I came to this channel for the awesome woodworking….but was rewarded with the wonderful cat cameos!! I had two furballs that followed us everywhere and did everything with us too…woodworking, gardening, riding in homemade cardboard contraptions with the kids, helping them with the obstacle course….such great memories. These two probably have better woodworking skills than many of us (LOL). That was an amazing design, the only thing missing is the feline retinal scanner to open allow them entrance!! Looking forward to the rest of the build.
Thanks mate! These furballs definitely love their shop time and to be involved in EVERYTHING 😹. And I wouldn't have it any other way. Thanks so much for watching and the comment!
it’s obvious how much you love your little rascals, what a lovely project and the cat door is absolutely lovely! i’m admittedly amazed that you bothered to go back into the drywall for the wiring, i would’ve just run some straight trunking and called it a day (also for easy access). but i suppose i shouldn’t be surprised considering the attention to detail and level of care you put into all your projects 😆
Thanks Keith for another work of art. I always learn something from you. Thanks for taking the time to document this and share it. Looking forward to the continuation of the studio.
Ohhh man you've got lucky those two royalty fury friends like their door, cool tech, indeed, can't wait what else you will do to your studio, cheers V!
That glass is pretty cool. And the rest of the door looks pretty great too. I heard you talking about it on the pod cast, glad i finally got around to watching it.
Keith, another great video!! I would love to hear the behind the scenes when you said to your wife "I think I am going to make a $1000 door with an over the top cat door"
Thanks so much! I was very inspired by a recent visit to the Wharton Esherick house museum and the light fixtures he created, so I have an idea in my head!
Since you don't do too much paint-grade stuff, you should look at Bourbon Moth's tip on pin nailing (or at least that's where I learned it from)! Take some blue tape and pin through it, apply wood putty/filler, and then remove the blue tape afterwards. It removes the step of having to clean up the excess putty/filler and risk taking off those nice edges! Love the door!
I can’t wait for the rest of your much deserved office! Love the kitty door, I have two dogs and one in particular doesn’t fear the sound of tools and even tries to be “helpful” so anyways I appreciate the role Lola and Jerry play in your work and videos!
@@jewdd1989 Thanks very much! It will be great to have a much more dedicated space than currently being in our master closet now. Wait until you see that setup! LOL.
😹 the cat door is definitely the highlight of this build! I can’t wait to see them marching in and out of it and climbing up their soon to be made “cat wall”. Thanks again for the awesome artwork! 🙌🏻
Another great project! Always brings me a smile to see you a new video from you on my feed. Although you two are completely different on the way and style that you make videos, i think of you as ThisOldTony for woodworking (or him a Keith Johnson for metalworking/milling). Whenever i see a video from both of you, i get in a incredbily good mood! keep 'em coming!
I really like the hinges at the cat door. Seems to be a pain in the a** to install them properly, but the result is beautiful. It's one of these details that you can only really apprecciate, if you built them yourself at least once. (Please excuse my bad english)
With so much exposure to the elements and being subject to seasonal wood movement, a fully integrated mortise and tenon would be best for overall strength and longevity 💪🏻
What can I say about this? Love your attention to detail, how you tend to slightly over engineer your designs but with great finesse that makes other folks green with jealousy. And last but not least, the cats are great fun, too. I love their confidence and indifference. You've got a great thing going on there, keep it up!
For the glue up sliding problem: use a small amount of washed, coarse sand. It will prevent the wood from sliding and will not mess up the chemical prozess of the glue itself.
@@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking Than I'm doing something wrong, as it works just fine for me. Ofcourse you can't just clamp two pieces together like a barbarian milking an ogre, but since I use small pinches of sand (~1.5-2mm grain size), I have no movements, or slidings during glue ups.
Love the practical communication use of the privacy glass! Also love the music, but can't find the title of the specific tune. Do you mind sharing what it is?
hey Keith, another great video and great project. One question -- @ 18:00 you glue the thin walnut pieces to each other -- a small end-grain glue up. I saw that and thought wow is that going to have enough holding strength? I've found that when I've done some end grain glue ups, like for a picture frame with mitered corners, once I start sanding or introducing any stress or vibration the glue joints sometimes separate. And later in the video you ended up reducing that trim piece down to like 1/16th so again I saw that and was terrified the whole assembly would just break apart at the glue joints. Glad that didn't happen though. Is the secret to use a dab of CA glue like you did? or would even just using regular glue hold well enough? oh, and second question -- how do you like your Harvey DC? I've been looking at them and love all their features and innovative design, but I can't get past the terrible placement of the main inlet. Seems like it makes setting up any ductwork, or placement of the machine itself, very awkward. Would love to hear your impressions. Thanks!
Sometimes with end grain glue-ups, the grain soaks up the glue and you end up starving the joint, so you can size the joint with a "wash" of 50/50 water to glue and then apply more glue. With harder woods like oak and walnut, that is not as much of an issue. A big factor is also giving the joint sufficient time to dry before moving it. Since these arched frames weren't going to be under any stress and were being attached flat onto another surface there is no real danger of those joints separating. And I only use CA glue to get the quick grab - I don't recommend it for long term end grain glue-ups because it can be fragile.
@@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking Thanks Keith -- and any thoughts on my second question? Impressions and likes / dislikes about your Harvey G700 dust collector?
As a rule, when I see a 37 min long video about a closet door, I usually skip it - unless it's a 37 min long video about a closet door by Keith Johnson. In that case, I click on it immediately.
The job of a studio door is mainly to be as soundproof as possible, which means airtight, and probably an 'airlock' with a second door. That window might be nice in a glass porch, though... especially with a hot tub.
I use the word "studio door" loosely as I'm currently recording in another closet right now and it all sounds great (the voice over for this video, for example). I'm not recording a studio album, so I'll be good!
Another great video! What vid bits do you use, or do you not care too much about those and just get whatever you find? I love Jerry and Lola’s cameos in the videos. They’re adorable! I sent a few screen shots of them to my wife in the last few days.
Thanks!And definitely NOT just any bits - cheap router bits are cheap for a reason. Go to bitsbits.com/product-category/whiteside-router-bits/ and use code MORSELS15 at checkout to save 15% on all their amazing router bits.
@@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking do you like their vix bits too? That was the main question from my original comment but I didn’t catch that iOS autocorrected ‘vix’ to ‘vid!’ Definitely done with buying “cheap” router bits! Would love a video that goes over what your most used/recommended bits are and what would be good for building out your collection! A round table would be awesome format for this too!
As they once said on Buffy, sometimes "Overkill is the right amount of kill." Plus it's always nice to have a door that could survive a nuclear bomb... after all, you've got cats :D
Wondering about your thoughts of doing the whole door out of MDF instead of just the panel. I’m planning on doing something similar but since it’s an interior painted soon with thinking solid MDF would paint nicely and be super stable.
It's just never my first choice of material to work with because it's so heavy, messy and fine dust is toxic. And the MDF doesn't have good holding power for screws.
When there's no contact, it automatically becomes glazed? I wonder if it exists the other way around? So if I put it on windows and there's an issue, I'm not stuck with a glazed window
Correct. It needs power to be able to go clear. So, when the door is open and the contact switch isn't engaged, it's frosted. That's a good question about windows...my guess is if the power goes out, you would have a house full of frosted windows. Unless you install some kind of battery backup.
I like it!!! What a grand conception... even if your wife has exiled you to the closet. 😉 I have some uses for these pizo-electric films, so I will definitely check out your source. Thanks for the reference!. Also, thanks much for the cost breakdown. Just one question... is it still going to b e used for a closet, partially, or are you also going to stick 'egg-crate' on the walls for it to also be a 'recording studio', or for podcasting? Just curious about the build-out. Keep up the great work!!
The closet isn't so bad, actually! Not sure about soundproofing on the walls just yet...the mic I use is very good at reducing any echo, so once everything is set up and tested I will decide if anything needs to be done. Office buildout video coming soon!
I may have missed it in the video but is the film "normally opaque" or "normally transparent"? In other words if the power goes out while I am changing, does everyone suddenly get more than they paid for?
Next time you apply foil to glass, use a generous amount of soapy water between the film and the glass. You can easily adjust the film if placed incorrectly and all the water is just squeejeed out. Easy peasy.
FANTASTIC work, Keith! Really well done!!! 😃 Really interesting technology indeed!!! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊 BTW, I just realized that my father trained one of our cats for belly rubs... WTH! 😳
Is there any concern that it might not meet fire regulations? I was thinking of making a door for myself (like yours except way more boring: no glorious holes for privacy glass or for a cat door) then I heard that it would not meet local fire regulations.
I’m not going to pretend I know anything about fire regulations, But I can tell you the only fire rated doors in my house are ones leading to the exterior or garage. All the other garbage MDF core doors in rooms and closets with 2 inch gaps at the floor couldn’t stop a heavy sneeze 😂
I can't give you a good answer to that question...all depends what kind of work you do. It's an extremely versatile and precise tool, I can tell you that.
As a cat person, I approve of this build.
😹 Glad you approve!
It was nice of the cats to allow you to install a human door over theirs....
😹😂 They are very considerate, aren’t they?
So generous of Jerry and Lola to let you upload videos to their channel!
They don't do anything for free. 😹

I’m not going to pretend I know anything about fire regulations, But I can tell you the only fire rated doors in my house are ones leading to the exterior or garage. All the other garbage MDF core doors in rooms and closets with 2 inch gaps at the floor couldn’t stop a heavy sneeze 😂
Hey Keith do you think the Panto Router is really worth the price
I can't give you a good answer to that question...all depends what kind of work you do. It's an extremely versatile and precise tool, I can tell you that.
Benjamin More... Yeah baby.
Amen to that! 😂
Great build. The electronic screen may be niche.. May be using ODL mini blinds (which have aluminum blinds inside glass panes) may be easier option
But not as cool! 😜
U the best 🎉
Thanks a lot!
Might need some air circulation, if it’s a small room with a big computer it’s going to get v stuffy in there 😅
Luckily, there’s an AC vent above my head, so it’s like a meat locker in there! 🥶
