DIY Creators something to think of for the aluminum on the door. Ask a local shop to see ifthe can anodize it to give it a warmer look or even black to match the handle you made.
This video is on point! 👍🏻 I am a 54 year old grandmother who loves woodworking. I was looking for a tutorial for a simple barn door and the installation. I'm so glad I am a subscriber of yours and found this video. I love all of your videos and the way you explain each step as well as any problems you encounter. Thanks for sharing!
@@eatermckinnon4644 I personally think it's way nore fun and worth it when made by yourself (myself) I'd like to make most of the furniture in my future house with my husband so my kids can maybe carry on the creativity and our house and the objects inside would have a deeper meaning for us. And if we don't want it we sell it pretty fair and maybe expencive cause it's been handmade.
Great job man, but door Over door + 250$ budget (you can buy best wood doors from any professional for 300$) + glue every where (im the ONLY one that can see it on the joints?)... Im seeing as a way to not do mine like that! Keep up the work
I think you are a great carpenter. I loved watching you do this project. Even though there is 0 chance I could ever make something like this, I very much enjoyed it. Thanks.
I like that! I have a place in my house that needs privacy, but a door would,looks stupid, my decor is more modern than rustic. This is perfect solution
Great project. Love the way you make great use of the tools you have available - hand router inverted to use like a routing table, aluminum bars for guide rails, old school dowels for joining, etc. Proof that great projects don't require big dollar tools or full blown workshops. Keep up the great work!
If u r nature lover....u can add small sapling pots... hanging or sticking to the slide door u made in this vdo...! Door is just awesome as you...loved it
Great work man! Keep up the good work and don't loose sight of the small details that makes your work unique. BTW the roller bearings on the bottom are how I will do all of my slider installs from now on
You have a lot of skills and a lot of toys! Amazing! Thumbs up! You are a well trained carpenter and I wonder where you got your training? Your dad? One thing I can tell you that you might not know is you NEVER put nails or screws into the wood, parallel with the grain as you did at 11:20 min. Across the grain is much stronger. Those screws can easily be pulled out! They don't grip the wood, like cross grain screws would
Hi! I'm from Brazil and i like so much this guy. I'm subscribed on their channel cause it's awesome. Usually, i like so much their projects. Good job...
It's comments like "and now for the most exciting part of wood working. the sanding." that make this the best channel around. thanks Glen, you're a legend :)
You are pure class sir, very useful video with easy to follow instructions, great you also mention cost and where you were able to save money by making an alternative to shop bought.
I was looking for some barn doors last summer but gave up because what you said above. Now, I think I am going to go to Viva Home to get some materials.
You are right, Rodríguez is a Hispanic last name and I am from Cuba, but I've been living in Hiroshima since last April. You can check my channel if you like.
Wow.... I need one of you around here. Trying to DIY my own space but don’t have the saws etc and know how besides being half your size. I have basic saws, a couple of saw horses and determination. Nothing looks as sleek and modern as your work. I have an industrial vintage look going that way I can get away with imperfections.
Looks very nice great job! One thing though the strips you glued across the grain in the routed dado are gonna try to prevent the panels from moving with changing moisture. With all that cross grain you will have a ton of movement. I am betting the glue will fail, the panels will crack and/or the whole thing will curl up big time. Best to screw the strips in using slotted screwholes. Give it a couple humid summers and dry winters. Something's gotta give. I've seen many antique tables and box lids split this way.
Thank you. Yes, I know where you are coming from. It was one of my concern. I have to watch it and see what will happen in time. Worst case I'll make another video and share what happened.
What will most likely happen is when the timber shrinks in summer the door will curl in away from the wall where the braces are and in winter when it expands it will curl the other way. It shouldn't break because the inlaid strips will bend easily. You might just get away with it. If it was made from poplar or western red cedar that was properly kiln dried you'd probably have no issue because it's really stable wood.
Yeah I kind of cringed with the two vertical cross grain glued up pieces . The aluminum angle on both sides will be fighting expansion/contraction as well. I give the guy credit for giving it hell though. Great idea making that handle.
C Spann I too cringed a little when I saw long grain being fixed across cross grain, when I was an apprentice you got your knuckles rapped if you so much as got a panel pin into a door panel so as to restrict seasonal movement. I would have fixed the braces in with a sliding dovetail, hard fixed with a screw in the centre and other board fixed by way of slots same for the angle. In my experience in the U.K. Soft wood will continue to shrink if used indoors for about a year. I'd like to know if this door does crack after a year or so, perhaps we can have a report on it, what I was thought may be wrong
Aloha, I like the door you made. Some places here have cinder block walls. This home where we live is wood with a concrete floor. It's a rental, but our landlord is open to improvements. The door in our home limits the area of use around it. I was also interested in the wall connector for the door because I like the idea of movable wall units like Clei furniture made for the NY housing display at the NY Museum in 2013. The walls move to make a small apartment usable throughout the day. I'm trying to make my limited space home functional & be strong enough when the big guys are here. We don't want things to break and want it very comfortable. I like your work. Thank you, Kai
$254 Bucks on this Project? Plus all the work and Man Hours? No way. I would just rather buy a kit for $300-400 They have them out their. Thanks for the video, Fantastic work. Door Looks Great.
Good stuff. Great tip about letting the boards dry out. I used tongue and groove boards so I was able to build my door in a day. It took about a week to stain and polyurethane it. Then another day to mount it. I used ratchet straps because I didn't have a clamp that large either.
Best.RUclips.Explanation.EVER! Thank you very much for giving me the confidence to build it myself! Like me, you didn't have everything at your disposal ... so you improvised. That's me in a nutshell. I hate when a pro just has everything a woodshop needs and expects you to have the same equipment! Thanks again!
I thought he explained his reasons very well. The existing windowed door lacked privacy for his bedroom, he didn't want curtains, and he had always wanted a barn door. I think he also gained a bit more security, and although this is my first time watching one of his videos, he seems to enjoy a new DIY challenge.

Well, there is still wooden strips in the wall. This is what the drywall is attached to. I located them so I can use them as a backing. This way I don't break the drywall when tightening the bolts.

I was wondering why 2,6K people didn't like it. So much great work in this video. I suspect it is because the door were not the best solution on top of the other nice door.
Dude! Getting ready to build my first barn door also… Was delighted to come across your video!

looks great! I appreciate that you shared some of the little snags along the way like needing to fix the moulding and such.
Awesome work. I am a carpenter of 35 years and you have just as many tools as I
