Just been on the new website and it's awesome. Discovered your channel about 3 weeks ago now and I have watched every video, awesome content and a class level of workmanship. I am a joiner also, from Manchester in England and since watching your videos I've been more inspired than I have in a long time and you've pulled me out of the rut I was in and made me want to be a much better joiner than I've allowed myself to become in the last 2-3 years and for that I'm very grateful. Please keep making the videos man, your so good at what you do. Take care. Carl
Thanks for sharing this. I have a closet with awful bi-fold doors that are constantly falling off the tracks. This is a great idea. Ever since I have started watching your videos, I've felt inspired to do some sort of project, but most seem to be way beyond my current budget and skill-level. This one is the perfect start. Thanks again for doing what you do and inspiring the rest of us to do something too.
The house is coming along nicely, love your work!
Really great content - appreciate the attention to aesthetics and how clearly you explained each step.
Loved the idea. I was planning on changing my closet doors this made it so much easier for me. Thanks man!
wow, every video a burner (and I'm looking many crafting stuff on yt)! like your creativity, your style, and your glance for the detail. Keep it up, Samurai:)
Nice! Thank you solved my closet door issue. I just removed the folding mirror doors and excited to install these.
Great video... Good idea to install from inside the closet. And I like the tips on both the liquid shim and two-part super glue.
Awesome Video. some of his tips really made the job go as easy as planned!
Looks great man, good job!
i am in the process of installing bi fold doors and was so excited about this idea. thanks! i know you get this all the time....you are a tall one.
A super video. Love thé clarity and precision.
Love those new floors and the doors of coarse...
Enjoy your channel, Samurai. Keep on keepin' on my brother.
great content, always a fun video to view
The handyman service I hired said they couldn't do this. Said they'd have to break out a wall to widen the opening. Told me it wouldn't work. This demo is exactly what I need and this guy did it perfectly. Maybe I need to hire The Samurai Carpenter instead.
love your stuff. keep being a stud
Smashed the like. Thanks for the vid!
Nicely done. Definitely a good carpenter
Thanks for sharing...great video!
I've never heard of a bypass door. Not even sure why I watched this video...but I watched it from beginning to end, lol. Nicely done.
very good tutorial!! Thanks.
Great video samurai
I build my own panel doors for about $30 each - makes it way cheap. Nice project - looks great.
Awesome vid! Thank you!
Love it thank you so much!
Subbed and Liked! Fully deserved. Now off to the Secret Weapon vid.
Very helpful video. I'm installing the same doors and instructions are a little vague. Thanks for the tip on cutting the door guide. I am going to use a little RTV silicone to secure to cement floor. I was not sure how to cover the track with moulding, but now I have an idea.Thanks!
Looks great. I like the style of your doors too. I saw your interns slacking on the couch. Ha! Seriously, nice job. Douglas
great tips!
mind blown, thanks for the great tips!
+kmonnier If you think that is mind blowing, watch my other videos. This was one of my most boring videos yet in my opinion.
Great looking doors
Nice job!
Great video!
Nice job mate! :)
I, too, have Paw Patrol on in the background during all my DIY projects😊. Great project!
Great video bro’
Your love for woodworking aint no secret
Excellent!
Awesome! Just caught this video from a blog where someone else embeded. Great vid man! Will be doing this at my place for sure. Also going to be installing a door from Art Of Division soon too. DIY sliding doors that you customize and they send to you ready to install pretty quickly. Check it out sometime.
awesome videos
Awesome video
that scoring method is amazing. I wondered why you were doing that.
I'm doing this to my laundry closet this weekend; except with bypass barn doors!!! And holy crap, you are tall haha
That is a clean look.
Good job
For the track on the bottom: You could create a slight bevel in the floor instead of using a track at all. Slightly round the bottom of the door and voila, you have borrowed from the Japanese Sliding Shoji.
Great video and very professional install, where did you get doors and hardware .
Can you tell me the brand and model number of the tracks that you installed.
I love the way you explain how to install them, good job.
nice job
Good work! Funny dude too!
I like you style of thinking 😅👌✅🤓
Hi Great job on the door.
Going to build one too.
Mind sharing the make and model of the sliding hardware?
Thanks.
Ray
You've got some serious Kramer hair going on there at the end. You rock.
+Maxid1 I'm so busy I haven't even looked in the mirror in over a week!LOL.
Great job man! Please leave links to the purchase info on the doors, etc.
good work, and glue
That was ,SSOOO COOL 👍❣️ Thank you so much. Me being a girl DIYer like dem tips and tricks trés bien indeed 🏆🏅🥇Love it❣️❣️❣️
well done
Dude! Sweet!
Im going to do this for my future house.
Hey man love your videos. Have you considered getting a bluetooth mic? So many of your videos the audio is hard to hear.
Love your videos :D but you should consider putting a noise gate on your audio, just to cut out the static background noise
the freehand cutting the door to size with the circular saw is impressive...
Where did you get the track and doors I would like to do the same as you at my place and I'm also from Canada so ya
If it looks good it is good!
Hi
I use an automatic translator to write down this, I have one suggest making to the sliding doors.
So if you the plastic guidance shift so them concentric under the door sits
and in the door below a long groove mills
then the door would be also led, however, one does not see the plastic guidance.
I get on because with our flats in thus, however, is not solved with plastic corners separate metal.
metal corner also hold longer.
many greets from Gemany
You made this look so easy. Thanks. I’m nervous to try. The explanation about the tracks from the inside and the the 3 inch wood insert is a little confusing.
Where did you get the doors? Are they solid wood or Masonite? Great video too!
That was nicely done, bro, but please get a lapel mike or something. I love the stuff you do, man.
An inch and a quarter up to the rail or track valley of the aluminum?
I have a 59 1/4" finish opening and can I use (2) 30" doors for that opening or do I have to get custom sized doors.
Liquid shim to reduce wood farting!!! Brilliant!!!
LOVIN' the glue trick...I've just used wood glue, but this is much better!!! WIN!
you can also put the roller in track before you hang it
Sir I bought a bi-Fold door at Lowes , it's kinda of heavy it has 3 panels of glass on each door side when I tried to put it on it didn't fit , the door opening is 35 and 1/4 the Bi- Fold door is 36, should I cut about 1 inch off the width of one door ? or will I hit the glass inside ?? and what about its weight, the crews started coming out from the track brackets on my first try, can you help me ??
Hey boss why you use w40 for the miters???
hello mate is western red cedar a good wood for external bi folding doors?
Keep up the good work dude. Maybe mention when you are using a particular tool each video that it is available on your web site? (with a link in the description)Just to squeeze in an extra plug. 👍
+GHILL I am starting to do that in future videos. I'm just pacing myself so I don't come off as a pushy sales guy.
+The Samurai Carpenter yeah I'm hearing ya dude. I know you got it sorted. Very excited for you, looking forward to seeing where the channel goes. I'll be sure to show my support and get something shipped over here to Australia. Cheers.
Great video, new subscriber. I love the doors, where can I purchase the same exact doors?
+Lisa Marie Thanks. Home Depot
Do you ever make/customize knee wall doors? Mine are complete garbage and I need to make some that can be insulated.
My cure for the bottom of the door is to make a wooden guide block instead of the ever so lovely plastic one. I have at times made a wooden track for the bottom and all the way across.
What size doors did you start out with?
Dado, that's what I did too. works great
What kind of hardware is that? Looking for a quality bypass door hardware set that will hold solid core slab doors, but the rails at big box stores seem cheaper.
How about making a video for the reverse? We have bypass doors on our bedroom closets and my wife would prefer bifold for easier access.
Little bit cocky dude, but the content is there. I'll sub
I wish he could tell us the brand and model of the tracks and where he got them. Thanks a bunch!
same! where did you get the hardware from?
Nice work but how come you didn't cut a groove in the bottom of the door the the guide to run in so you don't see that vertical tab out the front?
+Warren Spillane Laziness.
Anyone got a link to the list of hardware that would be needed for this per chance?
Ah Paw Patrol in the background, it's like crack for Toddlers... Can you tell mine are addicted to that show too?
+Andy Collier Mine just discovered PP and it is a welcome switch from Curious George. My middle boy is starting to speak English now instead of making monkey noises all day. Ah the dad life....dangerous exhaustion mixed with pure joy. Gotta love it!
+The Samurai Carpenter If you are on Netflix show them Sarah and Duck, it's a British series my kids like and it's not too annoying!
Secret weapon is 2p10 CA gel and activator.
my master bedroom closet has bifold doors..... but it has 2 pairs because it is a very wide space (95 inches wide). I do want to make it bypass doors instead, but what would you suggest for that wide of a space? 2 tracks with 2 bypass doors on each half? a long track with 2 wide doors?
what bypass hardware did you use?
Very nice door! That flooring looks familiar. If it was purchased from a box store, what brand is it? Thanks!
+Jake B It's just cheap laminate flooring. It's called Shire Oak by Goodfellow.
Gotcha, looks really decent for laminate!
What hardware do I need? And where to I get it? Can't find that info anywhere and would really appreciate it.
love the fact that your kids are watching Paw Patrol, 6000 miles from where my two are doing exactly the same :)
You had me at PL. I almost can't keep myself from using that. It's like a calling card. Maybe just hide a little blob inside a wall somewhere if it's the only way to use some on a given job. And I'm not exaggerating at all I would never in a million years ever exaggerate anything. Ever.
do the doors get handles or pockets in the door
2 things. 1. Didn't realize how crazy tall you were until this video and 2. I had to laugh hearing paw patrol going on in the background... and then cry when I realized I knew it was paw patrol just from the voices and names of it
Liquid shim?! ...never heard of such a thing! My life just got easier ...
