Thank you

Thanks, I’m glad you found them helpful. I order insulated, dual pane glass panels from a company called Peninsula glass, you can order on their website. Before building the door I know how big the areas of glass will be (just from planning), but I always wait to order the glass until the door is made, just to limit the room for error.

They are called space balls. They keep tension on the panel to keep it from rattling while still allowing the panel to expand and contract.

Thank you! I used West System epoxy.

No stain, just Bona finish

No, I haven’t. I’m not familiar with contact adhesives exterior uses. The few times I’ve done interior veneer work I’ve used urea resin formaldehyde, otherwise I’ve always used epoxy with great success, so I stick with it.

Scott, I’m glad you found value in the videos. The cutter is made by Freeborn tool. It’s one of their double sided cope and pattern sets and I’m using the glass panel groover, also made by them.

@@Capefearwoodwrights Thanks much

Hey Stu, yeah it’s time consuming and expensive. Freeborn cutters are real nice, but they too are quite expensive.

The sizing of the glass really depends on the size of the tongue of your cutter. In my case it was 5/8”, so I typically go 1/4” undersized, sometimes slightly more depending out how it works out, I shoot for a 1/4” undersized, but will go to 3/8,” because I have 5/8 on each side, so a total of 1 1/4” to play with. The space balls I use are the 1/4” ones I usually have to cut them in half. One thing to keep in mind is the cutting allowance, some times the glass could be 1/8” more than you specified and tempered glass can’t be cut, so 3/16” undersized won’t be too much… in my opinion. Thanks for watching and the comment. Best of luck.

@@Capefearwoodwrights Yes I will agree about the glass size, I ran into some minor trouble once when the glass came oversize. A bit of a surprise.

Joshua, thank you. I appreciate all compliments.

I have limited experience using polyurethane glue, I don’t like how it foams, so I usually use epoxy. I’ve had great experiences with epoxy, so I stick with it.

I've never really liked Polyurethane much. I've used plastic resin and of course epoxy. I was using Dap plastic resin, but now they took it off the market unfortunately.

@@Capefearwoodwrights is it a special type of epoxy?

I used West systems epoxy

Thanks for the feedback. It was a little wobbly, but I pressed on 😅

Thanks. The inside of the door and the outside look the same.

Thank you for the kind words!

I was using Dowsil. The balls are called space balls. They are rubber balls that keep pressure on the panel to allow it to expand and contract and not rattle.

Thank you

Hey Scott, thanks. The machines do make most processes much easier. I started out with small/cheap tools and worked my way up, if I can do, I’m sure you could too!

I appreciate the kind words. I've filmed the process of making another door- stave core, shop sawn veneer, vacuum bag etc. just have to put it together.

Thanks, unfortunately I’m not in that space anymore, it got sold so I had to move out. It really depends, I typically work on this kind of stuff at night, so I usually don’t get a full day at it. I could make just the door in a few days, but making the jamb and sidelights really adds to it, so maybe 8 days or so.
