We had our doberman pinscher for almost two years before our first child was born. I built a dutch door from an existing antique oak door for the nursery. It was a great addition since the top could be left open to check on and hear the baby, but restricted access for our doby. Eventually, the dog just jumped the lower half of the door and we found her curled up beside the crib protecting the baby. LOL. Later, the kids found the dutch door was great for puppet shows. The kids are in their 30's now, but the door is still going strong.
Wooden matches work pretty well too. In a few cases where the holes were really torn up I've drilled them out and glued in a dowel before re-drilling. One door was so bad I drilled 1/2" hole for each screw -- in the door frame _and_ in the jack stud -- and glued in a long piece of dowel. A new door frame probably would have been good, but it was a non-standard door size, and building a custom door frame wasn't in the budget.
Andy - I love you! You're a legend mate. Such a craftsman. You, more than any other, have inspired my woodworkung addiction. Thank you. Best wishes from Australia mate! 👌👍
I am Dutch... never new you called this a dutch door... I have one in my home and it mostly is used on farms. Not only in there house but also in the barns. It is a very usefull door.
Ive used toothpicks in holes. Its really great when you drill the hole too big you can put just enough in the hole to make it centered again and then just screw it back in
My Dad taught me the "toothpicks covered in glue" technique for plugging unwanted screw holes, which I see a couple of others have mentioned - works a treat! (I like the golf tees idea)
Thanks for making this video I'm going to attempt to do this on my school bus build for my front door. I have an old solid door to try it with. Best video on how to make one btw.
You should talk to the wood whisperer about doing a series on making doors like this to sell on his guild. I would buy plans/instructional videos on how to do this.
Nothing wrong with breaking off shims in the hinge holes if you have no holes left to adjust. I install doors and windows in Southern Ontario, and typically install 2 of the 4 screws until I'm happy with the fit, and then screw the rest. Door looks great, especially the color! ;)
Another awesome build Andy! 👍🏻 I’m with you on painting...not my thing either! 😁 Thanks for sharing and hope you and your family have a safe and nice Thanksgiving!
I see you have cloth back belts for the wide belt. You should look into a paper back for the last pass for paint and stain. Paper is a more even backer material and get fewer scratch marks. Cloth is great because it does not rip as easily when you take it on and off, but it is beneficial to end with paper. Make sure the splice is thinner than the paper with a caliper. I learned this from a sander tech that has been working on Timesavers sanders for well over 30 years.
Hey thanks for the advice...I'll give it a try. The widebelt is a big timesaver but can also be a huge headache as well. It consistently gives me issues with snipe...I'm still trying to figure out how to manage that.
Plus, squaring introduces stress points where cracks can start. Half the doors with split wood i see have squared mortise and tenons. A little torque here, a slam there, easy to start one.
Andy what type of wood did you use? And if I wanted to make a door who has plans u recommend? Hopefully you hv plans I can buy? Anyway you are a great carpenter enjoy your channel!
Awesome door! I sell doors and windows for a living so a sweet custom Dutch Door is something I can really appreciate. Not sure where you ordered your glass from, but it only takes us about a week maybe 10 days max to get a tempered insulated glass unit made as long as the glass is one our supplier stocks.
Hi Andy -- wondering where you purchased that sliding T-square for layout (0:24)? I saw it in a japanese video but haven't been able to find it in North America for sale. Cheers!
@@AndyRawls I had the same question. Would love to see a video of that process. How do you decide which stiles / rails are lumbercore & which are solid? Just by length? Why not make all the stiles & rails out of it? I assume it's much more inert than solid wood?
I usually fill the holes with glue, shove in the wood (toothpicks usually) and break it off, then just screw in the screws without drilling. I reckon I rely on never taking the screws back out. Your way is better.
It looks like it might be a T-Type Caliper of sorts. Kinda like this one maybe: www.ebay.com/itm/T-Type-Marking-Vernier-Caliper-with-Fine-Adjustment-0-7-inches-Imperial-Standard/283611789750 I totally knew nothing about T-Type calipers until clicking Andy's link below. haha Lisa is going to be jealous when she sees this door. @Rafel - Did you get one? Thoughts? How would you use it?
hey Andy quick question on a Stanley plane i came across and cant find anything on it is a fairly large plane would say close to a foot long give or take seems to be fairly old and the only numbers i can find on it is a 3 and a 8 in this fashion 3|8 with this plane was also an older looking unlabeled smaller palm type plane and Stanley bailey NO. 5 1/4 plane i would say the say the two Stanley planes look about the same age but i would think they would both be Stanley bailey right? dont have much woodworking tool knowledge so any help would be appreciated, Thanks
You can simply take a drill, and then shove a wood rivet you carve with a pocket knife. Best solution, extra step, add glue, but that's extra cause once the screw bites, it ain't moving.
Nice job might I add however you always glaze from the outside. Your glazing beads (or putty) if it's single glazed always goes on the outside. It would have been nice to see the door with a rebated (rabbited) tennon with wedges because it really is that much stronger. Plus especially with an external door wood can move that much more as opposed to inside furniture. Hopefully the rails won't sheer off from the styles. I first trained as a furniture maker and now work as a joiner, it's slight differences from above that make all the difference. Having tenons like that is absolutely fine in inside furniture however you may have problems in external use.
I don't know what size your rabbet is but I usually use a 14 x 18 mm glazing bead then sand it down to about 13.5 mm so the bead sits just below the rabbet when painted (and after the glass is installed). The bead gets a 55 degree angle which matches what putty would look like if it was on the door/ window sash leaving 2mm flats on each edge so there isn't a massive hard edge for the paint. and the beads are mitered in.
By the way Andy? The noise is music to a real mans ears! Kids are a gift from God and you can learn so much from those munchkins ! I raised 5 and now I am alone? And well I love being a carpenter ; finish Contractor and staying busy at 60! But as far as noise? I play my I-phone most the time just to hear the noise:) I need it, I have a big custom built home (my dad built it he built custom homes as a Contractor. Also just FYI? I am a Nor California native. I don’t know anything bout Southern Calif or our nutty governor or the lib’s who run it? I live in the middle of farming country. River is out my back side of house can throw a rock & hit it? Hunt turkey, ducks, deer, ect .,. All 10 min from my house? Mountains are 1 1/2 hour away and snows deep by mid dec? Now u got me beat on taxes and few others things? Anyway your a good daddy I can tell enjoy those “Youngins” as my grandma used to say:)
Back in the old days they were used on farms, in the summertime you can open the top part to ventilate but keep the bottempart closed to keep the farmanimals out (and/or children inside).

Great video, something really wholesome about seeing a dad with his kids. My wife and I are expecting our first child in January, can't wait!
Such quality millwork deserved mortised locks. There is very little left in the upper sash stile after boring a 2 1/8" hole. Makes me nervous

lol same. To me these are just doors.
We call them dutch but I think they originated in Germany. I could be wrong on that, but I seem to recall seeing that on a This Old House episode.
@@parkwayconcepts8758 We have these doors in The Netherlands I have one my self. Mostly they are on farms
In South Africa we call them stable doors
@@jacquemaher1589 We call the dubble door a farmers door. But not Dutch door... cause we are dutch 😄😄
Ive used toothpicks in holes. Its really great when you drill the hole too big you can put just enough in the hole to make it centered again and then just screw it back in
These doors are such great classics. Love em. Thanks a bunch Andy !
Great door for Trick-or-Treaters. Keep the bottom closed and hand out candy over the top.
Thanks for sharing. I have never made a door and will be building a dutch door for my first one.

Golf tees, bamboo skewers, toothpicks, they all work great!
thanks Andy, love the door turned out wonderful.
Beautiful door. Would have loved to have one of the divided doors when my kids were small.

Very very nice door !!! And very well made,as always !!!
Awesome awesom build man. Looks so great
looks great. THanks for sharing.
Happy thanksgiving. Thanks for the good content. I’ve learned a lot from you.
Awesome job HAPPY THANKSGIVING 🦃🍽🍁
Amazing work
April spits the glue tip out too. Must be a Texas thing!

The door look great
I plan on making one as well, got some great tips from you, thanks for sharing.

Awesome project! I wouldn't call it secure by any means, haha, but its beautiful!
Nice door, Andy! What kind of wood did you use to build your styles and rails? I need a dutch door on my hall to contain my 7 children ;)
when i was a kid this was the door to the church nursery, so parents could pick up their toddlers without all the other little ones running out.
Hi Andy 👍
We call this style of door stable doors here in South Africa
Bonjour se très bon travail
I drill out the old hinge screw holes and plug it with dowels

Who dislikes a video like this?
Monsters, that's who.

Did you make the laminated material for the stiles or buy it?
Same question...
Which router bit are you using for those mortises? The bits I have can only go about 1-1/2" deep, but yours looks like more?
Hi Andy -- wondering where you purchased that sliding T-square for layout (0:24)? I saw it in a japanese video but haven't been able to find it in North America for sale. Cheers!
Great door, Andy. Are you going to install some kind of latch to allow both halves of the door to open as one if desired?
Thanks and yes I actually bought a latch for it but didn't like how it looked . It think I'll makes something out of wood instead.
great video thanks for the tips, hey what is the name of the t-square you use at the beginning, or where can I buy it?
Did you source that lumbercore stile material from a millwork supplier or make it yourself,? Looks great and I love the hardware !
No I laid it up myself

I use a 4 degree bevel. One degree is not enough. Might as well be square.
I notice your styles are laminated and for the life of me I can't remember the name of that technique. Lots of extra work but worth it.
I’ve always called those pieces he put in the screws holes wood nails. If there’s a better way I’d love to know.

Back in the old days they were used on farms, in the summertime you can open the top part to ventilate but keep the bottempart closed to keep the farmanimals out (and/or children inside).
