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 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.
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.
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.
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
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 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!
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
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 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!
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)!
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.

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.
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!
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.
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!
Chris 75 years young in Australia , have watched Every video (12-15) to end ! Was a farmer, can handle steel, cannot hamer a nail straight, cut wood to plan, Love your work Especially your Honesty and audio. Keep going! Pricing, whatever the trafic will bear. Great creative entertainment.
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?
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
Therapist of 30 years here: Living with someone suffering (and it IS suffering, depending on the degree) from OCD means living around high anxiety and working around their need to control all aspects of their environment. Our psychology savy culture can make light of the terminology but there is a reason you hesitated. Your compassion for her and your mutual respect for each other will go a long ways towards maintaining your relationship.
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!!
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.
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 🔥
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.
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
@@spudth Considering it's plastic and knowing today's plastic "quality" you don't need to count up to 10 years, things tend to break even in one year, "premium" or not same c--p. Speaking of imagine selling a assembly product without instructions, even the cheapest China store ones have instructions, bad English or not, it's still something, these didn't bother to waste a paper or two to print out actual instructions like what the heck ... Solely on that part I can't take this product or company seriously tell me that they just cashgrab these and move on, and rather bought a different set or even made one myself or hired a craft-person who can make one ...
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
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.
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.
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
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!
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!
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!!
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.
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
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.
"Make your wife think it was her idea." IS amazing advice indeed. Tired of your wife not deciding where she wants to eat? Tell you you're taking her somewhere, ask her to guess, then take her to where she guesses. Apply that logic wherever. Makes your life easy and gets you all the brownie points.
This works for positive women who get excited they are going out. However for women who are pessimists they are always going to guess the place they hate the most and they know you love. So it really depends on the woman.
@@midnightgamingmysticnightmare if you know they hate it most, tell them they guessed incorrectly. You should know what your wife likes by this time and plan accordingly.
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)
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.
How beautyful! And what a beautyful house! I am sorry that your wife did not like the patch. I shoild lend her my husband with his 2 left hands, for a couple of days and she will very quickly find the patch extremely beautyful 😂😂😂
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.
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!
I like both. The no hardware and the old hardware. I am OCD as well, but I love knots in wood. I think you did a great job on it. Great info as well. Passing this along to my husband.
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. ❤❤❤
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.
My absolute favorite part of the Godfather pt2 is when Deniro loses his job at the deli to the Don’s nephew and refuses the charity from the owner and can only afford to bring home a single pear! And his wife comments. “Che bella sta pera” (what a lovely pear) and Deniro smiles because he knows no matter what, his wife sees the good. This is what every hard working man wants.
And it is EXACTLY what Cam deserves, but didn't get! His wife better reign in her sh!t, lest she finds herself living the single life she never expected!!
his wife sounds absolutely insufferable, and i'm astounded someone as high value and as capable as him puts up with such ungrateful attitudes for a single second.
Didn't he say she's kind of OCD about patches? She immediately said how much she liked the door and that it was completed in time for the event. I don't think she is putting him down. I think she is just stating what bothers her. I had someone tell me, an adult to an adult, when I staple papers, would I please make sure the corners were more even before I stapled--what? It is the OCD. I bet everyone has at least one pet peeve. He tried his best and put it at the bottom. Hmmn, could he have admitted to a plug he tried hard to conceal and challenged her to find it? Sounds like something I would do.
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!
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.
I am a brand new subscriber to your channel. I am also a Residential construction contractor and have never seen a way to mount a sliding door on the face of wall without seeing the hardware. You did a beautiful Job! Also gave me a solution to a client's request. Kudos brother!
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.
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.
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!
i love how you are turning around the wedding ring while you are thinking if it's a good idea to change this door, seems like you unconsciously asking your wife if you should do it 😂 it's a wonderful job as always
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!
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.
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!!!
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 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.
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.
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.
Thanks for the inspiration! One tip for others trying this mechanism--'dry fit' your finished door to the wall, put a spacer on top of the door top insert, and draw a line from the spacer as the door travels the opening. Use a level to install the stationary trolley piece parallel to your line and you are golden--no need to worry about shimming the bottom wheels!
I am in South Africa. Like both doors. Enjoyed the way your wife responded. Enjoyed the way you are so concerned about your wife and doing things for her. The secret to a happy marriage is NOT "trying to make your wife happy". I built massive extensions onto my house. More than doubling the size of my house. My wife sat in my lounge and told me I do "nothing around here" and then divorced me.
That came out amazing! Eagle eye wifey, has my attention to detail eye issue as well, but I wouldn’t have said a word, bcuz that “patch” was excellent, not even worth mentioning! Loving your work✊🏼💯
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’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! 😄

Hold on.......what happened to girl power? Oh.... The girl power is to get a man to honey do it! DUH!
Chris 75 years young in Australia , have watched Every video (12-15) to end ! Was a farmer, can handle steel, cannot hamer a nail straight, cut wood to plan, Love your work Especially your Honesty and audio. Keep going! Pricing, whatever the trafic will bear. Great creative entertainment.
No hardware, I can’t believe that your wife found the knot fill in so quickly! Great job👍👍
The patch is nicer than my entire house.
I'd like to believe that the dog was intentionally sabotaging Cam.
Clearly the dogs fault
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?
@@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.
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
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
Therapist of 30 years here: Living with someone suffering (and it IS suffering, depending on the degree) from OCD means living around high anxiety and working around their need to control all aspects of their environment. Our psychology savy culture can make light of the terminology but there is a reason you hesitated. Your compassion for her and your mutual respect for each other will go a long ways towards maintaining your relationship.
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!!
it wasnt his idea..
There is absolutely no comparison to your master piece vs the other door! One looks like a pantry door the other.... a work of ART!
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.
What- no real dowel and glue?? Lol! I used to work at Woodcraft!i think you did great! Shes just too damn picky!!,
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 🔥
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.
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
Not that I’m capable of this level of work but I’d just call it a sliding slab door.
Hi
@@fjeincayup! But show it to me in 10 years. Bet it wears out!
@@spudth Considering it's plastic and knowing today's plastic "quality" you don't need to count up to 10 years, things tend to break even in one year, "premium" or not same c--p.
Speaking of imagine selling a assembly product without instructions, even the cheapest China store ones have instructions, bad English or not, it's still something, these didn't bother to waste a paper or two to print out actual instructions like what the heck ... Solely on that part I can't take this product or company seriously tell me that they just cashgrab these and move on, and rather bought a different set or even made one myself or hired a craft-person who can make one ...
I love the new door.
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
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.
New hardware!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love everything about this! It is so nice to see how much you care for your wife. You are both blessed abundantly!
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.
Absolutely stunning! No hardware is the way to go, keeps it clean and doesn't take away for the beauty of the wood itself.
Your, sir, are an extremely talented man. The door, so cleanly hung, is a piece of art!
Yes, totally, and yet the modern woman can still criticize it.
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.
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
The no show hardware is a lot cleaner looking for sure. Your wife did pick up that patch job very quickly for sure. I thought you did a good job.
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!
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!
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
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!
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 🤣
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!!
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.
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
New, no hardware. And she misses nothing! I love Walnut and Pecan. The soft closing is a great touch. Thanks again for your posting.
So many steps. So many tools. So much work. Perfect for your architecture. Job well done.
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.
"Make your wife think it was her idea." IS amazing advice indeed. Tired of your wife not deciding where she wants to eat? Tell you you're taking her somewhere, ask her to guess, then take her to where she guesses. Apply that logic wherever. Makes your life easy and gets you all the brownie points.
👉❤️😍👌
That's how I do with cats. You don't order them to come to you. You give them the desire to come to you.
This works for positive women who get excited they are going out. However for women who are pessimists they are always going to guess the place they hate the most and they know you love. So it really depends on the woman.
Old hardware. Why didn't you put the patch on the inside?
@@midnightgamingmysticnightmare if you know they hate it most, tell them they guessed incorrectly. You should know what your wife likes by this time and plan accordingly.
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)
Yes, you are also in South America, I am from Brazil and I am fascinated by your work, I am watching every day.
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
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.
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.
How beautyful! And what a beautyful house! I am sorry that your wife did not like the patch. I shoild lend her my husband with his 2 left hands, for a couple of days and she will very quickly find the patch extremely beautyful 😂😂😂
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!
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 ;)
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!
I like both. The no hardware and the old hardware. I am OCD as well, but I love knots in wood. I think you did a great job on it. Great info as well. Passing this along to my husband.
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. ❤❤❤
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.
My absolute favorite part of the Godfather pt2 is when Deniro loses his job at the deli to the Don’s nephew and refuses the charity from the owner and can only afford to bring home a single pear! And his wife comments. “Che bella sta pera” (what a lovely pear) and Deniro smiles because he knows no matter what, his wife sees the good. This is what every hard working man wants.
And it is EXACTLY what Cam deserves, but didn't get! His wife better reign in her sh!t, lest she finds herself living the single life she never expected!!
Man spitting some wisdom. I too was a little discouraged when she kind of blasted it, I'm a sensitive soul though.
his wife sounds absolutely insufferable, and i'm astounded someone as high value and as capable as him puts up with such ungrateful attitudes for a single second.
@@johnarmenta2199 Lmao cry more of those salty male tears
Didn't he say she's kind of OCD about patches? She immediately said how much she liked the door and that it was completed in time for the event. I don't think she is putting him down. I think she is just stating what bothers her. I had someone tell me, an adult to an adult, when I staple papers, would I please make sure the corners were more even before I stapled--what? It is the OCD. I bet everyone has at least one pet peeve. He tried his best and put it at the bottom. Hmmn, could he have admitted to a plug he tried hard to conceal and challenged her to find it? Sounds like something I would do.
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 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.
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.
Love the
“is that soft close?”
“You know how we do it”
5 mins earlier
“Didn’t even know it was soft close when I bought it”😂😂😂
I am a brand new subscriber to your channel. I am also a Residential construction contractor and have never seen a way to mount a sliding door on the face of wall without seeing the hardware. You did a beautiful Job! Also gave me a solution to a client's request. Kudos brother!
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.
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.
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.
i love how you are turning around the wedding ring while you are thinking if it's a good idea to change this door, seems like you unconsciously asking your wife if you should do it 😂
it's a wonderful job as always
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!
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.
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!!!
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
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!!
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.
Old & New. Love bits of both. Beautiful work.
I’m not a handyman AT ALL, but I do love seeing all the tools that are available for almost every idea possible.
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!”
No Hardware! Very clever with the hardware comment on the end for credit to watch to the end!! Even 2 years later. You did a beautiful job!!
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.
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.
Thanks for the inspiration!
One tip for others trying this mechanism--'dry fit' your finished door to the wall, put a spacer on top of the door top insert, and draw a line from the spacer as the door travels the opening. Use a level to install the stationary trolley piece parallel to your line and you are golden--no need to worry about shimming the bottom wheels!
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 am in South Africa. Like both doors. Enjoyed the way your wife responded. Enjoyed the way you are so concerned about your wife and doing things for her. The secret to a happy marriage is NOT "trying to make your wife happy". I built massive extensions onto my house. More than doubling the size of my house. My wife sat in my lounge and told me I do "nothing around here" and then divorced me.
I fell your pain.
Women am I right
Sorry she divorced you, but... Her loss, mate! Her loss!
Stupid woman!!😲 She gives the rest of us a bad name.🙄 Make sure the next one is your friend BEFORE you marry her. 😜😝
You're better off without her.....
I do like the old door, but the new one fits the house so much better. Great job!
That came out amazing! Eagle eye wifey, has my attention to detail eye issue as well, but I wouldn’t have said a word, bcuz that “patch” was excellent, not even worth mentioning! Loving your work✊🏼💯
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. 👍🏻👍🏻
No hardware, as they say "no good deed goes unpunished". It's beautiful and nice wall patch job.
Love how you give tips for people who are excited, but might be intimidated by the amount of talent, knowledge, and special tools required!
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! 😄
