Thanks for the reply Josh..I am enclosing a partial area of a patio to accommodate a sitting room for a severely handicapped person abd I don't have the height to get a regular door there so I'm thinking that I nay have to build one. It will be a sliding exterior for wheelchair access..
what of the door was made to short, is it possible to add a 12 inch extension? 🙁
@@tonyalangdon763 lol, we have all been there. Maybe you could edge glue a 6" piece on both the top and bottom to keep the symmetry... I think that may be the least noticeable fix but maybe you will think of something better.
@@JoshWrightWoodworking that makes sense, I'll work on that. I made this shed and doors from skids, would it be possible to share a pic with you. I measure the top board, 7'2", I still did 6'2"
Look up wobbling the blade its like a dato of sorts. Great job on them doors.
Pro-tip: as you were assembling the door, you were wiping the glue spill out off, after clamping everything together, let the bead of glue dry then just snap it off later. This will keep you from having to sand to get all the glue smear off and your whole surface will stay plumb. Just a light sanding will clean up where the glue was.
Looks like my dust collection system...on the floor, in the machines, on my shirt, basically everywhere. Great job on the doors.
Box fan with a home air filter zip tied to the intake end of it!
Got that one from a friend who would stick it by their door and brush their cat in front of it.
That cat is larger than a raccoon. And we have some big raccoons in the area
“Painted against my will” I feel for ya man. They look great!
Door blanks like this are going for $380+ in many places. I know, because I’ve been looking for a door for the cabin I’ve been remodeling. Exceptional value in making these yourself. Good job!
It's nice to see a real person's workshop and seeing the kind of tools a real person would use! Thanks!
For sure!
Great job buddy, you have inspired this 56 year old to try my hand at making a set of doors for my study. Good to see a young man working hard. you are a true craftsman
Absolutely...!!!
This Country needs more young men like him.
Did you end up making them Rick? I'd love to know how they turned out.
@@cmhuffman1986 No I didn't shortly after this video our home got flooded and we have been out of it to rebuild
it is refreshing to see such a young man work with wood and show skill without a cnc machine.Very nice job.
This guy is proof you don't need a whole lot of fancy tools to get the job done.
Bro, I clicked on this video after seeing your comment (which was apparently the first one).
He has a table saw, mitre saw, band saw and enough clamps what else do you need for this.
Me: trying to figure out how to complete a project with my only tool - the circular saw! 🤪
@@soyythomas well I guess on the majority of videos I watch it seems like everybody has a warehouse full of tools. This guy has enough to get by but not an overabundance.
But a router would have made cleaning out those tongue and groove cuts a lot faster and easier.
@@steelsunpi mm yes. But I don't think he doesn't own one. He might just like it the other way.👍
His router is part of his miter saw set up
What you lack in tools, you make up in skill. Great woodworking Josh, I appreciate you sharing your talent with all of us.
probably the top five set of barn doors I've seen built on you tube so far. This kid has some skills and is going to go far.
That table saw was the main character in this video...it earned its keep. Great job.
Excellent build! "Against my will" was definitely the 'finishing' touch!
Probably could have remained unsaid.. seems a bit disrespectful ro Mom
@@razorkane5011 It's more about preference than disrespect. I think it was meant to be a bit of humor.
"painted against my will" 😂😂😂😂
Awesome videos man!!!
In my house : Against my will
Translation: Married
You could suggest to your Mom that a translucent finish would be nice. Say a white wax. The wood will darken beneath but won’t go yellow like varnished pine does.
If it was me I would put a nice varnish on it any ways and be like oops I forgot you wanted them painted. The be like but mom look how nice they are.
painted against my will too. That some beautiful wood.
Wow, finally, a video that shows you how to make a basic interior door with basic tools. Thank you, sir, for taking the time to show us that it can be achieved. I need to replace all of my interior doors , nd with the help of your video, it will now be possible for this 64 yr old female to finally start this project. 👏👍
I have done this before, and it works great. A couple of things you might want to add to your shop to make your life easier is a couple of folding saw horses and a 1/2 pc of plywood to make an offload table, and a rolling stand to feed. I do a lot of stuff on job sites rather than in a shop, so I have had to make do a lot, but anytime you get stuff over 2-3ft long having a little extra support makes it easier, safer, and gives you a better product. But that said I really enjoy both the way you are doing things, and the way you explain them. As a teacher I enjoy watching others that teach, and explain things in a simple understandable way. It doesn't take a genius to make complicated well complicated, but it does take one to simplify things.
They look great. Loved the quip about “painted against my will” hahaha
Noooooo! Don't paint these gorgeous wood doors, Mom! Just poly them and enjoy the craftsmanship and natural beauty!
Noooooooo! Don't poly those gorgeous wood doors! Apply a nice finish like shellac or linseed oil!
To be fair, I saw her floors and they are wood, as well as wood baseboards. I don’t think there is even stain on them. I feel she’s just balancing things out in the house by painting the doors while benefiting from the solid wood ;)
That’s what I said. Painting those beautiful doors should be a crime 😅
Nice to see someone that doesn’t rely on thousands of tools but on skill . Great job thanks for the video
You never cease to amaze me Josh. I love the comment about painting "against my will"...... agreed 👍
Nice to see you leaving the panels floating - many people glue and nail/screw everything together, forgetting about seasonal wood movement (and boy do we get plenty of that in the UK!). Also good to see a small table saw being used for both joinery and re-sawing. I love learning, and taught me quite a bit, thanks!
Very nice job Josh. So nice to see such a young man with these skills! Never lose respect for your power tools as you continue to build your skills. Consider always using a push stick no matter what your depth of cut is! My rule of thumb (why I still have two at 73 years old) is to never allow my hand to pass over the blade on my jointer and table saw no matter what the depth of cut is set at.
Enjoyed your vid!
John
I use that same rule. My dad worked for a man when I was kid that built gazebos. One day the man was cutting a large rabbit in a 4x4 cedar post on the table saw. He was guiding the board over the blade with his hands, not really thinking much of it, I guess, because the blade was only cutting through half the thickness of the board. However, there a really bad knot in the board and when the dado blade hit it , the board pretty much exploded and his hand went right down on the blade. Lost his pinky, ring finger and a quarter of his palm. The stuff of nightmares.
Sawdust all over the shop! Finally a woodworker I can relate to! But what's that thing covering his face???
Great job. You make it look so simple.
You're not only a good woodworker, you're also a good son. Keep it up, you're doing great.
Always check the diagonals for squareness before glue sets. Cheap items to have: rags, glue brush, outfeed roller stands. Nice job! 👍🏻
I just found your channel. Im impressed. Real world tools, real world shop, awesome builds. You've earned my subscription. Keep up the good work brother.
The way you make what is clearly a complex operation look simple and easy gets me every time. Thanks for another entertaining and interesting project vid dude.
It's not complex, it's actually really simple. He just did it in the most dangerous way possible and he also did it completely wrong.
Pretty much the exact doors I'm planning to build. Thanks for the detailed guide! Gonna try to tackle them as both interior doors as well as thinner versions of them as bifold closet doors.
One thing I have taken seriously and seen as game changer is using simple contractor grade tools for heavy commercial work, your table saw and miter as viewed most profitable tools for a very low cost, awesome video, thank you pal. ❤
I love these doors, Josh. Thanks for sharing this video with us.
Hell of a job sir, especially with minimal tools.
These look fantastic and you did very good using common tools for the average DyIer
Very impressed with your skills Josh; no fancy tools!!! WOW! Congratulations!!!
I made a couple of barn doors for my wife in our home, but I like how you did these doors and I might go back and make new doors based on your template. Thank you
Wow really nice Josh! Great to see a younger person doing this really great job. Excellent!
Great Job Man! I recently found your channel and I love the idea for creating content using minimal dimensional lumber to create projects that can be easily accomplished with very basic tools. Keep up the great work!
Router will make light use of creating a channel in that pine. If you have a router table you can speed up that process. Much faster than using the table saw and a chisel. Thanks for sharing. +1 for giving measurements. Most charge for those.
This made door making seem so easy. Thank you and good job!
Great job! It is wonderful to see someone from the younger generation that is will to work with their hands. Thank you for being an upcoming craftsman.
I didn't realize until about 11:20 how young this guy really is. I'm even more impressed now
Beautiful doors, hopefully we can see the finished project.
Appreciate all the work you put into these
Goes to show what you can do with ambition and effort . Great video
The doors turned out beautiful when I started I only had a couple of tools myself excellent excellent job keep up the great work love the videos new subscriber
Great looking doors! Nicely done.
Very beautiful doors, well made. Thank you for sharing your video.
Make yourself a router plane, Josh. Great for cleaning up those grooves. You can use an allen key for the blade.
I am loving your videos!!! You’re so amazing! I love working with wood and building things, but it took my foolish self to become an (*cough* older) adult to really appreciate making things with wood with my own hands. What I wouldn’t give to go back to middle school and learn all I could from my woodworking class. And now I feel the same for my agriculture class!! Ugh. At least I got home-ec down pat early on in life. Hah!
Wonderful job. I've been watching for a free exterior door on craigslist for my shop. After watching this I think I will build my own!!
Wow, you should be proud of the skill in you have both in creating and teaching.
Thanks.
This is exactly what I needed. Unlike a lot of videos out there, you showed us how to build quality doors without expensive specialized tools. I am curious about something. I noticed that you didn't use a planar. Did any of your pieces give you problems with bowing? Excellent camera work and narration, without annoying music and other nonsense.
I just made one of these myself with a table saw and circular saw in a parking lot on sawhorses. No planer. Just picked 5 super straight kiln dried boards at Lowes. Took 10 minutes to pick out 5, but no issues with bowing, just some cosmetic sanding on a few of the joints by the time I was done.
damn kid, im gonna have to start following you. I never thought about just making my own doors, hmmmm.
You make it look so easy. Beautiful job. Subscribed!
This is by far my favorite woodworking/DIY youtube channel, and I'm subscribed to probably 100 of them.
I like the way you built the doors with minimal tools and hand tools, and made them look awesome!
Well done young man! It's refreshing to see the younger generation doing such fine work. This video showed up in my feed at the perfect time as I'm planning on remaking all of the doors for the closets in our house.
great to watch what my tools and workshop looked like when I got started 15 years ago. Keep up the great work.
So simple, cost effective disign but good looking maked with a basic and affordable tools for everyone.
Most inspiring video!
Hi Josh, you are soooo talented. Thank you for posting and I truly enjoyed watching this video, you have inspired me to us what I have to build the doors I need for my new pantry. Keep up the awesome work.
Lumber for doors is usually quarter-sawn so it doesn't twist and bend as the humidity changes. Using framing lumber it won't be quarter sawn. Your panels should also be tongue and groove as well or they will have visible gaps when the wood dries out. Get a router table that you can use as a shaper to cut your joints and use quarter sawn lumber for real finished doors. A definite A for effort!
Sharp
Just watched this a second time. Love it! Beautiful work!
I’m excited to get my shop up and running and your videos are inspiring me and maybe I too can duplicate some of your woodwork. Very nice work and great video!
Wonderful job on these doors. Now that it's been about a year since you built them I'd love to know if you have any comments on how they've moved over time? Any issues with expansion or contraction of the solid lumber? any warping as they've dried out?
Good question, I would be curious also
I came to the comments to ask this myself, would love to know
Probably should make sure your using good quality lumber that is dry. A store bought door can warp a
Iittle too
I am also curious I imagine it being hung would keep it constrained enough but who knows with how bad construction lumber is
Excellent work. You have some good skills to expand from. I know it’s been said but please consider your shop safety a bit more. I’m mostly concerned with your tablesaw procedures. When cross cutting, try using a miter guide. Even if you don’t need it. Boards can easily get mis-aligned and will catch the blade and kickback. Also wouldn’t ever pass your hand over the sawblade no matter what. Use a push stick even when you don’t “need” it. I saw later in the video you were using a stick and that’s great.
He’ll learn 😉
I would also add that maybe one of your next projects be a table saw cabinet. There are many examples out there of rolling ones but watching it wobble while cutting made me cringe. Woodworking accidents can change your life. Maybe a shop vac on the dust port after the cabinet as well. Other than that, the doors look awesome. Good work.
Excellent job my Friend.
I can Imagine what you can do with Professional Tools.
You A Pro my Brother!. 👏👏👏
I like that you can see the screw shelf you made in another video in the background. Awesome work 🤘
Anyone know if this kid still has his fingers?
You just showed up on my home page and I just subscribed. I've made barn doors with a similar method, I just used t&g boards (which gets a little more pricey). Great work man!
Impressive results and love how these turned out.? WOW!
Great job working with what you have. Keep up the good work!!!!
Great job, however I you need to work safer, that table saw needs a proper stand and out feed table, stay safe
I was so nervous watching that part. I just knew one of those tenon cutoffs was gonna bind at the front of the blade and eject towards him. Now I know how other people feel when they watch me work and I’m like “it’s fine don’t worry so much!” 😂
Yes! please be safe. A kickback while your pulling that board and you could lose your right index finger.
And use a miter gauge for the cross cutting of the tenon shoulders, and a spacer block, not the fence, to get the length.
Safety's an Illusion, Use Caution and Awareness of your Surroundings. Safety can be taken for granted.. I've done similar projects with only a Skillsaw, Guide Jig And a Jawhorse..in the field.. outside.. Respect your Tools and learn Proficiency accidents Can and Will happen, no matter how bubble wrapped the world is..
@@mjolnirswrath23 promise I won't say I told you so
im 72 started i became a carpenter in 1970 and i like what you do keep up the good work
Way to go, Josh. Thank you for a great and informative video. We appreciate your talent in woodworking, and yes, we agree, leave them unpainted!!! Very nice finish.
I know you are young, but that is probably the most unsafe operation of a table saw I’ve ever seen! Be safe , save those digits for future use.
Absolut true,,,🙈🤦♂️
And d whole Workshop is a big mess.
Shame on you for such a joung man.
@@luisstanker1491 shops get messy when working on a project. Lighten up lol!
@@glennryzebol4472
In a dirty Workshop, a clean work will never arise.
U a little messi swine too, i am sure.
@@luisstanker1491 Haha. "Mess Swine" good one. While i work on something, it`s true that i am a "mess swine. I do tidy up regularly though. Your statement "In a dirty Workshop, a clean work will never arise" is a cute axiom but doesn`t actually carry much weight. Looks like he did a good job on his doors. Clean work as you say. He could work far more safely but we`re talking about mess grouchy man!
@@glennryzebol4472 shop was messy before he started
Please, for the sake of your future girlfriends, use some push sticks or something dude. you gonna lose those fingers
My heart dropped EVERY TIME he was at the table saw. Sweating bullets over here!
@@cherokeehawkproperties3899 ikr
From some one who's lost fingers on one of them.... Use a push stick at least man!! Hurts like hell. Watching that was jaw clenching. But nice job!
Well, at least he uses a mask & eye protection. But, I too worried about those fingers as I watched.
Push stick but also push block for those close ups that can tend to bind with smaller pieces.
The best video on CZcams for how to make interior doors, simple tool list and design. I'll make my door the same way except I'll use a piece of 1/4" plywood Instead of the slats, keep up the good work and stay safe!
These doors look fantastic, great 👍 work.
Awesome work! Nice touch on the top piece with the arc. Love them!
Absolutely lovely doors. Considering making a set for my apartment.
Looks great, thanks for sharing!
I enjoy seeing people do great work with modest tools.
Best thing about this video...is the safety disclaimer...awesome job on the door...awesome job on the warning....but man those cuts...i pray for your digits and your midsection on a kickback!
I appreciate your concern and I agree alot of the cuts were very dangerous. Keep in mind this video is a few years old, I have changed many of my bad habits since
Beautiful! Nicely done 👌🏻
Just found your channel. Very satisfying watching your work. Thank You.
Wow those look amazing!!
Great job! Love to see a young adult enjoying wood working
Thank you for making an excellent video on creating doors. You are very talented...keep going!
Good job simple and beautiful!
Great video for making solid wooden door. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful work! Makes me want to try that.
Very impressive especially working on such large pieces with such a compact tablesaw!
Great looking doors, Josh!
I got on youtube and looked up how to make doors. Your video popped up and, bam, I'm now making these doors too. Thanks for the video.
Turned out great!!!
This young man is a mill-shop BEAST!!
🤙🏼💪🏼
Congrats brother!!!!
Dude, I saw a shop vac in there somewhere, adapt that thing to collect your table saw dust to cut down on mess, fire and breathing hazards. I adapt one to connect to every tool I can.
You don’t need an expensive dust collection unit with ducts everywhere to benefit. There’s even how tos out there for making a cyclonic first stage out of a trash barrel to increase capacity and help vac filters last longer.
Really amazing
Wonderful and inspiring for an old chippy
Nice job. Exactly the style doors I need to make.
