Hidden Door from an Existing Door: DIY
In this video I take a standard interior door and make it disappear into a slat accent wall. I've seen some other impressive videos of people hiding doors this way, including the one that inspired me to do this project by @DesignCraftWorkshop (linked below). In his video though he custom makes both the door AND door frame, all with some fancy green and black tools, so I set out to find a way to achieve a similar result with far less skill (and if you thought I was referencing Ryobi tools, that’s very cute, you’re the target audience for this video)

Check out the DIY mini golf hole I built for the 2024 Dude Dad Mini Golf Open (yes that's a real thing). The event was held at New Belgium Brewery in Fort Collins, CO, with proceeds from playing the holes going to RespiteCare. Based on the free computer game Space Cadet, the hole features interactive pinball mechanics that give the player a chance at a birdie or hole-in-one. It was a lot of wor...

Ultimate DIY Cat ‘Tree’

When was the last time you saw someone's cat tree and thought "wow, what a nice piece of furniture". In this video I try to change that by building a cat tree/tower (potato/potatoe) out of one large driftwood piece. I made some mistakes along the way and discovered what electric scissors were.

DIY Car Rust Repair (no experience)
Просмотров 1,9 тыс.Год назад
In this video I'll fix a rust spot on my old Audi S4 using a kit from 3M and paint from TouchUpDirect. There are definitely some things I could've done better, or will do different next time, but overall it turned out pretty good for having zero bodywork experience. Lesson learned- don’t be afraid to go out and try something new! Affiliate Links: Rust spot kit: amzn.to/43yacU3

In this video I'll redo our old worn-out backyard steps that lead down to our patio by changing out the wood treads for composite boards, and the wood balusters for flat aluminum ones. I'll also fill in some of the cracks where the wood is deteriorating with Bondo wood filler.

    You're a wiener for trying to fool someone into buying that. You could have just used rough pine and stained it. It's cheaper than the foam, and much less work. Thumbs down for being just another douche who hides amongst the rest of us. At least now we know what you look like.

    I think these turned out amazing! Great job! One observation (don’t mean to be a critic) but maybe to make the add on pieces at the end a little less obvious, maybe you could have glued the extra length to the end before adding the joint compound and faux wood grain and then staining it all at once. That way the grain lines wouldn’t get disrupted by the joint compound and the stain would be more consistently applied. Yours really did turn out amazing!

    If you look real close at most coffee shops and places like restaurants that are new buildings you may notice that they do not have brick or solid finishes on the exterior. Instead they are using foamboard that have a skim coat of colored spackling applied to them. If you ping a lit cigarette at it, it'll melt right in. Being a millworker/ woodworker contractor for a lot of years, we've done many faux beams and columns and sills, etc. I cannot judge this work because I don't trust pictures of work. (even though they say a picture tells a thousand words). If I see things up close in real life with my own eyes and not in a picture or video, then I can see the truth, but that's just my eye and professionalism. I like your creativity and I think you are talented. It does look good, from here, but I'd be concerned on how easily it can be damaged, and for me that's warranty work. (we like to build things durable that'll last for years). What if the next guy wants to paint it and bumps it, damaging the fragile product. Man would they be upset. Still, It caught my eye. So props for that. But now I have to go out and get a burrito because you made me hungry. Good Job! Great video!!

    • @AverageDadChannel
      @AverageDadChannel 21 день назад

      Ya this would’ve been a good idea, thought about putting black mesh over it and having the slats go down through it like you said, but it’s covered up by furniture for our setup so decided against the extra effort

    This is great!! I’m currently in the middle of the exact same project. I’ve been avoiding the hinge installation because I’m terrified I’m going to mess up the door. I 3D printed spacers to keep the boards level, but never thought to print up a router guide for the hinge alignment. Such a good idea!

  • @richt.4900

    From a distance it looks perfect and impressive,well done! I’d probably have incorporated a skirting board with hidden up lighting and mirrored the same up to the ceiling. Those dark gaps are excellent for hiding led strips. Lighting will transform it into another dimension. Well, you did ask. 😂 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿😇

    I am a finish trim carpenter, and have built faux beams of various complexity for my GC's clients and I can assure you that they pay (him, not me) a lot more than a few hundred dollars for a whole room! I watched this because I like seeing creative and frugal solutions. It's very impressive for a DIY homeowner! I'm about to build a few beams for my own house, and I'm not sure if I will do this myself, mostly to avoid the ridicule and shaming when my boss comes over to see the finished house that I've been working on for almost two years! Clever idea! 😎

    very nice idea and workmanship. However in most jurisdictions, exposed polystyrene foam can't be left uncovered due to its toxic smoke if there is a fire. If it is exposed in an occupied space, it must be covered by wood, gypsum, or cement. . My building inspector nailed me on that. I learned the hard way.
