The Best Price on Barn Door Hardware I have found: amzn.to/2zrMFHw
Barn Doors are very popular right now. On my last remodel we installed 6 Barn Doors throughout the house. Finding Barn Doors in the style we needed, in the custom sizes we needed, for a reasonable price was very difficult. I figured out a way to make a beautiful yet inexpensive barn style door using readily available pine lumber from the box stores. Doing so you'll save HUNDREDS of Dollars doing it yourself. This is a super easy beginner level project.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I have watched multiple videos trying to learn how to do this and you are the FIRST person who showed how to measure the mitre angles for the cross brace!!!
My man! This video should have 1,000,000 likes. This is exactly what I needed. I’m a beginner DIY and wood worker and I feel fully prepared to do this now! Thank you!
I have tried to cut a Z brace for over two years with a miter saw and have not been able to figure it out to save my soul lol. Not can anyone else on the internet explain how to cut it except YOU! Finally someone can & does explain exactly how to get that perfect Z brace. Thanks so much for your help. Great video!!
Finally, a barn door video that doesn’t start with a piece of plywood.👍
Thank you for your video. Your son is just too adorable!!
My mind is blown away by 'mini-things.' I can't believe I never thought of that incredibly simple how-to trick. Thank you!!!
This is AWESOME! Also your son is so cute 🥹
That little boy is so adorable! His little voice!!🥰
You should check out my newest video. Festool TID 18 unboxing. He's so much bigger now.
Thank you! This was an enjoyable and satisfying project for me and I have next to no carpentry experience!
Brandon Begotka awesome! I’m so glad I could help!
Thank you for the ideas! Very simple and good looking.
I gave this guy a thumbs up, even though Kalergian.
Interesting and helpful. thanks.
awesome instructions and beautiful door, thanks!
Thank you. I now have an updated video that better explains some of the steps. www.therecreationalwoodworker.com/blog/how-to-make-a-barn-door
U make this look easy, now I will have to try this and c if I can make something look amazing for my wife.
Bradakin Skywalker May the force be with you.
Beaudie!! Thanks
merci, pour les informations
I'm trying to build an outdoor shed door that looks like barn door. What's best approach, 3/4 plywood with trim or tongue and groove planks glued with trim to hold in place? Would be hinged and have to survive winters. Great video!!
What size rail do I need for a 42" door? Thanks so much for your video!
I'm thinking you could easily adapt this into headboard/foot-board for beds. The "door" look for them is pretty popular right now. I'm thinking about making us a headboard similar to these barn doors turned horizontal for our king bed.
great idea, i have done it, it will look awesome
Did this warp at all eventually? Looking to do something similar
Of course we are not bad guys. :)
Crazy how many of the videos slip over the technique of cutting the z brace or have some 30 minute drawn out explanation.
Appreciate the video!
How does the wood have the grooves at the beginning when you are gluing them? Is it purchased this way or something you did to the wood? Also do you have any videos on an X design?
These are the Tongue and Groove "Pattern Boards" from Home Depot. They come this way. As far as the X you just do the same thing you do for the big brace. Lay out your board and mark where it hits, then cut to size.
Interested to know how this held up. Typically it is not a good idea to completely glue across crossing grain like you did on the horizontal pieces. The vertical and horizontal pieces expand and contract in different directions and this can break the glue joint.
It's doing just fine
Agreed. Its not a method that takes into account the properties of solid timber. Its treating solid wood as if it were a manufacture board.
@ if you are going to add enough mechanical fasteners to make the glue unnecessary after it breaks, why glue?
@@DaileyWoodworks How about now? Seriously friend, instead of doubling down on how your half-door is doing just fine...maybe admit that there is a problem with your approach. If you want pictures of this problem...let me know.
Good job and look out for the bad guys lol.
seems there are some bag guys in the comment section...lol
Why on earth did you glue the T&G boards together and more importantly, why did you glue the horizontal braces to the T&G boards?
It's only a small door so you may get away with it but on a full size door it would not last a year before it buckled out of shape and split the wood.
Question> should he only have used nails? why would the wood buckle? (Planning on making this easy door).
The exterior doors on my shop are made great this way and have held up just fine for about a year and a half. I also never bothered painting them. Don’t stress about it
You can join our Facebook group “The Recreational Woodworker” I’ll post some pictures as proof
I agree with BlueKingFisher. The wood panel should float to allow for seasonal expansion & contraction. If it's just for funsies & crafts with no concern for longevity, that's fine, but I think something should be stated up-front about that. If I was charging for the job then I wouldn't conscionably be able to take these shortcuts.
Jeff Gerardot absolutely correct.the whole idea of the t&g boards is to allow for movement (float as you say). Why would you want to glue them?
Knock KNOCK
what size Brad NAILS ???
16g or 18 G
also What Length ?
Followed this design but with a larger door and even though it was kiln dried wood once winter set in it bowed. Have been told that you do not want to glue down a board with grain perpendicular to the panel. Once things warm up around here I will try again.
Yeah mate, don't use glue on the T&G but also leave a small gap in-between each with a small shim (like tiling) to allow for expansion. The whole point of using T&G is for this purpose
nice video, but one question. Could the glue that you are applying to your tongue and grove swell and warp that door. I don't know that is why I am asking this question.
rr po no woodglue provides the majority of the door’s strength
Okay, thanks because I want to attempt a project that incorporates wood glue.
Theoretically yes, he is taking out the ability for the wood to naturally expand and contract. It may be more important on a full sized door.
@@brewsterly2927 Hi thanks for your reply. Just to make sure I did a smaller project using wood glue. I started and finished a cutting board. Everything looked great, though a few months later the thing starts to bow. So the only thing that I can think of is that I am using to much glue. I can't explain it any other way.
There a a few reasons why this could happen. If it is just a relatively small project, like your cutting board, it could be the timber dimensions, adequate seasoning, finish used and the woods natural ability to withstand periodic immersion in water.
It takes research, good luck.
Shouldn't glue T&G boards. They need to be allowed to expand/contract with humidity and temperature changes, even if they're inside doors.
I built two exterior doors to my shop, gluing the joints. For 2.5 years they’ve held up perfectly fine
Its a Stable door.
Why rip the wood. Why didn't you just use 1x4?
Hello
I'd like to know if you're close to NYC.
Love for you to make us 4 pocket doors in the style of a Barn Door.
Hoping you're close :)
Thank you.
Joe
Ps- If anyone knows of a talented woodworker who may be able to help please contact us.
This guy needs to read a book on wood movement. Don't build your barn doors this way. They will not last.
Calm down Karen, these doors are just fine
Woodglut plans are amazing!
I will try to do it with Woodglut plans.
Why are you calling this a barn door__?? A barn door is a barn door-- what you’ve built aint.
M. M. Thank you for your useless insight
Dailey Woodworks If that’s a barn door I’m Richard Nixon.
