Quick Question: Is that Coating you used suitable for Cutting Boards? I'm looking for a good finish for my cutting boards which I don't have to reapply weekly, maybe not even monthly ^^
@@MrSemorphim ...OH HELL NO!! That stuff is toxic Especially the liquid Ceramic...Dude, are you kidding?? The only thing you put on cutting boards is food oil, Olive, Avocado, Grapeseed, Flax, etc...
No hardware - your wife noticing that patch was both funny and frightening. The ability to see such a tiny imperfection in the midst of all that other excellent work is a scary power. I pray for you sir...
When Elana stopped and said , "What's that?", I thought she saw the camera. I think it was you dog that ratted you out! She would never have bent down in that exact spot had she not pet him, maybe.
I love how proud you are of the drywall...doing something very well that you've never done before is more gratifying than doing something perfectly that you do all the time imo.
I didn't think I would like the no hardware. I was wrong. I love it. Funniest part of this video was when your wife asked "slow close?" and you're like "yea we don't mess around here" when in fact you didn't even realize you ordered slow close. Ya did good. The door is beautiful.
Rules for being a husband: 1. Love and respect your wife unconditionally etc etc. 2. Take credit for anything that goes right, because you’ll sure as hell get credit for anything that goes wrong.
No hardware, and that looks fantastic! I love how honest and down to earth you are in your videos. Even though I don't have the same tools, you feel relatable as a creator.
I love how excited she was about the soft close, and how quick you were to be like “yeah that was totally planned we don’t mess around” 😂 what a cool door dude I want to make one now
I love how transparent you are with troubleshooting and mistakes with your materials along the way. A lot of these diy builders try to be so perfect from even the way they shoot and edit their videos let alone how they frame their designs and functionality of it. You on the other hand have pro skills, have great tools and utilize them to your best ability and even with all you have going for you, you still demonstrate problems that people will find themselves having when doing their own projects in a similar fashion. The way you find fixes to your problems is so clever and I love the realistic feel of your vids.
couldnt stop laughing when your wife found the patch and your reaction was to block her out and walk away. you did a great job with the door and patching up the wall and ill definitely be looking into that shop locator if i ever plan to do any custom wood work
I love the new door over the old one. Can't believe she even saw the patch...I would never have pointed it out, just been grateful for the awesome new door...Love your videos and your work is amazing!
No hardware, I think that it matches your home so much better than the old pantry door and it fits the general theme you have with your furniture and woodworking. Stunning Job!
I used to have a custom drapery business which included the custom work room. One thing I realized early on was NOTHING is perfect. We had a saying for picky customers, "A blind man would give the world to see that imperfection". Keep that in mind going forward with your amazing, one of a kind, wood creations!
Love the No Hardware look. Wife walked past me while watching the video, saw the part with your wife opening and closing the door, said "That's what we're doing." So, thanks for the extra work around the house.
I know this is super late but as a drywaller I just wanted to tell you putting joint compound right onto wood (especially load bearing wood) is a surefire way to get cracks, as you know wood moves seasonally and while the wood can bend, joint compound is extremally rigid and brittle. If you do get cracks I suggest cutting a slightly bigger spot and screwing the backing wood 1/2" recessed for drywall and make sure to use fiber tape to help it resist movement.
I’m very OCD myself. The door looks fabulous! I’m sure your wife will always know the patch is there but no one else will every see it! I am an artist and many of my pieces don’t come out as I saw it in my head, but they sell well, which speaks volumes.
Please, ffs, don't call 'attention to detail' OCD. Seriously, not funny - people with actual OCD (as in, obsessive compulsive DISORDER) do not experience this as a pleasant trait. Not trying to be woke, it's just, people casually using mental health issues to describe things unrelated to mental health is really, really unhelpful.
@@lucemiserlohn who are you? Dr bedroomprogrammer? I am not attacking anyone, People who are OCD like myself fight this illness daily, as I have aged it has taught me that others don’t appreciate perfection and rightly don’t give a damn. Those of us whom suffer this do talk of our issues, it helps other to understand us and the way we work. Obviously you don’t have these issues, your issues are getting out of your bed. So sorry for you! Don’t ever tell somebody that you don’t know their faults whether you agree or disagree. Thank you for your comment.

The no hardware fits the style of your home better, whereas the Old Hardware fits the style of our home (farm country I guess you could call it). I love your work and watching you create. Thank you for providing very educational, honest content.
I wasn't sure how you would accomplish such a feat. You did a remarkable job & the fact that you put so much effort into trying to accommodate your wife's OCD is sweet. Beautiful door.
No hardware - it looks gorgeous! Also kudos to how you script your videos because you do such a great job at promoting your workshop and products without making it seem like you're actually promoting them! Honestly one of the hardest things to script so 🔥
No hardware for sure! The door is beautiful and your wife has the eyes of an eagle but a boundless heart for you! And who wouldn’t love a husband with hands of gold and a shop stacked with tools!?! Great job on that door. I’m showing this video to my husband pronto!
Ok, I just watched this 2 years on. One, FANTASTIC JOB! I LOVE IT! As for the patch...are you freaking kidding me?! You did a great job and she is COMPLAINING??? There are no complaints when you do this kind of work AND fix dry wall (which if DESPISE!). Again, Fantastic job!
You literally gave me the best marriage advice ever! I'm so sad that I had to wait 12 years to learn this, but I'm equally excited to find out how much better the next 12 years will be!!! Thank-you - and I really mean this (not trying to troll or look for likes or anything)!
The no hardware is waaaaay better! Absolutely gorgeous final look. I’ve personally always hated barn doors because of the hardware (and I’m not much for the barn aesthetic) but this is by far the prettiest and cleanest barn door I’ve ever seen

No hardware. So well suited to the clean, modern look of the room. It's beautiful. And man, your wife has eagle eyes! Really love watching you solve the problems that you run into with projects. Great content.
Not so hard to believe. Every wood has it's own type of unique look and feel. For a person that enjoys perfection any disturbance is easily noticed. IMO, it would of been better with a clear epoxy to gently enhance the original blemish into the look of the wood. Far easier to explain and easier for the viewer to accept without the jarring geometric (not natural) patch. That said, only the wife and he will know about it and have likely already accepted it. For the occasional guest that is rude enough to point it out, don't invite them over again. Who needs that kind of uninvited stress in their life?
You managed to make a barn door, which was already pretty minimalist, even more minimalistic. I'd second guess myself if I saw this door and would probably think that it's just leaning against the wall. Absolutely love it!!
Много видео твоих смотрю, но дверь у тебя получается высший пилотаж, я не столяр я отделочник, но мне нравится когда с дерева делают уникальные вещи 👍!!! Респект тебе и уважуха!!!
My favorite part is the opening where you fiercely defend your decision to make it a surprise, then pause and genuinely asking if you should proceed. Your friend immediately encourages you to forge forward despite having thrown some serious pushback at you. Great friendship!
That's good filmmaking right there, something I see quite often is Scott throwing in questions to make Cam elaborate on, and perhaps question, his thinking out loud. So that the audience get to hear it and also get involved in the storytelling
Absolutely love the NO HARDWARE look. I totally agree, certain houses, log cabin or rustic feel no problem barn door is good. Most of our homes do not fall in that category which is probably why we have pocket hole doors as well. I really like your design. Thanks that was fun.
I'm only a student but I desire to be in the trades and whenever I am working in a schooling class or real life situation I can't stop thinking about how clean and good your pieces look. Your definitely one of my biggest role models!
No hardware! Awesome. Gorgeous. Functional. Artistic. Decorative. Love the finish and color! She'll get used to the weight before long. Love the patch. Blends well. ❤❤❤
I am 100% in the New Hardware camp! Wow, that turned out so nice, and I love how, out of such an enormous door, your wife found the ONE patch that you spent ages on getting near perfect! I also agree that over time you both will get used to the weight of the door and not even think about it after a couple weeks.
I like both doors but for your home style, the new doors works better with the decor. Nice job, I am glad to see people have patients to do the work you do. Love it!
I’m a fan of both old and new hardware, just depends on the overall aesthetic and more importantly that it doesn’t sacrifice function over form. I’m proud of you Cam, you’re thriving and I’m loving watching you continue to hone your skills and share that learning process with us.
Agreed. This door looks awesome but I like the hardware show as well. I think the difference is the degree of rustic. Hardware is higher degree of rustic and no show is more modern with a hint. Both look good though.
Absolutely love your work - When you get stuck with drywall patches a killer application that beats all the fillers on the market is just Westpac fast set 5 or 20 (20 is much more forgiving). Your techniques shown in video is perfect, just watch the mud and when it starts to gray out smooth over again with a wet knife. When it sets up if not already perfect it can be sanded with a Wet Sponge, no dust. It sands like balsa wood, lite and fluffy. Just make sure and prime it before paint so it doesn't flash. There are numerous brands of hotmud, but this one is the easiest to work with.
That intro gave me a flashback to my childhood. My father was a carpenter and I remember coming home form school and there was no kitchen because he decided it was time to remodel it. A few years later, the same thing happened but there was no roof on the house and one of his employees was sticking out of where there used to be a roof. My mother also doesn't like surprises.
idk why but i thought you were saying he blew the roof up off the house first time i read that. Probably because i was watching the part of the video about gas lines
It is quite an impressive look, I will give you that. I wonder 🤔, for a bathroom door, if this style would keep out the smells and the noises? For my next home, shop project, it would be pretty cool to get the hardware for.
Speaking as an apparel designer who enjoys the challenge of "making things work", I LOVE your patch! Your work is gorgeous! I wonder if some day she will grow to appreciate the difficulty and creativity of making such a beautiful patch. It's the process not the "mistake" that is important.
Parabéns! Você tem uma característica semelhante a minha! O orgulho de dizer "foi eu quem fez". Nossa casa tem que ter a nossa cara! Certamente você vai contar uma boa história sobre essa porta!
Old hardware if I HAD to pick but new door is beautiful. I just like the loft feel a tad more. You continue to amaze! (I may have been silently rooting for your wife find the plug... you have to fail at something once in a while)
What I love about your videos is that you don't sugarcoat the problems you run into along the way, and instead turn it into a teaching and learning opportunity
Old hardware is my preference. However, it totally depends on your decor/design choices. What you did actually looks better in your house. It's really a piece of art when "all is said and done"!
I don't HATE the old hardware, but that old barn door look is SO OVER DONE. Done to death. Done ad nauseam. Overdone. Stick a fork in it done. So definitely the new/no hardware.
Great door! Love the new hardware. As for the patch your wife isn't fond of, you could put a kick plate over the bottom that matches your kitchen hardware. Would look perfect and cover it up.
@@MrGreen876 well I know it's not standard but it would look nice and cover up the one thing that the wifey isn't happy about 🤷♂️ If you have a better way of covering it up, I'm sure he's open to ideas.
The best part of being a professional is having someone always holding you accountable for the work. It makes you more aware of any mistakes you can possibly achieve. Awesome door and look. Oh, you deserved the criticism from the wife for telling her you weren't recording her. Lol
NO HARDWARE! - That door turned out fantastic! And, just to add my 2cents worth, your wife discovered the patch as she was running her hands over the door, she didn't see it at first. And anyone who doesn't know its there, will never see it either! Your patchwork was just that perfect! I enjoy watching your projects. You put so much attention to detail and it shows! Well done, man!!
No Hardware. Dude! Such a beautiful piece! I am thinking that this may possibly move into the number one spot for me! Love the way it just floats there all alone. So simple looking yet shows the craftsmanship so well! Damn, Cam, excellent work yet again, sir!
What a gorgeous door and from someone who’s had to do way more mudding than I ever planned on, excellent job with the drywall! Your new door is a work of art, with a graceful balancing of the wood grain on the various pieces. Like you, I’m happier with barn doors in barns and appreciate seeing how others install more elegant door systems. I work with basic tools so it’s fun to see the commercial equipment. Your butterfly inset to mitigate the end split is ingenious, thanks. That’s part of why I watch complex building projects, there’s always something that’s helpful for my basic woodworking and I enjoy improvising with what I have. I find it very true too… planting ideas to germinate in the mind of others can smooth things out a lot. Anxiety can be a tough one, the inner insecurity drives some to feeling a need for perfection. That was a skillful non-engagement response on your part. Thanks again for sharing your skills in showcasing living wood.
No hardware. The barn door looks (or is?) mass produced, your new door has a beautiful original custom-made look to it, and the finish is great to look at. Amazing how your wife immediately found the patch! Difficult to meet her high standards, but you are clearly up to the task. Great job!
Old hardware for me. I’m new here, just found you yesterday and your videos make me think of my dad who passed away Nov 19; 2013. He loved woodworking and would have done awesomely with these kinds of things. Love your videos 🥰🥰
My husband and I have been looking for help with some wood projects. Your website is a huge blessing. Thank you and your whole family may peace be with you.
Love the door, being OCD myself, I coulda told you she would notice the patch no matter how perfect. The mixture of old (stained wood) with the modern hardware is just perfect for that home. It looks fantastic.
No hardware: I'm an old-school furniture maker/woodworker who uses old-school finishes, and I've learned more about new/modern finishes from you than from anyone else. That's saying something. Great content, as always, and the patch was outstanding -- it's amazing she saw it. Kudos to her eye; she's a whole lot better than most.
I did a barn door with not as nice hardware, and I mentioned what you did for your barn door and she wants it now. I look everywhere for ideas and you've shown me a lot. I was kinda freaked out on epoxy pours until I've watched a lot on your channel. So far great success and not that stressed. Thank you!
All I can say is WOW!!!!! I'm always amazed at people that do work with wood. I work in IT and my boss is really good with wood among other things and I admire that a lot. You sir are a master at your craft, I watched it from beginning to end and enjoyed it, thank you for sharing this video.
Absolutely nailed it! Your wife has eagle eyes. She could have been a sniper! Good luck in the future with that. The cross hatch patch I think is amazing with so many possibilities, as long as she does not know about it.
I own a hand drill and some screwdrivers and pliers. Definitely not a woodworker, but I’d love to start someday coz I’ve always been fascinated by the craft. Love your videos! Very laid back, informative, easy to understand and no pretense. Appreciate the effort you put into your projects! Keep it up :D Much respect 🤙🏽
No hardware, 100%. LOVE your new door. And BTW, making my husband believe everything is his idea is the only way I get my projects accepted. It used to bug me to no end, but I came to realize that he's unable to envision concepts and so fights me all the way, but at the end he's always thrilled and grateful.
wow this is an incredible project. just like many others my favorite part was your wife almost immediately noticing the patch, the "uh oh" haha Either way she seemed super happy at the new addition.
NO hardware, love the clean look and the AWESOME soft closure! The stain is perfect and wow, melds with the modern style. Love it when wood grain is sustained in a project! Thanks for sharing!
Traditional barn door exposed hardware is fine, particularly when its on a barn, but I love the hidden hardware indoors. I especially loved your wife's reaction, including the fact that she caught the inlay glitch-fix and loved the door anyway. Hilarious!
You are a one patient and good husband. I know so many people and wives that would be so excited for something like this!! I’m trying really hard not to say something I’ll regret, so I’ll just say this: You did fucking fantastic!!
No hardware. I really like this build. I made a barn door for our laundry room a few years ago, and now I want to rebuild it. I love your videos. My wife and I agree about the “happy wife happy life” saying. She heard you from the other room. 👍🏻👍🏻
I felt truly sorry for the man. The woman maybe finished the school with good marks but in spiritual aspects remained undeveloped. She measures success in purely survivalist sense, therefore materialistic and doesn't understand spiritual values.
@@milos.pavlovic I can't tell if this is a comment by a bot or if you actually called his wife "spiritually undeveloped" when they have an eye for detail. Weird take.
No hardware looking phenomenal! 😮 love the barn door look, I’ve built and installed a few barn doors for some past customers during a remodel. And this one is one of my favorite looks cam! Nice work as always!
I’m late to the party but I like both styles of hanging. However, I like yours better bc it’s smooth, solid walnut and it looks beautiful! Re: The old door: If anyone has ever tried to dust a rough wood anything, you’ll know what a pain it is bc, not only the dust, but also the fuzzies from the dusting cloth get stuck in the wood and it looks terrible. Whoever thought rough wood has ANY place in a home has never tried to clean it! Re: The filled knot: you did an awesome job of seamlessly filling that knot hole, and should feel proud to point that out. You cd also ask, what wd they rather see? A clunky old knot? Or a seamlessly fitted and smooth replacement? Wood is organic; it has characteristics and you can’t get it without! 😊 TFS & keep up the good work! 😄

IMO, it would of been better with a clear epoxy to gently enhance the original blemish into the look of the wood. Far easier to explain and easier for the viewer to accept without the jarring geometric (not natural) patch. That said, only the wife and he will know about it and have likely already accepted it. For the occasional guest that is rude enough to point it out, don't invite them over again. Who needs that kind of uninvited stress in their life?
@@michaelengelby732 Well said, although you don't need to be a perfectionist to notice, it was a really bad call to patch it this way.
You managed to make a barn door, which was already pretty minimalist, even more minimalistic. I'd second guess myself if I saw this door and would probably think that it's just leaning against the wall. Absolutely love it!!
Love the clean look without the hardware. Beautiful work and I don’t mind patches in the wood. It’s all part of the story.
Gotta have the patches or it's too perfect. Now it has personality!
Love that clean no hardware look! Also the fact that your wife saw that patch is unreal haha
how did she do that, it looks so clean
I liked the old door - But the hidden mechanism and the clean look of the new one is awesome 👍
my mom put a barn door on her master bath. I hated it. Looked exactly like theirs. Hardware is an eyesore, I like modern look any day.
@@kraken2844 also the fact that they just made an outlet completely unusable is hilariously stupid to me 🤣
Много видео твоих смотрю, но дверь у тебя получается высший пилотаж, я не столяр я отделочник, но мне нравится когда с дерева делают уникальные вещи 👍!!! Респект тебе и уважуха!!!
The new door looks better for your home. I personally like the rustic barn door. It all just depends on the style of your home.
The new door looks like garbage
@@MikehMike01 Nah it fits with the rest of his home better than the old barn door
@@JoeARedHawk275 maybe the rest of his house is as ugly as this door
My favorite part is the opening where you fiercely defend your decision to make it a surprise, then pause and genuinely asking if you should proceed. Your friend immediately encourages you to forge forward despite having thrown some serious pushback at you. Great friendship!
No hardware, love the minimalist look.
That's good filmmaking right there, something I see quite often is Scott throwing in questions to make Cam elaborate on, and perhaps question, his thinking out loud. So that the audience get to hear it and also get involved in the storytelling
Absolutely love the NO HARDWARE look. I totally agree, certain houses, log cabin or rustic feel no problem barn door is good. Most of our homes do not fall in that category which is probably why we have pocket hole doors as well. I really like your design. Thanks that was fun.
Yes, you are also in South America, I am from Brazil and I am fascinated by your work, I am watching every day.
I'm only a student but I desire to be in the trades and whenever I am working in a schooling class or real life situation I can't stop thinking about how clean and good your pieces look. Your definitely one of my biggest role models!
Absolutely stunning! No hardware is the way to go, keeps it clean and doesn't take away for the beauty of the wood itself.
No hardware! Awesome. Gorgeous. Functional. Artistic. Decorative. Love the finish and color! She'll get used to the weight before long. Love the patch. Blends well. ❤❤❤
I am 100% in the New Hardware camp! Wow, that turned out so nice, and I love how, out of such an enormous door, your wife found the ONE patch that you spent ages on getting near perfect! I also agree that over time you both will get used to the weight of the door and not even think about it after a couple weeks.
I'm not a fan of any barn doors that have left the barn, but your sleek version w/ hidden hardware is pretty sweet.
It's so annoying, every reno in Australia people are putting in bloody barn doors!
No horse? No barn door!
I like both doors but for your home style, the new doors works better with the decor. Nice job, I am glad to see people have patients to do the work you do. Love it!
Agreed. Both styles are great. Just depends on the aesthetic of the home.
I’m a fan of both old and new hardware, just depends on the overall aesthetic and more importantly that it doesn’t sacrifice function over form. I’m proud of you Cam, you’re thriving and I’m loving watching you continue to hone your skills and share that learning process with us.
Agreed. This door looks awesome but I like the hardware show as well.
I think the difference is the degree of rustic. Hardware is higher degree of rustic and no show is more modern with a hint. Both look good though.
Absolutely love your work - When you get stuck with drywall patches a killer application that beats all the fillers on the market is just Westpac fast set 5 or 20 (20 is much more forgiving). Your techniques shown in video is perfect, just watch the mud and when it starts to gray out smooth over again with a wet knife. When it sets up if not already perfect it can be sanded with a Wet Sponge, no dust. It sands like balsa wood, lite and fluffy. Just make sure and prime it before paint so it doesn't flash.
There are numerous brands of hotmud, but this one is the easiest to work with.
That intro gave me a flashback to my childhood. My father was a carpenter and I remember coming home form school and there was no kitchen because he decided it was time to remodel it. A few years later, the same thing happened but there was no roof on the house and one of his employees was sticking out of where there used to be a roof. My mother also doesn't like surprises.
idk why but i thought you were saying he blew the roof up off the house first time i read that. Probably because i was watching the part of the video about gas lines
The modern style is a huge improvement on the barn door style. If this was a kit you could buy, I'd certainly look into getting one.
It is quite an impressive look, I will give you that. I wonder 🤔, for a bathroom door, if this style would keep out the smells and the noises? For my next home, shop project, it would be pretty cool to get the hardware for.
Speaking as an apparel designer who enjoys the challenge of "making things work", I LOVE your patch! Your work is gorgeous! I wonder if some day she will grow to appreciate the difficulty and creativity of making such a beautiful patch. It's the process not the "mistake" that is important.
He channeled his inner Tim Gunn for that haha
Parabéns! Você tem uma característica semelhante a minha! O orgulho de dizer "foi eu quem fez". Nossa casa tem que ter a nossa cara! Certamente você vai contar uma boa história sobre essa porta!
Old hardware if I HAD to pick but new door is beautiful. I just like the loft feel a tad more. You continue to amaze! (I may have been silently rooting for your wife find the plug... you have to fail at something once in a while)
What I love about your videos is that you don't sugarcoat the problems you run into along the way, and instead turn it into a teaching and learning opportunity
I love how you're so used to making tables that you called the door a table a few times haha. Nonetheless awesome work as usual!
@SaltyBrains I noticed at least three times he called it a table. Funny stuff.
New hardware!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love everything about this! It is so nice to see how much you care for your wife. You are both blessed abundantly!
In my opinion you my favourite woodworker ever . Just the things you do are incredible
In my opinion you actually prefer others.
I don't like to brag, but I can do all of that with a butterknife and ABC gum.
Old hardware is my preference. However, it totally depends on your decor/design choices. What you did actually looks better in your house. It's really a piece of art when "all is said and done"!
I don't HATE the old hardware, but that old barn door look is SO OVER DONE. Done to death. Done ad nauseam. Overdone. Stick a fork in it done.
So definitely the new/no hardware.
@@idontthinkso666 it works really well in some places and shouldn't be booed in said places
Otherwise however, they are past well done
The old hardware would last forever, that new one is going to fall apart.
@@AntonGully that's how it always is
My fridge is from 1925 and will likely still work in 2125
I prefer the original barn door myself as well, but everyone has their own taste.
New, no hardware. And she misses nothing! I love Walnut and Pecan. The soft closing is a great touch. Thanks again for your posting.
That hidden hardware is perfection! I want to do barn doors, but tend to not like the hardware, so now I am inspired. Thanks.
Great door! Love the new hardware. As for the patch your wife isn't fond of, you could put a kick plate over the bottom that matches your kitchen hardware. Would look perfect and cover it up.
Imagine a kick plate on a sliding door 😅
@@MrGreen876 well I know it's not standard but it would look nice and cover up the one thing that the wifey isn't happy about 🤷♂️
If you have a better way of covering it up, I'm sure he's open to ideas.
Def not a good idea and not even close to being useful, anyhow, hope he finds a peace ground on this one ;)
All I can say is Great Job and love the no hardware look. She really pays attention to detail! Hope you take that as a compliment, she picked you! 😀👍
😉👍👍👍👍👍👍
That’s kind of like Irish luck… “oh damn, l stepped in dog poop, well… at least l wasn’t wearing my good shoes!”
The best part of being a professional is having someone always holding you accountable for the work. It makes you more aware of any mistakes you can possibly achieve. Awesome door and look. Oh, you deserved the criticism from the wife for telling her you weren't recording her. Lol
@verfBlacktailStudio nice try
NO HARDWARE! - That door turned out fantastic! And, just to add my 2cents worth, your wife discovered the patch as she was running her hands over the door, she didn't see it at first. And anyone who doesn't know its there, will never see it either! Your patchwork was just that perfect! I enjoy watching your projects. You put so much attention to detail and it shows! Well done, man!!
I’m not a handyman AT ALL, but I do love seeing all the tools that are available for almost every idea possible.
i absolutely love the no hardware look. It's so clean it allows the natural beauty of the walnut do all the talking.... great job...
Ditto
No Hardware.
Dude! Such a beautiful piece! I am thinking that this may possibly move into the number one spot for me! Love the way it just floats there all alone. So simple looking yet shows the craftsmanship so well!
Damn, Cam, excellent work yet again, sir!
It's beautiful with new hardware. Thanks for doing this for your wife!!! I appreciate your skills and hardwork.
What a gorgeous door and from someone who’s had to do way more mudding than I ever planned on, excellent job with the drywall! Your new door is a work of art, with a graceful balancing of the wood grain on the various pieces. Like you, I’m happier with barn doors in barns and appreciate seeing how others install more elegant door systems. I work with basic tools so it’s fun to see the commercial equipment. Your butterfly inset to mitigate the end split is ingenious, thanks. That’s part of why I watch complex building projects, there’s always something that’s helpful for my basic woodworking and I enjoy improvising with what I have. I find it very true too… planting ideas to germinate in the mind of others can smooth things out a lot. Anxiety can be a tough one, the inner insecurity drives some to feeling a need for perfection. That was a skillful non-engagement response on your part. Thanks again for sharing your skills in showcasing living wood.
No hardware. The barn door looks (or is?) mass produced, your new door has a beautiful original custom-made look to it, and the finish is great to look at. Amazing how your wife immediately found the patch! Difficult to meet her high standards, but you are clearly up to the task. Great job!
Old hardware for me. I’m new here, just found you yesterday and your videos make me think of my dad who passed away Nov 19; 2013. He loved woodworking and would have done awesomely with these kinds of things. Love your videos 🥰🥰
My husband and I have been looking for help with some wood projects. Your website is a huge blessing. Thank you and your whole family may peace be with you.
Love the door, being OCD myself, I coulda told you she would notice the patch no matter how perfect. The mixture of old (stained wood) with the modern hardware is just perfect for that home. It looks fantastic.
No hardware: I'm an old-school furniture maker/woodworker who uses old-school finishes, and I've learned more about new/modern finishes from you than from anyone else. That's saying something. Great content, as always, and the patch was outstanding -- it's amazing she saw it. Kudos to her eye; she's a whole lot better than most.
I like the old one better….for my house! Your new one is incredible and definitely fits your home’s design better. Awesome work!!
I did a barn door with not as nice hardware, and I mentioned what you did for your barn door and she wants it now. I look everywhere for ideas and you've shown me a lot. I was kinda freaked out on epoxy pours until I've watched a lot on your channel. So far great success and not that stressed. Thank you!
All I can say is WOW!!!!! I'm always amazed at people that do work with wood. I work in IT and my boss is really good with wood among other things and I admire that a lot. You sir are a master at your craft, I watched it from beginning to end and enjoyed it, thank you for sharing this video.
Absolutely nailed it! Your wife has eagle eyes. She could have been a sniper! Good luck in the future with that. The cross hatch patch I think is amazing with so many possibilities, as long as she does not know about it.
I own a hand drill and some screwdrivers and pliers. Definitely not a woodworker, but I’d love to start someday coz I’ve always been fascinated by the craft. Love your videos! Very laid back, informative, easy to understand and no pretense. Appreciate the effort you put into your projects! Keep it up :D Much respect 🤙🏽
Great! Can't wait for the next trend to come, so you can update your door again!
No hardware, 100%. LOVE your new door. And BTW, making my husband believe everything is his idea is the only way I get my projects accepted. It used to bug me to no end, but I came to realize that he's unable to envision concepts and so fights me all the way, but at the end he's always thrilled and grateful.
wow this is an incredible project. just like many others my favorite part was your wife almost immediately noticing the patch, the "uh oh" haha
Either way she seemed super happy at the new addition.
I am fascinated by your work and the effort you put into that door build. It is beautiful and fits your decor perfectly.
Браво!
Так трогательно вы относитесь к своей жене, это приятно видеть и слышать.
Успехов вам во всем!
С любовью из России.💓🇷🇺
NO hardware, love the clean look and the AWESOME soft closure! The stain is perfect and wow, melds with the modern style. Love it when wood grain is sustained in a project! Thanks for sharing!
Traditional barn door exposed hardware is fine, particularly when its on a barn, but I love the hidden hardware indoors. I especially loved your wife's reaction, including the fact that she caught the inlay glitch-fix and loved the door anyway. Hilarious!
You are a one patient and good husband. I know so many people and wives that would be so excited for something like this!! I’m trying really hard not to say something I’ll regret, so I’ll just say this: You did fucking fantastic!!
I like them both… I’m impressed with the workmanship because I love Wood, but I also like the farmhouse look. Your wife and dog are beautiful💙🐾
I do like the old door, but the new one fits the house so much better. Great job!
Cam that was a wicked project......and it was so funny where your wife noticed the 'patch' job....left me chuckling for hours...well done
Love your work!!! You’re one of the best woodworkers I’ve ever seen and the attention to detail you give everything is nuts.
Thanks Hunter, I really try my best anyway
Awesome!!! Love the concept.
Thank you for sharing.
No hardware. I really like this build. I made a barn door for our laundry room a few years ago, and now I want to rebuild it. I love your videos. My wife and I agree about the “happy wife happy life” saying. She heard you from the other room. 👍🏻👍🏻
Lol she still noticed the patchwork after all that effort. I love it
Felt staged with her reaction but maybe she is just really picky I guess
No hardware.
I felt truly sorry for the man. The woman maybe finished the school with good marks but in spiritual aspects remained undeveloped. She measures success in purely survivalist sense, therefore materialistic and doesn't understand spiritual values.
@@milos.pavlovic I can't tell if this is a comment by a bot or if you actually called his wife "spiritually undeveloped" when they have an eye for detail. Weird take.
@@eikkka Religious people aren't very good at logic.
Love the door. We need to install double barn doors to an office and this would be perfect. If only I had your talent. Nicely done.
Love how you give tips for people who are excited, but might be intimidated by the amount of talent, knowledge, and special tools required!
No hardware looking phenomenal! 😮 love the barn door look, I’ve built and installed a few barn doors for some past customers during a remodel. And this one is one of my favorite looks cam! Nice work as always!
I’m late to the party but I like both styles of hanging. However, I like yours better bc it’s smooth, solid walnut and it looks beautiful!
Re: The old door: If anyone has ever tried to dust a rough wood anything, you’ll know what a pain it is bc, not only the dust, but also the fuzzies from the dusting cloth get stuck in the wood and it looks terrible. Whoever thought rough wood has ANY place in a home has never tried to clean it!
Re: The filled knot: you did an awesome job of seamlessly filling that knot hole, and should feel proud to point that out. You cd also ask, what wd they rather see? A clunky old knot? Or a seamlessly fitted and smooth replacement? Wood is organic; it has characteristics and you can’t get it without! 😊 TFS & keep up the good work! 😄
old hardware in general but for the vibe of your house in particular, I think that the new hardware looks amazing! good job on the drywall too.
