The idea is that There will be surprises waiting for her when she comes to visit.The door is made from cherry, the frame is tiger maple and the door knob, sill and roof are curly walnut.I also found an old Chinese coin on eBay and pressure fit it into a hole in the door to act as a window.The tricky part was to align the hinges since the door/fame has a curved edge. The axis of each hinge had to line up.There is a small magnet in the frame and a metal plate on the back of the door to keep it latched.Plans:
Reinforcing frame joints:
Shaping door knob:
