- In this video we take a look at how to cut down doors while they are still hanging. This is a great technique for production carpenters who install raw trim before flooring goes in.

60 years old and still working and I learn something new,keep up the good work.
From a locksmith perspective. I just learned something new that is a time saver. Thanks
That's what I love about this business. 35 yrs in and still learning better ways. I still go to work everyday looking forward to accomplishing and conquering problems (challenges). I cant imagine sitting at a desk.
No desk jockeys here!
No way could I imagine sitting behind a desk for 30yrs plus here!
Well said guys 👍
I sit at a desk and I'm learning everyday; in I.T. the pace of change is rapid af
Sometimes the only difference between a noob idea and a masters trick is confidence.
You have it made! No flooring installed, and unfinished trim.
All the trim we install in Wisconsin is already finished, and flooring installed.
I might as well put Lewis Carpentry on the side of my trailer because I have adapted so much of the way I do things from your videos.
I am on my way back to watch one of your craftsman style casing videos right now.
This will also be my first week with my miter saw wings I built just like yours!
Right on!
You, Mike Haduck, Kirk Giordano and Finish Carpentry TV are awesomeness.
Yes to all those guys. Add Perkins Brothers and Essential Craftsman and that's pretty much my whole CZcams.
Hey Spencer hello from the UK, really enjoy your videos and learnt some great tips already. I had the pleasure of working in Seattle for a couple of months on a renovation last year and was blown away by the quality of your timber. I realise it's all on your doorstep but trust me you guys would not believe the state of our lumber. We get a stack of 3x2 studwork timber arrive at our depots and at least 30% of each pallet is completely useless. Loved being able to work with good quality wood if only for a short time. Met some great tradesman too, too bad i can't afford to relocate!
Wow I have been in construction for 30 years and I have never thought of that. Thanks
You cando taht when house is empty
You are the Tony Stark of the trim carpentry world. You’re one of the only ones I watch mainly on here Keep up the good work
Just love your approach, been building for 40 years and your never too old to pick up new tricks. Cheers!!
I don’t know why some viewers would choose to make negative comments. If I can learn just one helpful tip by watching a 6 minute video I consider that time well spent. I enjoy your enthusiasm and attention to detail knowing full well your responsibility to your clients, the clock and your wallet. Don’t let the bastards get you down.
No hate here, just appreciation for all the work you put into these videos.
Thanks Spencer!
Adjustable twist and lock screws on hinges with adjustable frames when fitted into openings hidden by architrave is the answer .A real time saver
The crew that I learned with was doing that in the 1970's. We had to watch for out of level floors. Around bathrooms we frequently had problems.
Ahhh the days of dropped flooring for rooms with tile for the finished floor and also the days of notching the rim joists where exterior concrete steps where to be poured... Ahh the days of yore... Lol. Guess I've been doing this work too long... Naaa happiness to me will be doing it till the day I die!! A good productive day of work is good for the soul!!! 🍻
I been doing carpentry for a long time and never crossed my mind to cut the door in place, yet with a simple skills saw. I see lots of people on you tube that don't take criticism on the video, but you are one of the few that have an open mind. Im glad you made this video, cause i just learned something .
By the way, you are one of the few people i watch.
.. agreed.
.. I wish I saw this video months back. I didn't think to use a guide for a straight cut.
@@hanaparkhill3565 if you have lots of door to cut, it makes a difference. I just did one door a couple months ago and i cut it in place with my tracksaw
Done that many times with an 80s vintage Makita 6 1/2 circular saw...about 1 3/8 offset on base.
Rigged my track with some plywood standoffs on the back, which sit on the floor, after watching the other video. I was too cheap to buy the clamps. The beauty of the track saw for this application is the use on finished doors.
Great video as always!
Don’t let the miserable trolls get to you, you are really smart and are very detailed when explaining things, I’ve learned a lot from your videos thank you
Did this for years. Only time it wasn't recommended was with the cheap hollow core with thin stock on bottom. Better to take door off, cut, dig scrap stock out and replace with 2x cut to fit, shimmy in and glue in place.
Yes. Seems like the stick in the bottom gets thinner and thinner. I've cut and fit more bottom sticks than I can count, just like you said.
Wow, I'm a girl and was just going to call someone to cut my Doors, I'm going to try this. I hope I do it right. Thank you
Genius idea... testimony to the fact that you learn something new everyday 💪💪
Now I too learned something new so thank you for that.
Richard is an amazing craftsman, we all learn much from him. He like you has an open mind to trying new things and putting them to the test.
I love your recent tip. I just have to remember to check for level floors before using this tip. I will keep it in the back of my mind for when the opportunity to use it arises.
That’s a great tip. I don’t often install doors before flooring but I have the same saw and especially for doors I can afford to replace if I mess up it’s worth adding to my bag of methods.
That trick is very slick. Gotta hand it to those guys in the field who are always looking for ways to make things easier.
ive been doing that trick for almost 30 years especially for by-pass doors, so for you its never to late to learn new little tricks. keep on doing an awesome job
How is it always "30 years"?
@@AlexRides808 that's a good question as I guess there are a lot of old school carpenters out there like me still doing the trade
Hi Lewis, great idea I agree. Only issue I see is if floor out of level when door is closed it will not be parallel when door is latched, for that reason I will be sticking to the festool way. Scribe while door is latched then trim door. After all I bought the TS55 k on your recommendation . Love your videos great content very well presented , thank you and keep up the good work, Duncan from Bedford, England
wow! after 38 years in business, I still learn..........thanks
Dear Sir
I would like to give you a big thumbs up I am a 65 year old carpenter,mostly finish who has been in the trade all my life
and I have learned several tricks from you. You are never too old to learn and never to young too teach.
THANK YOU
And to all those haters out there BITE ME if you can catch me. LOL
you know now how much gap from the floor my dear now 35 mm gap this is wrongway
That is a great method since most saws do have a 1-1/2 in setback. Excellent. Why are people even on here if they just have rude comments. I just never understood the mindset of haters. Keep doing your thing. You have excellent skills. I've learned great tricks and tips from you. And I'm a 35yr carpenter. Thats a long time the trades. Ahahahahaha. Much Respect
Sometimes the simplest of ideas can be the most profound. And of course, why did I ever think of that?! LOL
Bro you got skills haters are always gonna hate greatness
This was a great time saver when we built houses 30 plus years ago. I'm not going to lie, I did mess this up a couple times though. Not as easy as it looks to cut a door like that.
You hit all the key points on objections. Nicely done and cool trick. Thanks! 👍🏻
Wow. Happy days. You fixed my problem, thanks sir.
Thanks for your contribution to workers everywhere 👍
It's tough being the best! keep up the great content, always enjoy all your helpful content.
Wow! Awesome Pro tip to put in the tool bag. Thanks for sharing!
By far my favorite carpenter on the tube
Well I’ve learnt something new today. Thank you.
Awesome video!!! Love the brain power in this community, thanks this was a great find!!!
Great tip, actually got to do this, at my daughter's house, as she's going from tiles to carpets.
I love that you always are open to new things :) More tradespeople should be as well
Nice! Stand your drops up when you’re finished cutting. That way you don’t have to bend over again later when you go to round them up!
It's the little things that make a difference right.. 👍
Simple yet genius 💪
Love your tutorials.
As a floor layer i take them off anyway. Its just makes installation of flooring easier
Thanks for all your input
Thought of this many moons ago but never tried it. Well done 👍
Thank you for all your advice.
Efficiency on a new level! No Pun intended! Doesn’t hurt to have a good saw either! 😉👍😁
I've been doing this for years. Sometimes I miss a few and need to cut them after carpet is installed. So I used my diy 9" jambsaw and cut them wo removing.
Just referred your videos to my helper who wants to go out on his own. I said check this guy out. He's my age and I learn something new front each video
Thanks for sharing Spencer, might have to try this just hung an cased 7 6 panels ina rental rehab I've been working on.
That's a cool idea I actually have a crane jam saw or undercut saw that I used to trim doors when I'm not using it to cut door jambs and casings for flooring.it will cut anything from an eighth of an inch up to one inch from the floor.
Sweet and simple. Two enthusiastic thumbs up!
Good job,great advice and thank you for all the helpful advice.
Great video. All talkers/bad commenters are the "best Carpenters", except you're showing your skills instead of talking about them like the losers leaving the bad comments. Great channel. Keep up the good work.
wooo great trick, time saver and cost effective its always good wen we learn something new that works
Great idea, thank you. Big time saver for sure. Great videos learned a lot.
Indeed, I had never thought this possible. Thanks.
It’s always worked for me love it if I get tear out I’ll just stick some painters tape on the back side usually stops it from chipping... keep up the great videos
You can Pre score the cut line with a Stanley knife first to help with the chipping usually on those cheap composite doors have happy safe holidays
Oh I definitely needed this video
Never to old to learn. great tip
what a great time saver tip!!!!Thanks for sharing
This is a great tip for cutting doors In-Place save so much time.
Fantastic idea 💡 will be using in the future
If anyone is worried about tear out, take some wide blue masking tape and run a strip on the bottom of the door first. Use the wide so you don't even need to measure where the tape goes just line it up with the bottom and it should cover where you are cutting.
I have learned a lot from your Chanel thanks for sharing all this tricks
Amazing. Thats will save me a lot of time. Thanks big time
Cool trick.. you made my day... I'll pass this along.. gracias amigo
Best time saver ever! Thanks!
Nice work man. Thank you.
That's cool. I can see that working. Thankyou
Great time saver. Thanks bud 👍
Great trick thanks for sharing love this channel. Happy Thanksgiving
thank you to share this tip! love it !
Always good to learn new tricks
Thank you that was awesome the only thing I would caution from old school if you cut a Luan door where you have to scribe first to prevent splintering I don’t think I could get away clean. With that said great technique 👍
What a great idea. Thanks for sharing that.
Awesome. Learn something something new everyday . Great vid.
Keep it simple. Great video.
Great job Thank you for that tip. Beats pulling the pulling the door off the jamb.
Thank you to share you experience with me, now I know two more ways how to cut the door, 👍 keep it up
The houses I’ve worked on wouldn’t have been level enough to do this 😄 maybe with the door closed and finish the edges afterward. Thanks for the vid.
Super helpful, great hack here!
Good info as always...
Great trick🙌👌
You are epic mate. Thanks for this. I was going to buy a door boss saw but I won't bother now.
Wow!! Very very good!!!!
Wow You guys are the best
Here here! Will add this one to the quiver! Thank you.
Hey if it gives you the right amount of cutoff then it's a great tip..I was gonna say installing baseboards before the flooring is a bad idea, but then you said it was carpet so no problem!
Cool idea!
Thanks for sharing the wisdom
Love it. Again thanks so much.
Great advice. Thanks
Thumbs up bro i learn something new that i can use in my work
What a sweet trick thanks
Thank you I appreciate that. Might help me out I would definitely keep that in mind learn something today
Easy best and clean thank you
