One bit of advice from someone 30+ years in the trade. I dont wear my rig when 2nd fixing as its too bulky and you can easily mark walls, the door when carrying. I just use my pouches on my trousers and stay light.
correct
Yep. I don't even wear it fitting kitchens. Cost me way too much once. Bit of carpet on the floor and all your gears laid out nice.... Untill it gets messed up and you can't find your pilot bit 🤣 ahhhh mag trays, also a good thing 👍
I have been a joiner for 42yrs I feel undressed without my belt etc I get that it can mark the maternity I couldn't start without it
Great work.
Tip if you don't mind me saying.
To measure point to point.
Measure out 100mm. Pencil mark.
Measure to pencil mark plus the 100mm will get you the exact distance to the exact mm vs bending tape in the corner. Can't read a bent tape jammed in corners very well.
Something I learnt some time ago.😀
thankyou mate i appreciate it
I like this tip!
Great tip for accuracy 👍
always a pleasure to watch a proper tradesman do things properly
Glad u showed your old door...just shows how far u have come..well done.
I really admire your honesty, and I think that you do a fantastic job. I’m just at DIYer and learning so much just from RUclips and trial and error. Keep up the good work mate.
Another banging video man, Love your content!
Exellent job sir
Love this. You’ve gone a long way from your apprenticeship days. A craftsman at his finest
Thanks for sharing, don’t pay any attention to those guys who think they know it all, I can tell that you love your job 👍🔨📐😄
Nice work bud!
Im happy to employ an apprentice (with cscs) in Oxford... Fitting fire doors and oak skirtings with the occasional first fixing all for the university. A chance to be a fire door fitters apprentice and learn on the job
Great job buddy, good tool kit to, well done
Well done you nice job
NICE WORK
That tool belt is Fecking massive........
Great video again well done 👍
Carpenter of 40yrs, couldnt fault it, job well done, very efficient and clean up too.
a tip i’ve recently figured out is to trim round the hindge/latch plate with a stanley before chiselling it out, helps not split the frame and get a nice perfect edge
He did do this !
That’s actually a fair point thanks if it’s something you enjoy and want to achieve do it that’s what I’m doing I want to be a carpenter and I’m doing my apprenticeship in it and I’m enjoying it more when I’m learning more but I’m keen and willing
Good work
You should always plane the leading edge.
I rely on a couple of pre tape measure methods when fitting doors or anything into a bay/aperture where a tight fit is required.
First is to transfer your measurements by using a rod. ie a suitable length of timber to transfer cutting marks from a to b ,, perfect for hinges. (Introduce a shim on the frame)
The second is a width ‘gauge’ which is simply 2 square ended rods both 2 feet long held together on their sides slid out to meet the jambs and marked with your pencil at any point. Very accurate.
great video mate
Good work bud👍🎯💯
Great content
Good job, got a sub here for the well thought out video
Don’t think I have ever seen anyone carrying so many tools around his waist for such a small job. Cmon man.
Great vid
Great video!! thanks
thankyou for the kind words
Keep up the work bro
Thankyouu will do
a couple of tips i have found after many years experience, 50,first thing i do is patch the existing keep then you have fresh timber to chop into and take the screws ,use 100mm hinges and they will cover the existing75 mm hinge and give you fresh holes to take screws,use masking tape on the inside face of the doors(NO PENCIL MARKS TO RUB OFF) and never stand cordless dills on the battery at some point they get pushed over and chip laminate flooring this happened on my brothers house after laying new floor and after i told him not to stand the drill on its end,hope this is helpful
thankyou i appreciate all tips
Take note . Some sound advice given there
If you can find a larger keep than the existing so you can lose the old one completely.
If you use a 4" hinge on an internal door it leaves you with about 3mm left of timber behind the hinge?You dont use 4" hinges on internal doors
@@nealpalmer2807 you can get 4" butt hinges with a 28mm leaf, leaving you 7mm on a 35mm door
When i do more than one door into new frames i use a staff to mark my hinges on doors and frames it makes everyone of them the same quicker and easyer
Nice job 👍
Nice job.
I'd add in to first check that the frames are plumb, especially the hinge side. If the hinge side is off-plumb the door will swing either close or open by itself and no doubt when the new door is hung and also does that, the home owner will no doubt tell you the old door never did that🙄🙄
Good work fellow carpentry brother 👍
Belter video joy to watch
Top job made simple …
thankyou matey
Maans got more pockets and compartments than a sas solider!! Feel like I can't move watching the video 😂
👍👍👍Thank you
Practice makes perfect.
Make sure the hinge side is straight and the head is square then plane the closing edge in situe.
If it wasn't would you mess with the frame or plane the door to suit, if it wasn't you that fitted the frame?
You are my favourite carpenter apart from my dad
I’ve just stumbled across this channel. Love it. I was a carpenter for almost 30 years before becoming a locksmith so I enjoy these types of videos.
You do a good job and can tell you enjoy it along with the apprentice 😁And your subscriber count is great……another one here 🙋🏻♂️
I do think that you’re selling yourself a bit cheap with door hanging though? I used to charge £80 labour per standard internal door but you charge what you feel comfortable 😁
thankyou mate really appreciate it , everytime i up my price people go elsewhere maybe the area i’m working in 😕
@@ttdowgcarpentry2390 mate, you need to be happy/comfortable with your pricing, and like you say area makes a big difference.
I’ve just seen that you also did a 2 day locksmith course 😁 It’s the way forward buddy 😁👍🏼
Yeah £65 does seem very cheap, but peices are area dependent, move to london 😂
So I’ve been a joiner nearly 20 year. Just a few tips take them or not but I always like to help ppl. Everyone has there own ways which I respect. 1 don’t ever Bend your tape into openings always measure across the face. Couldn’t tell if you were using a hinge jog with your router but there a life saver especially with hardwood doors. Also oak doors like that are veneered so putting a chisel under it s risky purchase yourself a pair in Winn airbags to lift your door when marking height. But overall your work is neat 👍🏻 not that you need my approval.
Perfect job. If i were that tool belt the whole time id be dead in a couple hours
Nice one buddy frames didn’t look that good well done⭐️👍⭐️👏👏
Top work, craftsmen recognise craftsmen. Listen to the advice, ignore the hate.
Hoodie on, black and yellow Dewalt ... classic Wu Tang.. u b tha wood whizzaa
Look at getting some winbags so you don't damage a veneer or oak doors with chisels or crowbars to prop the door up. They're so much better. Just a heads up 👍🏻
thanks mate i’ll look this up
Hate it when doors open up in to open space should always open agains a wall I had my light switches moves
@@aaronbell8527 i agree but that the way he wanted
@@aaronbell8527 it’s funny how we think differently. I like my doors hanging that way particularly in bedroom’s where there are designed to give some modesty.
Old fashioned way was to always cloak the room. Similar theme, light pendants always used to be closer to the window rather than central. Reason being to avoid shadows on the curtains particularly in bedrooms
Hanging side first, clapping side next, then fit head,offer door up and mark hinges, remember to put a leading edge on the clapping side,take of all arris's around the edges and ensure handles are level.....they don't stick then when you pull the handle down (I saw you)😄😄😄
Mate i love those dewalt tough tools how are they holding up
Did you sort that handle where it was sticking?
Good stuff mate, I always used to use a marking guage to scribe mark out the edges of hinges and latches for my chisel cuts to help stop wood splitting, is that too old school these days?
Im not a carpenter but ive hung a lot of doors.
I might be telling you how to suck eggs here so take no notice if i am lol
On doors with a pattern that will make it obvios is the doors slanted i check the frame first with a spirit level.. Hard to explain but a door can look like it fits but the frames slanted both sides so the door pattern messes with your eyes.
By checking with a level you know which side needs an angle planing into it.
And my other tip... Take the door outside to do the latch.. Clamp a piece of wood either side when you chisel the outline and drill the hole... Learned that 1 the hard way when i drilled an oak veneer early on with an auger bit and it split the dam door.
Other than that.. If it fits properly with a nice even gap the route you took to get there worked.
👍
Good on you for asking permission to film 👍
Good trades fella this guy… z
I think that’s a very reasonable price considering cost of tools van insurance tax etc. Could be a bit on the cheap side.
8.05 handle sticks
Usually because the mortice isn't drilled straight.
To tight in latch hole or handle screws to tight I find
Many reasons as stated
I’m learning more from your videos than I am from my employer
Looks like a bever chewed them hinges out 😂😂
Hi mate, I've got a bit of advise from a much older chipie. Ditch the pouch and hammer loop. I know it is very handy to have everything to hand, but in later life you'll regret it. Or at least have a smaller pick on the opposite side to your hammer. Trust me.
You need to get some airbags they help fitting doors. Get a pair so you can level the door easily. Also l9ve your honesty. Keep it up.
Does he need too though? Had them don't rate them 🤷♂️ sooooo
@@danlee1029 I have the hedgehog ones and find them so helpful
sony out a leading edge o you doors?
Hi mate, just wanted to say i love your videos. They are really inspiring for me personally as i am 19 right now and just about to finish my first year level 1 carpentry & joinery course at college. i want to be self employed doing similar stuff to yourself in the coming years. I was wondering what your advice would be for me. Should i do level 2 at college, try to do an apprenticeship or my tutor has recommended t levels, what are your thoughts?.
The best way to do any trade is getting first hand experience on jobs asap you’ll Learn quicker and the tricks they won’t show in college try get on a nvq level 2 if you can, good luck
@@J4D97 thanks for the advice 👍
Nice job 👍🏻 can I please ask as a DIYer, if you didn’t mind patching up the frame could the second door have been reversed to open against the wall rather than the sofa?
Yes
Dark art is fitting doors you are skilled.
Tried a few times to fit new doors in my house, total failure!
love this comment 🤩 , practice makes better all the time
All the same kit as me 👍and the same £/door!!
I've got the adjustable face plate jig as well though, if you've got a few to do it doesn't half make life easier once set up.
100%
I did carpentry for many years and would take me all day to do this, lol.
What are do you cover ? We have a house full of doors need hanging (cambs)
Area
I rate this.. do u fit commercial fire doors?
yeah i do
If door is too wide do you remove all excess from one side??. Great video
no, try and share if possible
never seen a ninja chippy at it . think yu may have gone a tad overboard with the toolbelt.howdya move?
Good fair price worth the money but could have done it myself in only two days 👻🤪
recording also takes up an extra hr 😮💨🥲
did you chip the door at the latch side? Also on frame?
or were chips on frame already there? The door does seem to have chips on latch side though
@@akfisher7138 i didn’t notice any chips on door maybe pencil mark but on one of the frames it did chip as i was taking out the latch because the frame was already split a little bit so i did have to fill this
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Is it a solid wood 4 panel door?
yeah
Remember doing these kind of jobs at your age with a Yankee and brace and bits.
Wrong size latch on oak doors not in centre. Take it client bought them.
Why not have them open to the wall. That way prevents binding the hinges on the frame.
They’d have to move the light switch.
Sounds good money but those power tools soon eat in to that I bet
Did the house owner pay or buy the materials or you bought them with the £130 you made?
💥💥💥💥
Great video mate. Really enjoyed it 👍☺️
thankyou matey i really appreciate it
So did you change the door you did when you were an apprentice?
yep i charged like £20 per door when i was first starting
What age did you start your apprenticeship mate?
i started late i started at 18yrs old
name of song
How the heck do you work with that belt on !!😂😂
How much of that 130 do you keep?
Tax, insurance, Van. Do you reckon half goes in your pocket?
I couldn't work with a tool belt ,never mind one like in the video .
Mucho dooro.
130 sounds cheap to me. I was expecting a bit more than that.
Bet made more from the vid
that’s true
you butchered the cut outs for the lock a bit, initially you should invert them and then fix them to the door/frame with the 2 screws, then, either use a stanley knife to mark outline, or get a chisel and market outline close to the lock. Once you got your outline, remove lock, and carry on chiseling it out.
I always fix the lock to the door first, then outline it with chisel, its way more accurate than a pencil. Yea it takes longer, but its worth it. Same with hinges, screw them on first, then use chisel to make outline of the hinge, remove hinge, then chisel out.
65 quid a door seems cheap to me would of been ok if you had more to do. Would of wanted a day’s money myself.. good work tho 👍
Great job , if I was you I would reduce that tool pouch of yours , you have to move light or in time that sort of pouch will destroy your back 👍
Top quality workmanship, how ever VERY disappointed with the speed of the video, far to rapid to follow.
Stopped wearing a heavy tool belt years go
Great job but to fiddly for me
A wooden mallet is the correct tool to use with any chisel never a hammer. Allso never have I seen in my 46 years of been a cabinet maker a man with so many tools on his belt most never used even batman never carried so many tools on his belt.
A wooden mallet with modern chisels 😂😂 piss off grandad.
i felt comfortable with it on 😅
3hrs to fit the doors. Is £43ph sounds good.
Half an hour to drive to supplier to get doors, half an hour picking them up loading and paying, half an hour driving to customers and u loading, half an hour to get set up ready to hang doors, plus 3hours to fit doors and half an hour to pack away and half an hour to get home. Plus half an hour for a cup of tea or 2 with customer, plus half an hour chit chat with customer.
Grand total of 7hrs ~£130/7 =£18.50ph
Minus some diesel minus a bit of tax, we’re down to below £15ph.
I’m not snubbing you. I’m a joiner it’s hard work. Customers only seem to take into account the time spent on there property, but the bigger picture is you Probly spend more time working for the customer off site.
Good luck to ya!

fun fact i used to go same gym with him ☺️
Why do you use a combi on all the screws. So easy to round them off with a combi drill.
not if you pilot holes first
Pre drilling and a combi with a clutch is much safer on screw heads than just wanging them in with an impact driver, especially if working with soft brass or stainless steel screws...
I prefer to use the snappy centre pilot bit in an impact. Perfect everytime and no risk of destroying a screw
I'd use a Yankee ratchet driver 👍
