    Hinges on the door? Nothing, other than them being about 125 years old.

    I thought that was the gift. I guess the bottom of the pic hasn't loaded.

    Your gona love it, I think I'm gona take the stand off mine though. Gets in the way more than it's used. And had a few logs roll it over sideways. But the log roller part is awesome. Man that thing can really move some logs

    Looks like a nice can't hook. I'd like to know what you think of the jack part after you use it a bit. I found it easier to just roll the log up onto a block of wood. Or use a pry bar to pick it up onto the same block.

    Very nice.My house was built in 1916 & has similar hinges,plus the old iron mortice locksets.

    Ours was built in 1889, iirc. Working on getting it tighter to make climate control easier. Hoping to get the front door replaced in the spring, the old wood one with the skeleton lock doesn't do a great job keeping the cold out and really swells up in the summer.
