Dan is having some much fun with all his big boy toys. But honestly thank you so much to Axminster tools for sponsoring Dan. The right tools make such a difference. As always love your vlogs and the effort you go to placing camera angles and editing
Thank you for restoring French heritage, because out of our 75,000 castles and manors only 20,000 have been restored, one more in which you can flourish in our magnificent regions is always a relief, thank you!!
Dan, as you mentioned, making the door was an excellent way of developing your skills with the new wood working tools - I’m absolutely amazed at how quickly you learn new skills❤
Wish I could learn that fast.
I’m amazed at how many skills he picks up so quickly, starting from his farm house Reno years ago, gardening, cooking, drumming……the list goes on and on! Seriously talented, oh yeah RUclips , filming, editing, stuntman!!!😂
This ain't his first rodeo.
Those doors are going to last decades! Beautiful.
Well worth the practice. I did wonder about the use of unseasoned fresh timber too, but all my woodworking knowledge comes from youtube… so…?
I am impressed with the new tools you have! It will make your job so much easier. Thanks AxMinster Tools for helping Dan out!
I've been watching since the beginning. I'm 81and I worked in furniture repairing and refinishing(retired, unfortunately.) I enjoyed my work. I hope I live long enough to see the chateau finished. Speed it up Dan
.
I pray that you will live a long time to see chateau completed. It is a wonderful journey. I am very excited just to see the roof completed, but I know that will be a while.
There is no sense of urgency, 😂🤣 I hope I am still around as well
@@Luci.589 as do I (age 72). I totally agree with you!! He doesn't need to rush to make others feel good. Patience and focus is what he really needs. Safety is KEY! It won't be any good if Dan gets hurt trying to please others (who aren't helping)!
@@stizelswik3694he was joking, I’m sure. We are all looking forward to the chateau being finished but a woodworker knows better than most that things take awhile.
lol- my husband is 72 and I’m 65. We get so excited about the progress and are amazed Dan is doing so much alone! But like you, we are looking forward to MORE! Take care!
My husband is a retired carpenter joiner with over 50 years in the trade in the UK and Canada not only does he have huge wood shop envy but a massive amount of admiration for your tenacity, motivation and desire to learn. What your doing is brilliant ❤
Glad that with rain, the floor is dry. Thanks for taking us along with u on your adventure
I never thought the weekends whould be hard to endure, But whaitning until late monday night or early thuesday morning for the next episode.... ❤
Great to see you using the new tools. By yourself, filming and editing is more than I can imagine. This Chateau restoration by far surpasses all the other Chateau restorations on RUclips. You Dan are absolutely amazing.
and doing it all practically single handedly too! But I love to see all the guys in unison together!
So interesting, thank you for sharing !
A hand crafted doorey thing.... A thing of beauty!! 👌
A store bought door would have worked......... But the one you built will be there long after a store one would be. And as you said, it's good practice for the future "Final" doors.
Looks amazing Dan. You are one very talented fella.
The size of these doors and frames is a lot bigger than store bought ones unless he had them made for him. Dan has measured and has the wood so making them himself as he has all the tools and 9:05 tool's
Has done it himself.
The door would probably out last the store 👍🇬🇬
No way would an osb door do, that door is so cool 😎. And the practice will be priceless. The next roof will be cake 😊. Been here since you and Nick and orange pants man started to clean out the very first floor and trees. And now, you have clean and dry areas and a roof, it's freaking amazing
Beautiful door. Don't forget to seal it against the weather.
When I see the work that you are doing with the most modern tools I am in awe of the builders in the old days who did all that work with hand tools.
Another thing to wait up for, seeing those double attic doors in place. And that look back to the water tank was really good. It’s easy to forget the scale of the project and how much of a ruin the place was in the beginning and also how scared we watchers all were when you balanced high up on top of a heap of crumbling rubble without support, making us eagerly wait for next episode. Even when you thought there was nothing much to show but repetitive, slow progress.
And yes, it’s very easy to become an addict… You sure manage to tick every box ;)
Let’s hope there will be more god quality oak timber available in the near future now that the Paris cathedral is finally restored…
😮😮 I had forgotten how completely freaked I was watching you Dan on those high scale balancing acts. Brrrr. Now the joy of roofing and developing carpentry skills. KEEP SAFE! We live watching your
acachievements. As someone has already said thanks for taking us on the journey with you.
Nearly 1/2 a million addicts
Dan,I am a builders daughter, 82 years old and shut in. I am enjoying your saga! You and Nick are truly to be admired for your skills, enthusiasm and persistence. Your work is inspiring! I would love to see a session on how your lovely wife is coping! Does she live in the yurt?
Yes, thank you Axminster for donating all those wonderful tools
Sometimes I think I just like the sound of tools I can even smell fresh cut wood😊
Look at you go! The right equipment! Yeah
Breakfast in Thailand, watching the process off cutting wood with the new tools. Great.
Wow that is customised! CUSTOMISED!!
Great having the right tools. You can create anything you want and need. Enjoy. We will enjoy watching .
Nothing like having the right tools to get the job done. Have fun working with all your new toys 😍😘
I LOVE that door. all hand crafted by you! Awesome work, Son. I'm so glad you are able to have the right tools to get the jobs done properly!!! It's all for a grand cause in my book! Thanks for sharing your skills and this wonderful job with us!!!
8:45 Train!! Great choice in music. I love Train.
🎶 The music returns!
I love carpentry. There are so many things I'd like to create, if I only knew what I was doing.
The amazing thing is that with the tens of thousands of chateaux and manor houses in France that woodworkers made all those roofs and panelled rooms, windows and enormous doors with only hand tools ! No screws, just pegs and hand made nails !
Hmm... OK;
Lovely to see a door frame being made, looking like a home is happening at last , bless you.
The more you use your new tools the more experienced you will become ❤
It is interesting to see the tree rings. The more rings, the older and stronger the wood is.
Would love that door at my kitchen door, doesn't look like a practice piece. Good on you.
Having the right tools makes the job so much easier! You’re doing a great job Dan.
When you eventually hang the finished doors, I hope these will find a pride of place on an outbuilding somewhere as a reminder to where this stage of the renovating started. Really enjoyed watching the process and the different tools and stages, you deserve some of this after all that shovelling and groundwork.
Great idea!
OSB board door whilst you have your new toys to play with? No chance.!! Thankyou Axminster for giving this young man some help. You are both stars!👏👏❤
Someday a few generations down the road, someone will say "these are really nice doors. They are worth saving." In the meantime, after the attic, they will come in handy in the basement or somewhere else. Good work!
OSB would NOT have been just as good... Work of art there! Can't wait to see them up.
How fortunate you are that you have been given such a gift of that workshop. I’m so very proud of you, and what you’ve accomplished to date. Great job on the door young man. Enjoying every one of your moments in Mexico City.
From chef to master carpenter!!! Im gobsmacked totally blown away and all self taught. Blooming well done Dan.
Could almost smell the fresh cut wood with these up close and personal views ! ThankYou for taking us along on your journey of restoring this chateau . We are very fortunate to have this opportunity. Continue to be safe and well !
IKR! it's all soooo awesome! Working on it practically alone, he really needs to stay safe!
You could see all the grains in the wood, And .......the video captured some of the music he was listening to. There's only so much of bird songs you can listen to......A little rock is good for the soul!
Thanks Dan for keeping us in tune with what's happening at your Chateau....love it! Nice door too!
Can you imagine how many craftsmen and journeymen would have labored on the chateau originally? Now, one guy with the occasional help of the two woodsmen can do the whole job with the help of some really cool equipment!
Don’t forget Calvin😁
I think about that often, like what would they say seeing the owner of the chateau doing all the hard work now 😊
WOW…GREAT CARPENTRY SKILLS & FAST LEARNER with your new TOYS! ❤from Montreal
No. An OSB door would not have been just as good. You made the right decision.
I much agree, OSB door doesn't come close to the door you built.
And it gives him practice for when it comes to making the fancy ones for the rest of the building.
What is an OSB door?
@@patriciaeisert8483 OSB is oriented strand board much like the subfloor material. Basically layers of wood chips pressed and glued together.
Agreed, OSB is not good for wet conditions.
If you have been watching Dan since his Chateau Diaries days, you now understand how he and Stephanie's cousin got so much accomplished. Between these two, they knew exactly what they needed to do and made it look so easy. They would get done fast and efficiently and the projects never had to be re-done. This is exactly how Dan is getting so much done so fast now. For others it would take a lifetime.
Making your own door is good practice for learning the woodworking skills you're going to need for all the massive amount of woodwork to be done for the interior in the future. Also let's you get to know the equipment and their idiosyncrasies. Good option of making your own door. 😀👍
That's one fantastic temporary door there, Dan.
Crack on! 🎉
Man you truly are in a carpenter’s paradise with all those tools. I’m sure you’ll be done with the chateau in a minute
Dan the doors came out looking beautiful and handmade. Just the ticket for what you need at the moment and once you are ready to switch those out when the hallway is enclosed those doors would look perfect on a small workshop shed/barn . Great job!
A proper hand crafted door for the beautiful chateau. Well done, Dan.
I'm very impressed with this project. I can understand that it's gotta be difficult with limited help, although the men that help you are excellent workers and appear to be very knowledgeable. I worked 15 years of construction, primarily masonry, concrete (footers, floors and walls), roofing etc... I took a career later in life (33) that offered me so much more but I'm dissatisfied with the job but it offers benefits and other perks and I have a family. I very much miss working with my hands. I shall live vicariously through you and this amazing project. Thank you for your time.
I just finished binging all your videos! I’m finally caught up!
Impressive, isn’t he?!
Great job on that door Dan!
Hurray! Welcome to Team Dan & the gang!
It took me a week end. It was hard to adjust to only one a day.
@@scampbell8136 I feel that, what do I do with my life now that I’m not watching his videos all day! Lol
I remember watching the video!! I am just so glad you stayed safe!!!👍👍👍👍👍🎆👋👋👋👋
You made a beautiful door!
Sure was fun watching each step. You've got this down, Dan.
I hope they become permanent somewhere on the chateau...
He could use them as doors in the basement!!
What a beautiful door, it looks so heavy, but sturdy...excited for the brickwork...going to be amazing...!
Dan it's not just having all the equipment you need for the job....but having the skills to use them correctly.......amazing! Sandi x
I’m so pleased you lived to tell the tail and made it through from things like removing that water tank. I hardly have to hold my breath watching you now. 😂 The mill on site is a wonder. Now that’s a bench to work on. Wow to the tools Dan. Yes, I know but they are excellent. Great job at the videoing and editing. I enjoyed it. Thank you for going to so much trouble. The door is great so don’t talk yourself down Dan. You should be proud of yourself. Thank you. May you please take care and stay safe. Louisa. 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️🤩🤩🤩
I love to see you build things like the door. It takes me way back in time to when I watched my father build furniture and cabinets for us. Keep up the good work.
Ooo using the toys!!! I remember that tank drop I held my breath. Wow how far that seems now. What progress !! Bravo Dan .
Im glad you've bought a Mafell NFU 50, just a few weeks ago i thought, that you would need one and here we are. That thing will speed up the rebuilding process so much.
That's a man happy in his work great to have all the tools be sure to keep those lovely new chisels only for chiseling 😉
And sharpen them regularly 👍
Fulfilling for you to have nice tools and a dry work space and tke pride in a nice dry project with good light and tools are all sage i hope…gotta train those guard dogs.👍🏻
That's a fine door you made Dan. Solid and it looks great and has that old time look. It's for the attic so just LEAVE it up there!
WTF...
The door looks good Dan, you did an excellent job! and it looks much nicer than a bought door. Having the right tools to work with makes a huge difference and makes the job a lot easier. Thank you, so much to Axminster tools for sponsoring Dan.
Good practice on the door for all those new tools you have. I loved this video. Thanks Dan
That door was made so well. I don’t American doors are made even close to that well built! Amazing Dan!
One made …..more to do…..all good Practice with the new tools…….great effort….😊🇦🇺
No, an OSB door would not be just as good. This house needs your craft to make it special, thanks for taking the time and showing us how important it is to add the magic of creating a home.
Good idea and it seems you did quite a good job with this 'temporary' door! Great having the sawmill and all these shiny new. tools!
We’ve created a monster, making such fancy mortise and tenon joints. It does look awfully nice congratulations.
Wow Dan, you have truly become an amazing craftsman. Watching you build out that door was incredible.
Cool tools. Great workroom. Beautiful door! You've come so far!!!
I've been a subscriber since the beginning. I'm 80 years old with a history of antique house restoration (retired). Thus, the attraction. Another RUclips builder that I follow works alone for his projects much the same way as you. Lots of heavy steel, lams, plywood and rain, etc, etc. He uses, to his great benefit, a self erecting tower crane, which is something you might consider and which I wish I had thought of long ago. His channel is called 'Jake Rosenfeld' See part 7- 43.00; 45:35, 46:50 and Part 11- 57:45, 112:27, 113:15. Net result heavy lifting gone, time saved, saftey enhanced. Not a critique, just hoping to be helpful. Keep up the good work!
Haha, we've been telling Dan to get some proper lifting capacity in for a year. A crane or goods hoist would be ideal.
He will not spend money on temporary works though. He likes doing it the hard way for some reason!
No OSB door!! This is beautiful and built to last! I think you were really enjoying this, Amory might need to come check out the tools! 😊
@@PreservationEnthusiast Probably bc he thinks it generates content. But I would rather see him use a crane and make some real progress instead of struggling away with lifting stuff. I find it quite frustrating to watch.
Cheers I just subscribed to him
I’m afraid Dan is far too busy to read these comments. I suggested in the past that you put scaffold stairs in a sponsored scaffold. Like I said I don’t think he reads these comments been watching from the start.
Well done Dan nice door you did an excellent job looks much nicer than a bought door specially them cheap things you can be proud of that.
You do amazing things on your first effort, the door is solid and the roof structure is amazing. Well done!
The door is brilliant! No storm is going to damage that one! It’s strong, heavy and hardy. OSB might of been a tad bit light and weak to the weather for what you need it for.
With doors like that held in place by a nice strong wooden frame, they aren’t going anywhere.
“If a job is worth doing, it’s worth doing well” - congratulations Dan on continuing to do just that (and developing your skills in the process). I can’t begin to express how much watching your commitment to building something properly and not just quickly lightens my spirits of a morning. You’re an inspiration.
Bravo Zulu. Not only do remember where you put each tool, you’re becoming proficient at using them.
Having the right tools makes a huge difference I bet, hi Dan, good to see you back. 👩🏼👋🏼
He has tool heaven now. Love to see new tools in action.
That’s exactly what I was told by the daughter of an ex~carpenter.
You have to have the right tool for every job.
@@michaelspring3915 So where are the new tools? I only saw him use the same green marked French tools. Axminsters clamps.... Might think they would want him to plug their stuff a bit more.
@@user-jg6iy4zw2l there’s a long way to go on this 🤣
@@user-jg6iy4zw2l Dude a few episodes ago all he was doing was setting up his new work shop area and he was unpacking all the new equipment / tools. Not sure why your so negative.
The right tools make it so much easier!
As a 30 year Carpenter I'm quite impressed with your toys! Wish I had sponsors that sent me them.
Start a RUclips channel! Seriously. Just showing off your work from time to time. People love to watch carpentry.
Great doors. If you ever put them up for auction they will be worth a lot more than a few days work.... first work to be done with the new tools etc. etc.
I think the use of wooden dowels for wooden connections is totally brilliant and I think it's great that you use them too
You've come a long way, young man. Congratulations on your accomplishments so far. Love from Kingston, Ontario. 🇨🇦
Awe yes,,Kingston , st Lawrence river cruise yrs ago,,to Quebec city,,closest I will ever get to France! 😊
As others have said before, thanks to Axminster Tools for your lovely new workshop. We will enjoy watching your work and having all the tools you need on site should make the job a tad easier. With each new skill/job we will enjoy watching all your hard work. By the end we will all have an appreciation for all the hard work you are putting in to this fabulous chateau.
WTF are you repeating the sponsor's name?
Even Dan doesn't do it!
Are they sponsoring you? Obviously not.
Get a freaking clue!
Dan , your conviction is admirable but All you need is a simple Barn door !
He said he wanted the practice.
Dan you have the tools and equipment so Lesh Gooh buddy, you did a fantastic job with the prototype! Until tomorrow Legend!! Take care and be safe 👍😇😇🇫🇷🏰
I'm glad you made your own doors. They look wonderful and came from the property. Hope you're going to seal them. You can always repurpose them later as garden shed doors, etc.
Your opening magical music had fairies circling your world. 🧚🏼♂️🧚🏽🧚🏼♀️
Lovely image and 🎼
Look at you, finally playing with all the new toys... This must have been a very happy day for you! 🎉
Amaury needs to come visit! ❤
Oh gawd no please, SJ will make such a meal of that
Haha 😄
I thought he would have come to help Dan before now. It's been over a year.
Amaury is rebuilding a Chateau too.
@@reillybb1 I realise that, but even a weekend would have helped. Dan is learning as he goes but Amaury is a master at his craft. Even a day would have been helpful.
Ladies and Gentlemen, we have this season's hottest Spring Summer fashions in builders tools. This show is featuring exclusively The Preston Collection.
I love watching you make what you need ❤
Must feel really nice to have a full enclosed workshop space. Looks nearly cozy!
Love the Blue Tractor Dan. Those tools are amazing eh. Great to see them in use.
Woah, having a closer look at some of the rock and brick walls, there is going to a ton of plastering to do!!!
Wish I could be there to help out!!!
Yes, there's a huge amount to be done in just that one task.
Me to help out
Good thing Dan loves repointing.
Seeing the water tank clip makes one appreciate how much has been achieved already. Bravo. And while you don't say where you got your tools from - but I thought " Good old Axminster!". So that works, too. 🎉
I’m sure I’m not the only one here thinking that you’re living the dream, Dan. A hard-earned dream that takes its daily tally of sweat and blisters, but that is well worth it.
Thanks for the inspiration and the motivation to keep going. Looking up to you.
Getting acquainted with the tools' capabilities and operation takes time, too. I agree with you that you need to take the opportunities when they present themselves to get acquainted as there are bound to be proprietary differences. And who can resist getting to use them! Also, I'm sure Axminster is happy to see those tools being shown in action! Everybody benefits! Great job-again! It's a great door and far more helpful than an osb door!
This is amazing! Thank you so much! I'm tickled to know you read your messages!! Keep going as I watch every episode with anticipation!! Very proud of you Sir!!
Hi Dan, the walls look incredible. Excellent job. 😊 Continue to be safe. 🙏 🙏 Work space looks nice, clean as you go, makes a difference. You've come a long way. Self gratification is defintely in order. Your work is 👌 👍. Shout out to Nick and Cameron. 😊
Dan you really did an amazing job making these doors! You have really sharpened your skills of carpentry and skills with the different tools and equipment is intriguing and acceptable to us viewers.
