The first stain looked much better, like way better.
the door is not in your house and if his wife likes the second stain just keep quiet and deal with it. when you make it in your house stain it however you want to.
@@husainramakdawala5588 first stain looks better don’t you think?
@@husainramakdawala5588 the first stain looked so much better. Right?
@@husainramakdawala5588 the first stain looked so much better. You agree?
Give the man a break he’s been through enough 😂
Man, I feel like the doors got ruined with that third round of staining. The first two iterations looked so much better.
First stain: excellent, gorgeous, deep, rich colors, grain just pops
Second stain: still good, good grain and color
Third stain: disgusting, like, WTF was she thinking?
Money does not buy taste
Agreed.
She wasn't....
i think it is the lightning the third looks good. the other two were to orangie
Previous stain was better - matter of taste. Great work nonetheless.
the door is not in your house and if his wife likes the second stain just keep quiet and deal with it. when you make it in your house stain it however you want to.
@@husainramakdawala5588 i think the fisrt one looked way better, don't you agree?
@@holz_shop I agree but don’t you think if his wife likes the second he should have the second stain in his house
Looks like shit
@@husainramakdawala5588 yea but i still like the first one better :)
I really loved the way the doors looked before they got sanded down at the end. I still think they look good, but losing the clearly shown woodgrain and the coloring just isn't my thing. More to that point though, it's ya'll house so even if other people don't care for it, what you guys like/want is what matters. Love your vids and can't wait to see how the rest of the room/house turns out.
Yea I liked them better with the original stain as well, but it's just preference I guess.
Agreed. I went from thinking they were OK to looking bad. I hope that is just because of the camera but I wouldn't be surprised to see a future video of the doors being sanded down one more time.
@@davidhenner5067 the door is not in your house and if his wife likes the second stain just keep quiet and deal with it. when you make it in your house stain it however you want to.
@@husainramakdawala5588 OK. thanks for reminding me this is not in my house, I forgot. All I was saying is there is a good chance his wife saw it a second time and actually didn't want to say do it again a 3rd time immediately afterward.
I'm hearing very negative vibes. I'm OK with them having it any way they want. I'm also OK with them doing 10 more edits. It gives us more videos. Sorry If you heard negativity that wasn't intended.
@@husainramakdawala5588 And that comment was made by David's preference and if you don't like it stfu.
The second stain looked like shit. Definitely should've stood your ground and kept the old color. Awesome build either way.
couldnt agree more, no color, no vibrance, nothing.
Gotta agree with you on this one.
I agree. Looks like you patted off your chalk erasers on the second color.
Do all you guys mean the third and final one at the end? Cause I agree that looks awful but I loved the second one.
Agreed, the final doors lost their charm. It looked a lot better imo as it was first hung.
Got to be honest man, the way the doors looked before you sanded them was so so so much better. You could see the grain of the wood. Now they look patchy with big cracks in them. 🤦🏻
He did not reapply the pre-stain after sanding off the fruitwood color. That is why the 3rd and final stain color looks patchy and blotchy.
Looks like the poly wasn't 100% removed
I have done some woodworks in the past but this woodwork plan czcams.com/users/postUgkxZF0EMnrujZvqHhGkxiz559uIABJWR9TG helps me do much in a far lesser time than i used to do i have already built several projects with this plan and i intend to do many more soon. Thank you so much!
“Looks good, when are you gonna stain it?” DEAD 😂😂😭
Bro, the doors were awesome with the fruit stain. Now they look like you tried to paint over them. Awesome build though.
Those doors are amazing but that first stain was TO DIE FOR! 😱 it was gorgeous!! Not too big a fan of the final stain but beautiful either way!
i actually really liked the stain that your wife didnt. it went really well with the white room and the final stain just looks dull. but not my house and probably one of those things where in person it looks completely different.
Whenever my wife asks, “ how much do you love me?”. I say, “ not as much as you think”.
Lmao, exactly!
This is the funniest shit I've ever seen.
🤣🤣
Good on you for making your wife happy but the first stain would have been my choice.
Yeah, wife's aren't always right. But gotta make them happy. lol
The very first stain you did was so good! I definitely agree that the second stain wasn’t it… it was too yellow. Even a dark walnut stain would’ve looked nice.
I thought the second stain was too yellow too! It was clashing with the rest of the colors in the house, especially the floor. Definitely should have chosen like a darker, cool toned stain.
"In about 2 episodes, I'll be wearing a tanktop." 7 minutes later in a tank top.
Good job matey, I would have just handed her the sander and said 'crack on'
As soon as I saw that last round of staining, I came running to the comments and you all did not disappoint
Same! lol
What a build! Personal preferences on stains aside, this is incredible skill and so inspiring
the first stain was so beautiful! putting a cool stain over warm wood always looks muddy to me
I loved the second stain on the doors. Having said that, the way those boards are cracking, the last stain makes the doors look older then they actually are. The final effect is awesome!!! 👍 This does highlight the importance of doing tester pieces so the chances of sanding and re finishing go way down 😋😅👍👍👍
Those doors were amazing… when I saw the final finish all I could do was say, “Oh no…”
Fantastic build!
Just an FYI, it's likely cracking because of the end grain to side grain connection. The middle (chevron) pieces are drying out and shrinking across their width, but are constrained by the rails (and the dominos used to secure it). You've essentially made a giant breadboard end without allowing for wood movement.
This project will be a tough lesson on wood movement.
That was my thought too. If I remember, the reasons that shaker panels are installed into rabbets is to allow the panels to move independently of the rails and styles.
This would have worked better if the chevrons had been cut with a spline that allows them to slot into a grove along the styles.
Hey guys, I'm considering building an outdoor gate with the same design. What would be the right construction method to avoid the cracks? Should I use tongue and groove to connect everything? For the inside panels, should I use glue or leave them loose to allow for wood movement. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!
Well he said he's not afraid to fail... that fail will only be seen later.
@@EduardoAndreotti2 There are a few things to consider, the way you join the frame is up to you (dominos, dowels, tongue and grove, etc). The most important thing is that wood expands and contracts across its width, so you need to account for that. The easiest way, for a door in that style, would be to construct it like a frame and panel door and make sure the panel part (the chevrons) sits in deep enough grooves that it can move. It would also help to not glue them all together, so the movement can be spread across a few different panels.
Veneer or using plywood for the chevrons is another option that would work. Using plywood strip instead of solid wood for the chevrons would let you glue everything solid as per this video.
"how much do you love me?" Ouch, glad my better half never drops lines like that...
Hahah
Lol she went in for the kill, OUCH! 😅😅😅
Once those words were said, not a split second passed when I knew the doors would get sanded! Happy wife, Happy Life :) Love it!
Agreed! I don't think that's healthy communication in a relationship at all.
Toxic wife, and you've got no balls 🤷
First stain looked awesome, second looks a bit like paint. Also it looks like you may need to adjust the way they hang. The gap gets wider towards the top.
The first stain looked *SO* much better!! That was painful to see you have to change them! But, great work none the less as always!
I would have been like "eff it, I'm done."
Great. I break my back working to bring all of this into fruition, only for my wife to pass by and tell me "she doesn't like the stain" that she specifically picked. So, if my wife wants something specific done with the colours and she changes her mind or becomes disappointed, I will let her do all the work so she can make it as she wanted.
Here’s my take- she picked the stain based on the final color. It’s his job to color match the actual stain to the wood he used, not blame her for not knowing it would be different based on the wood. Dudes at fault here, not her.
I congratulate you for making exactly what the customer wanted, even when it was different from what you planned. One of the biggest reasons to make your own stuff is that you can make it perfect for one important person, and it doesn't need to sell to anyone else.
The shrinkage-caused splitting does look interesting too.
I definitely prefer the original stain you put on it. But having said that it doesn’t look terrible. Really like the hardware you put on at the end. It’s a nice accent and ties it in really well to the hanging and sliding hardware. Been waiting for this video, our house is being built and I’ve decided on a barn door for our “bonus” room.
Call you Danielson with all that sanding, poor guy. It turned out great though and the festool domino joiner is a game changer. Keep up the great work as the goal is for us to continue to inspire others to build something awesome! 👍🏼
My wife always gets me with the “ how much do you love me “ line and you think like mannnnn I do love you freak it !
It has everything I love to see ; wood working, try and error, eye balling, kiss from lovely wife and commitment for sanding again. lol 👍
The good ol "how much do you love me" line. Doors look amazing!
Gets us all the time
When the wife said, "it's not my favorite"....
Omg, 😂
My wife has done that to me countless times.
You need to build a man cave next after all of the aggravation you just went thru
*Everyone* We like the 1st stain
*Me* The 2nd stain is on point! It goes with y'all style
The fracture marks are like an added bonus because it adds so much interest and looks somewhat rustic-chi. Love your work!!!
Gotta agree with other folks in the comments, the first stain looked better in my opinion.
Also, I’d love to see an episode where you addressed what you learned about the cracking in the wood. I get that the doors are up now and you’ll just look at them as “adding character” (I’d do the same thing), but you didn’t intend for them to be there. So, I’d really get a lot from an episode where you discuss what you’d do differently if you could.
Regardless, huge respect for you and our family for putting all of this out there for us to see. That takes courage and I look forward to your videos and watch them as soon as they come out. Keep up the great work, it’s inspirational for all of us DIY’ers out here.
I was thinking the same when I saw the cracks. It brings character to the doors. It’s like and accent wall/doors. Beautiful work…
"Wife disappointed" story of my life... Doors came out great, good job!
Story of any guys life, women are never happy lol
@@Romanslost Truer words have never been spoken🤣
when the stain does not come up the same because it is not the same wood. Rubio white, that was it
Gorgeous!!! Can't believe you made these!!! WOW!!
Looked way better before
100%
I thought so too.
Oh for sure 1000%
Doesn’t matter. Happy wife….happy life. Good on him for changing it for her.
I was a fan
They look so good! Both stains are great but the first is def my fave. Beautiful work!
When doing body work on a car we use guide coat to help sand everything perfectly. Same technique with the pencil before sanding. As always great work! I will say I did like the stain and clear you used when you first hung the door before changing it to the final stain.
The doors 🚪 are gorgeous! They go good with the floors! Great job! Thank you for the video❣️
First stain was my favourite, but that door though, ahhmazing!
Love the final stain!!!! It’s always good to be different rather than what everyone else likes. Plus it goes with the modern aesthetic of your home!! Amazing job👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Great idea using ratchet straps to clamp. I love the creativity.
The construction of the doors are beautiful.
Gotta love the wife's face when you say, "Do you like it?" And they respond, "Well I don't live it" lol
Could the doors be any bigger 🤣 looking great tho completely finishes off the room ...felt your pain when you sanded them down again but Happy Wife Happy Life great vid again as always !
Happy wife happy life.
@@MrBuildit Alex ! Do you ship your merch to the Wales UK 🏴🇬🇧 ?
@@MrBuildit put that on a shirt and add it to the merch!
tip for glueing up end grain, apply a very thin layer of wood glue with a fast cure time, that way it doesn't just suck up all the glue ;)
I must admit I much prefer the very first stain you used (the grey one) before you even hung the doors, it was more of a sort of grey wash over the wood and looked really great. . . . But at the end of the day . . . Happy Wife, Happy Life.
Lesson learned: Triple check with the wifey before pressing on. Oh third stain looks like dried mud. Fruit wood (second stain) was the ticket. Not sure how she likes the third. But I don’t have to look at it daily so there’s that. Awesome build though!!
#TripleCheck
That is the wisdom for the day!
Or just hire prostitutes instead of getting married and being henpecked by some hag.
I loved the natural coating from the fruit wood. All your effort to sand down, but taste is important when you diy your own house.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The doors looked beautiful before your spouse complained, however, you needed to make her happy. Honestly, you do a great job, I wish you were near me you would have lots of work to do which I would gladly pay for. Looking forward to the final reveal of the entire home. Stay Hydrated & Cool this summer... Abrazos
The second stain was beautiful!!!
Beautiful craftsmanship. We all have different tastes when it come to stain. What matters is that YOU love it!!
Hanging works if art! Massive doors! They look amazing.
Dang, I love how you show the pain and agony of finishing something just for the wife to not love it. The things we do for our wives! This happens alot at my house! Good work! Your channel is very inspiring and helps with my confidence to try projects I've never done!
Amazing, I really liked the first stain, it look really cool but when the wife says something you gotta do what she says, or else you're sleeping in the couch lol
Worth the change. Great looking project. You’ve got some serious hours into that project !
Looks great! I wish these videos came out faster and faster!! this is probably the best serious on CZcams. hands down!
First stain was like 10x better than the end of the video i fast forwarded to LOL
I feel your pain, been there done that with the honey-do list. LOL. The door build was great and I too like the previous stain. Is what it is, build is solid. Keep up the great work! Looking forward to more vids….
Good looking doors, man! I did like the first stain, too, but I understand keeping your wife happy. Ultimately they have a better eye than most of us dudes.
Excellent job as always. Man you did the right thing sanding down and repainting the doors, because she will remember about the color every second of you life. So is better have a happy wife for a happy life.
Stellar my man! Looks phenomenal.
these look incredible!
Great job
Husband of the year award. I know this pain dude. Proud for patience and perseverance. Happy wife happy life
what was it that you did to the router to create the bottom channel did you have a 1x2 taped/glued??
So you went from crocs to a tank top in only ONE video--nicely done. I do agree that the original stain looked better, but I agree--happy wife, happy life. Cool project.
Gorgeous Alex. I hate gel stain. I always show the customer a sample piece of wood before staining everything. It's crazy how different woods can take the same stain and look wildly different
That second stain was beautiful absolutely gorgeous. Your wife tries to make it seem like she’s always right but she’s not. I’ve been watching your video’s. Good luck with the rest of the house man. I appreciate all the manhours you’ve put in to make someone else happy.
Regarding the cracks you mentioned at the end:
Did you use framing lumber? If so the boards probably weren’t completely dried. As they dried they shrunk a little causing the cracks you noticed.
He said they were just 2x6, Dimensional lumber.
@@waynetibak1828 that doesn’t entirely address my point. Dimensional lumber could be green or kiln dried which have drastically different moisture contents. Kiln dried should not have the problem I was describing
@@teejer90 Even kiln dry dimensional lumber is not dry enough to not get movement after it dries. I made a "nice" table once with kiln dried lumber. After it dried it still shrank 1/4 in some places.
@@teejer90 I don’t know if any Home Depot that sells no KD dimensional lumber. It’s typically Doug fur KD.
Awesome job I cannot even imagine the height but well done. I cracked up when wify found the Stain but love the honesty. Well done guys
First stain was definitely the best 3rd one i was thinking you had yet to wash the excess off.
"I'm sanding this sucker down" - I died!
to keep them closed when desired, you could add a couple recessed magnets at the top/bottom so the doors aren't bouncing around
How did you make your doug fir so white? Did you bleached it? Mine still reddish
The best part of this whole video is the baby pointing at the door 🤣
The last stain looks so much better
16:06 Omg The Disappointment In His Voice😭‼️ Poor Thing 😭🤣 This The Perks Of Being A Bob The Builder Husband 🤷🏽♀️😂 Happy Wife, Happy Life 🙌🏽
The differing variation in grain orientation is going to get sketchy from a wood movement perspective. Hi likelihood of warping or cracking as moisture levels change.
The first stain was amazing 😻 the second looked patchy and weird on camera. . I’m sure it looks better in person.
how do you keep the lumber from warping as it acclimates ?
Aww man I felt the pain when you had to re, re sand the doors 😅
Lol
Awesome job man!! Also I’m pretty sure that wood started shrinking because it isn’t fully dried from the stores anymore.. I helped my boss build a deck and we didn’t even put spacing between planks and now they’re all evenly spaced out by about a quarter inch! Nice job though those doors are sweet!
thumbs up for the pre-stain!
The last stain is definitely the best one. The crack marks actually make it look better in my opinion
Dude, you are a stud. 99% of the people would have quit and left it at the fruitwood.. you saying that was the hardest doors you built and that's why you wanted to finish it right and strong is a lesson to all the quitters out there. Good job, man.
With my electric hand planer, I'll get loads of edges and ridges showing up. How did you avoid it with this door?
Mate you did such a nice job with the doors, the fruitwood stain looked fantastic, showed off the hard work and timber grains, it's a shame your misses likes the look of mud instead of timber, I think they would have looked better white than the final colour, but each to their own.
Just a suggestion, use tongue and groove boards for center section of door to account for wood movement
We made a DIY Barn door: we took a regular door and then we mostly just put it on rails we stained it we have to go over it and it's nice we have to finish it still. 💞
Love the design and they look beautiful in the space! Always amazing what you’re able to build and how great each piece is. Gel stain did hide some of the wood grain I think. Did you find that the sanding affected any of the grain or how the final product turned out having had done it 3 times?
Quote: "We had so much fun".
Me like rewinds a bit.
15:10 Yeah so much fun indeed.
You are to GOOD man. "If Mama isn't happy, nobody's happy."
