- Westerly homeowners Scott and Shayla have asked for solid heavy doors throughout the house. Kevin O'Connor travels to Ohio and meets a family that has been making doors and other interior woodwork for three generations.

Kevin O'Connor goes to Canfield, Ohio to see how the wooden four-paneled interior doors are made. He first meets Terry Baird, whose family has owned this business for over fifty years making hardwood accent products that are both custom and standard. Manager Steve Stack shows Kevin the process-from grading the lumber and drying it-to the manufacturing and assembly stages. The leftover sawdust is burned in a boiler to heat the dry kilns and buildings.

How Doors Are Assembled | This Old House

That's a helluva production line! Amazing!!!
The best part was not seeing a finished door lol
U can c it at the store when u buy it..
It looks like a door.
other than some trimming basically a finished product at 5:43.
“Blades bein’ right there?” I love Kevin. He’s the new guy at work who doesn’t hesitate to help out and get his hands dirty, but if you don’t watch him he’ll stick his hand in a band saw. I know it’s off, but dude, get your hands out of the machine. I feel like the manager hesitated and he doesn’t cross the plane with his hands.
I’ve been really enjoying the factory tours!
I have a Finger Joint Bit for my Router........2x4 cutoffs and a few pennies worth of glue and you have 2x4's that are plenty good for interior walls.
What a amazing process and facility.
I bid on some machines when McPhillips Door and Window went under after the '08 banking debacle. Went down to Mobile to rig those heavy machines and saw the plant and talked to Mr. McPhillips - it was fascinating.
They made HUGE custom doors mostly for churches, mansions, etc.. I mean doors that cost $10-20k per set made from exotic hardwoods.
I love how they try to make everything as efficient as possible.
@0:31 he said steve
I like how they produce heat and steam out of the non-usable waste for their drying kilns and other buildings. Very smart.
The scanner that is similar to an MRI to tag defects in wood is very impressive, along with the machine that removes them. There is very little waste of materials in this factory, from reuse by machining (cutting groves finger joints) gluing short lengths to form longer pieces.
Amazing work. Love how they reuse the off cuts.
I’ve been looking for white oak, preferably quartersawn doors to install in my house. About every 3 months, I do a google search of companies that make them, and Baird always comes up, along with Allegany and 1-2 others I need at least 20 doors, and preferably 28 doors, but am not willing to spend $700-$800 per door. I’m selling my house in 6 years, so in that time, I’ll have to find a local carpenter that knows what he’s doing, and supply the wood for him to build them. I’m in the hardwood flooring business and know several people with mills.
Dean DeCoursey, Nobody will care you dumped a ton of money into the doors, leave them and sell it, I know it's an opinion....
I bought the house “as is,” which means there were 4 doors missing. So I have to buy at least 4 doors. I have rosewood parquet floors bordered with select white oak flooring throughout the house, so I may buy rosewood doors in Thailand, where I lived and still have connections, and have them shipped here. I can probably do that for $250-$300 per door.

I was about to comment on a carpenter costing as much ir more than the purchase from the big companies then I saw where you live.
Next to slave wages will always being down costs unless you're Apple.
William Smith One of the problems that I have with these companies, besides the price, are the complaints about their doors warping. I think importing rosewood doors from Thailand, which I’ve done in the past for the purpose of selling, is probably my best option. With building white oak doors myself a close second.
@@deandecoursey7721
Side rails are sandwiched, even these warp ?
I am thinking of buying solid wood doors.
That's amazing. So much automated, yet assembly of the door is manual
Quite. In many factories it’s all full automated. I’ve seen this on “How It’s Made”
who doesn't love this show i wish they can reply to us #ASKTHISOLDHOUSE
Nice Information Sir.......love from India
Beautiful work. Wasn't gonna click, but glad that I did. That is an awesome operation and wishing good luck to the Baird family and their extended family of employees.
Now that is efficient! I've dreamed of having a shop (or plant) like this
Great tour wonder what’s the cost per standard door?
This is right in my neck of the woods
This NEW OLD House
Thanks Very Interesting
These videos are awesome
WOW
Amazing automation yet still requires the hands on.
Awesome.
Beautiful
This is absolutely 💯 👌 🔥 🙌 👏 😍
Beautiful stuff
I worked at a factory that made doors. We did most of it by hand, not automated.
Good one
All of that and you don’t show the finished product.
I really wanted to see how the door parts are held together! I had some 70 year old doors, same style and construction, and everything was held together with wood pegs and glue.
FYI. When you referenced their natural gas wells, you actually showed an oil well jack.
Good stuff!
The guy thats gonna hang those doors is gonna really hate it
I hand it to engineers. They have created so much efficiency that people have lost purpose to hands on work. Cudos.
It everything was still hand made nobody would be able to afford it. :(
If everything was handmade, you'd either be walking to work, or riding a buggy/horse, to your Amish workshop. Live your dream (but don't expect them to give you the WiFi password...).
Hey Kev it's been a ples. Lol
i can smell this video
Nice!!💪👏👏🍺🍺
10 mins from my house
20 minutes from my house,been their for poplar trim.
Imagine if governments ran like this plant where nothing went to waist.
Great video. Now show a true craftsman who doesn't use vaneer and does it with hand tools only. You won't need ear protection. And you won't need sawdust collection system is s/he uses hand planes
I think they have Roger editing these videos.
This guy talks like HE invented these machines!!
The machines are most likely German. And that’s hard for me to say since I’m from the UK 🇬🇧 😂
“It’s an MRI for wood”
no, no it isn’t. It’s nothing like an MRI..... 🙄
he was not meaning in the same sense as a real MRI, geees
zack9912000 yes, I understand that 🙄
my point is the analogy is ridiculous. Far better to be honest and explain the machine simply automatically uses a camera to check for VISIBLE knots, not INVISIBLE defects that an MRI is used to detect.
He overplayed its capabilities and confused the audience wilfully. Why? Just be honest.
RIP Tom
BigSpinification what happened to Tommy ?
@@benjaminrobinson3466 Nothing--Tom Silva is fine. This bot continually makes this post (doubt it's a real person).
Here you can see just another reason why American homes are as soundproof as paper.
I don't get it. What's the reason? Doors that aren't 3 inches thick?
Clearly this the the ONLY option for doors that people have when they build a home... lol
@@jej3451 No soundproofing, single layer, no rabbets, no rubber seals, ...
@@julianreverse None of that significantly affects sound transmission. The only thing that blocks sound is mass.
@@jej3451 Wrong. Mass is just one of many ways.
How can they use natural gas doesnt it hurt the envirment
no
Its one of the cleanest fuels out there. The boom in natural gas is a big reason America is heavily cutting down on emissions.
Half the globe runs off natural gas. One factory more or less isn’t going to change anything.
What should they use ?
First
Vote Democratic, so great companies like this one can be destroyed.
nah. how "rich peoples doors are assembled".
Why not make sure that you are truly saved by Jesus Christ and practice this way. Remorsefully confess with your heart your sins to Jesus Christ who is God and tell Him that you right now are repenting of your sins and you want to be born again of the Spirit from above. Tell Jesus that you are remorsefully sorry for breaking His commandments and that you are begging for forgiveness from Him. Allow His blood from the cross to wash away your sins. After this is done with your heart successfully the Holy Spirit will come to live within you and He will rebuild you from the inside out.
Look for signs that you are saved. Things like spreading the good news from Jesus, getting other people saved, a craving for the word of God, reading the Bible, etc… These things are known as a calling and fruit bearing. If you're not bearing fruit then keep doing it. Sometimes it takes time to get saved. Read Matthew chapter 13 from the King James Bible. God bless!!!!
You don't have to read from the King James version of the Bible only. It's not a bad version for people that lived in the 1500's and 1600's, because that's how people spoke back then. I prefer Bible that I can read and understand a lot easier in today's language. It still conveys the same message, it's just easier to understand. Great job though on telling others about Christ and what they need to do. I can only pray that more people like you would spread the message.
Acts 4:12.
You guys sound like you aren’t fun to drink with
??? TOH shows a door factory and you are going to read a bible?
