Build an EASY Entry Door out of Solid Wood! 4K
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 окт 2024
- Ive been a woodworker for about 10 years now and have made several entry doors. These are quite a bit more complicated than making just a slab door to fit an existing jamb. An entry door requires many layers of complexity because there are so many parts and very little tolerance for mistakes. You have a Jamb, jamb stock with weather stripping, threshold, door sweep, panels, trim, hardware, hinges, and of course the door itself. hope this video helps you see what you are getting into and can better prepare you for your project! Thanks for watching and don't forget to pick up a shirt or sign up for a class!

Your jointer jig is genius. With everything you have going on in your business, are you still teaching your own classes? I'd love to take the kody3 class with you.
Yes I am! I’m actually teaching a Settee class as we speak. The class says hi!
What do you teach in your classes? Is the info available somewhere on a website? Thanks! You’re doing great with your videos. Thanks to the sponsor of the video lol
Hi class!, TURN AROUND AND PAY ATTENTION!!!!
@@a_w_bukhari7579 haha much appreciated! You can go to my website and click the link that says “classes”
@@torrencecarpentry1907 Hahahah
For whatever reason, your videos and ishitani videos make me watch them. So relaxing.
Thanks you! I’m glad to hear your enjoying the vids! We will keep them coming 😃
Yeah, trim is nice to have 😊
Let me start by saying this was an amazing video, and I am really looking forward to seeing part 2 (even a part 3...door installation?). I started watching your videos a few years ago, but I honestly found them hard to follow. There was so much start/stop going on that they seemed better suited for someone who had the attention spam of a gnat. So I hadn't watched a video for about a year. I have had building a door on my to do list and I just happened to come across this today. Like all areas in life, I could see a growth and maturity in your approach that was awesome to see. I actually learned something. I also use Sketchup when building something. But I loved your idea of taking a screenshot of the dimensions and using that. Genius. Sometimes its the little things in life. You have a new loyal subscriber
Your sponsor seems like a good guy👌
He tries to hard and his work is sub par 😆
@@WilliamDouglasCo Haha you’re too humble! I hope my skills will be as advanced as yours one day
@@joshwernli3554 I’m sure they already are!
Oof, excellent educational point about cutting the wood up and regluing to get a straight grain! This video is very professional.
Thank you for watching! Always looking to help my fellow woodworkers in any way I can
Excellent video, perhaps one of your best thus far.
Thank you !!! I love it when we get validation that we are moving in the right direction!
Great video. You put a lot into design. True craftsmanship. I love the texture detail.
Hey thank you!! I get lost in the details sometimes. Probably more than I should but I can’t help it
The other texture was cool, but damn busy for a door in my opinion. Love watching you work!
I agree. It’s too large of a panel for something that detailed
It’s Sunday night. I’m alone in my shop with my woodpeckers adj shelf pin jig bc my client wants adj can shelves in their pantry. 5” wide. Ugh. I was hoping I could have a long video to enjoy and you left me hanging. No cool . Anyways I’ll be patiently waiting on the next one I guess. And I’ll order a shirt. Thanks keep it up
Much love! Thank you for the support! Glad you are enjoying the vids
If you were to do it again, would you have bought the same CNC router? Curious, I would like to get one but can’t quite justify it. Yet…
Nice looking door. Instead of using blue painters tape on the door (so the cauls do not stick), would it be easier to cover the cauls with packing tape? I've seen Tom Johnson do this and it appears to work well, saving time and tape. Thanks for the vid. Cheers, David.
Thanks David! I only put tape in one spot on the caul just over the single glue seam. Packing tape would work well too but I don’t save cauls. I just grab whatever is laying around and do whatever is quickest for the situation.
Nice work! 👊
Thank you! Now the hard parts are next
Esta bien chingon tu trabajo compa.
Thank you!
Your definition of "easy" is very suspect, but as always, excellent video.
Haha I suppose I mean easy in the way that the simplified methods of transferring from cad to drawing makes it easy to get your cuts right the first time and not make mistakes. The work isn’t fast by any means but if you use the techniques I mention I believe the skill level can be pretty entry level to execute. Thanks for watching! 😅
Love the build video man! I hope the channel makes a few more as you’re building projects!
Also, I meant to ask on your last video about the $1,000 hand plane. Do you use the charlesworth ruler trick to sharpen plane backs? It may save you many hours apparently? Lol
Keep up the good work brother, see you in the next one!
Thanks for watching! I typically flatten and polish the backs of plane irons like a cave man apparently. I use wet stones and move up through the grits by hand
@@WilliamDouglasCo that’s also how I do them too, but with diamond stones. Rob cosman has a much better explanation of this “trick” than I do, but i thought it may save you some time 🤷♂️
you got my attention.
You’re going to enjoy our vids 😉
nice intro!
Thanks Ben!
Great video! I really want to replace my front door as well, but I have been hesitant due to our AZ weather and fears about wood movement. Any advice for someone like myself making their 1st door? Do I need to start with incredibly straight lumber or target a particular moisture content in the stock? I guess I am just a bit intimidated to start it because wood movement is the last thing you want in a door unlike most furniture. Would appreciate any tips that you have and thanks for the inspiration to start this project.
Those are great fears to have because they will keep you honest when building it. No shortcuts.
Moisture content below 8% is pretty common and easy to get. Throughout the build make sure to sticker stack everything and let it breathe. Quarter sawn material is always a positive for maintaining straight stiles and rails. Use a good exterior grade lumber or a good exterior finish to seal the door. I’ve been using Penofin recently. It’s significantly cheaper then the outdoor hard wax oil I used to use and it seems to work really well. I’ve only got about a year of experience with it but so far so good.
What type of program do you use for your design layout on your projects?
I use sketchup pro for my cad work. I use aspire for my CAM
Hey William.
I ve been getting ready to build 2 doors for my shop for a yr or so now.
I Have a bunch of beech I chainsaw milled 8 yrs ago.
I plan for 2 rails 2 styles, live edge to the middle, rabbet the inside, inlay insulated glass in for the panel, and putting square stops on the inside.
The doors are gonna be 4/0x8/0.
What’s been holding me up is figuring out all the weather stripping and threshold.
Can you link or call out what your using in your jamb and threshold in the next video?
Thanks in advance.
Chaz
Yes Chaz! I’ll do the best I can for that. Ask me any questions if I leave anything out
Just built a door. I can assure you that adding the door sweep to the assembled door is much harder…
Yeah that’s how I’ve always done it in the past. This is the first time I’ve done it before assembly. Although I will still need to cut through the stiles after glue up. If I do it after glue up then I use a slot cutter. Pretty sketchy but probably the Safeway option
Did you design your own logo with a website or did you have someone professional do it
We designed it ourselves. Paid to have it vectorized or whatever it’s called
@@WilliamDouglasCo Good to know thanks
Hey William. I'm 6'6" with a big brain. What size hoodie should I get for a not-tight fit?
Hahah if you are in between sizes order the bigger one. My friend wears L or XL depending on the brand and he wears XL with this hoodie
Is all wood not solid?
Ah I just mean It’s not veneered like most exterior doors. Most door companies refuse to make solid wood door because of movement
